Claimsies

Claimsies and unclaimsies constituted a policy of appropriation on the isolated planet of At Attin. By calling claimsies, one could lay claim to an entity and become its legitimate owner. By calling unclaimsies, in turn, one could reverse a previously laid claim, rendering it ineffective if the unclaimsies was called in the presence of the original claimer. The calling of unclaimsies made an entity ownerless until claimsies was called again.

In the New Republic Era, a conflict arose between the boys Wim and Neel and the girls Fern and KB concerning the ownership of the Onyx Cinder, an abandoned starship the younglings had found in the woods, before an unclaimsies established Fern as the rightful owner. Her ownership was later solidified when pirate droid SM-33 recognized her as the captain of the vessel. Following their accidental departure from their homeworld, the younglings had their ship intercepted by a pirate crew. With Captain Silvo laying claim to the Onyx Cinder, Fern called unclaimsies to regain her position, and according to SM-33, the unclaimsies was close enough to the Pirate's Code for him to recognize her as the rightful captain.
