Starwayman

"Starwayman" was a colloquial term referring to a criminal that operated on an interstellar scale (i.e along hyperlanes or "starways"). The term could be used in reference to an individual that carried out crimes between star systems, though many associated the term "starwayman" with piracy and smuggling. Accordingly, the term "highwayman" referred to a criminal that operated along highways and other major roads on a planet's surface.

Other terms referring to interstellar criminals included "space crook", "starfolk" (though this term could refer to anyone who spends their career traveling through space), and "star bandit".
