WHY?

Christie Quartz with Ironbeard treating her with kid gloves means she's important to the Galactic Empire's Queen.
Draw implications from that is that she's royalty. He has orders from above but can't manhandle her.
Killing royalty could bring unnecessary disproportionate retribution not only on the frontier privateers but the worlds that support them.
Meaning this is a diplomatic incident in the making!
Ironbeard is allowing the honorable duel to teach Quartz a lesson on pirates. Meaning he's convinced Marika would give her a spanking without getting killed in the process.
