for thier next attack, they discover a set of encyclopedias and the
salesman for them. He shows them an entry for a pleasant, unprotected,
and rich planet not too far from thier present location. After they
leave to go after this plum. the salesman reveals to the outraged crew
that the place doesn't exist and in fact was inserted into the book to
catch plagarists. They inform the "space patrol" types of the
destination of the pirates, and they are caught. Might be a useful start
to a scenario design.

	Actually, that was also the general plot of one of Fred
Saberhagen's
	Berserker stories.  It was entitled something like
	"The destruction of Ankor Efelion".
