Pirates take a ship, kill the entire crew, and put a prize crew aboard. The passengers retake the ship and get it back to an honest starport. The captain was sole owner, and information about any heirs is a sector away.

What kind of salvage fee are the passengers due?

What will an Admirality court do? Put the ship in an impound lot until heir information gets here? Sell the ship, pay the salvage fee and escrow the remaining money?

How big a starport do you need to have for such a court to be there?

I am looking for an excuse for the court to let the passengers run the ship till things get sorted out. How irregular would that be?

The local bigwigs will push this as an excuse to get regular subsidized cargo runs on the cheap. You have to check back every 6 months for the latest legal developments, right?
