Ransom was the practice of holding a prisoner to extort money or other concessions. It could also refer to the sum of money involved.
Examples[]
- When the Rneekii Pirates kidnapped the Empire's Chief scientist of the TIE Defender project. They sought to ransom him to the highest bidder, which became the Empire. However they underestimated the Empire's resolve and were defeated with both the scientist and the ransom recovered.
