Notes

Paid to harbourmasters, dock officials, clerks and anyone else whose position gives them something worth having. Universally condemned and universally budgeted for.

In Oathbond terms it is a Station violation, since a person paid to do a thing has agreed to do it. This is well understood by everybody taking one.
