Ships are free, and indeed encouraged, to register themselves as hostile with this registry.
Ships registered here wish it to be known that they are willing to open fire unprovoked.
Note that being registered here does not guarantee that a ship will open fire if you meet. However, you are encouraged to hail a hostile ship to confirm their intentions, if you don't have a prior arrangement.
Hostile registered ships are still expected to act honourably. They should not attack if they have previously stated that they will not, and they should not attack young ships (subject to the exceptions listed above).
