The Starhugger Setting
Looks like Carlo coined a setting.
Starhugger Setting. ATU characterized by (1) star-system based jump-capable societies (Starhuggers) originally colonized by generation ships, (2) deep-space city ships which send out jump raiders to pillage, collect slaves, and gather tech, and (3) colossal nomadic sublight ships (miles across), which with their escorts occasionally enter star systems (including populated ones) to harvest resources. Some are merchant-ruled, some reclusive, and some hostile.
