I think that is the case so far, unfortunately.

I've been trying to get information from the Japanese Wikipedia article for the series (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ミニスカ宇宙海賊), however since I can't read kanji yet, I've had to use Google Translate - as such the information is a bit patchy. I was wondering if it would be OK to check some of this information with people here who are in a position to see if there are any mistakes.

Spoiler for Brief character information for novel characters (possibly inaccurate) from japanese wiki entry:

Barbaroosa Crew:

Nora (ノーラ): Deputy officer. Methuselah (long-life species). On the crew since the time of the War of Independence.

Frontier Pirate Guild:

Grant Mueller? Mueller Grant? (ミューラ・グラント): Methuselah. Pirate Guild executive. Captain of the Chimaera of Skylla. Has had a large bounty for at least half a century. Cold and harsh personality. Mastermind behind events concerning the Stellar Slayer (which answers my earlier question about whether she was a villain or not). Uses whatever means as a pirate? Tried to seize the Odette II to move the frontier countries (something about Jackie and failure)? After incident, (not sure - sent invitation for pirate guild membership to the yacht club? doesn't seem right)
Mira Grant? Myra Grant? (マイラ・グラント): Sister of the above. Like sister, a Methuselah and has a bounty. Captain of the 'Queen of Love'?

Galactic Empire:

Nut Nashfall? (ナット・ナッシュフォール): Also known as "Nash". Childhood friend of Coorie. Intelligence officer.

Can resist poison gas? Many bounty hunters after his bounty. Scammer. Attempted to repossess the Odette II, posing as a fake tax collector (Vol 4). Infiltrated Hakuoh to acquire a buried document from the War of Independence (Vol 8)?

Spoiler for Brief term information for novel terms (possibly inaccurate) from japanese wiki entry:

Spoiler for Brief novel information for the unadapted novels (possibly inaccurate) from japanese wiki entry:

Vol 4: The Jet-Black Shipwreck? (漆黒の難破船). A distress signal from the Kurotori, though lost 120 years ago during the War of Indepedence, reaches the Bentenmaru and Odette II. The next day, a man claiming to be a tax officer appears at the yacht club's room, informing them that the Odette II is to be repossessed due to unpaid tax (or something like that).

Spoiler:

Lynn's investigation exposes the man as a fraud, the yacht club takes countermeasures to safeguard the Odette II.
Vol 5: The White Salvage Ship? (白銀の救難船). Continues from Vol 4. To find out the truth behind the distress signal and the attempt to seize the Odette II, the Bentenmaru, Barbaroosa and Odette II head for the Garnet A system.

Spoiler:

Ririka is with the yacht club in control of the Odette II. (Some business with the Odette II jumping and the control station. Forced to jump somewhere? Path diverted? Strange that they'd allow a jump?)
Vol 6: The Crimson Pirate Ship (真紅の海賊船). Conclusion of story started in Vol 4. To save the Odette II and its crew who have ended up in the conflicted frontier (Seven Star Federal Republic), Marika and the Bentenmaru go after them. However the mastermind of these events awaits...

Spoiler:

The mastermind is an executive of a frontier pirate guild. Although it isn't stated on the wiki, Marika's successful rescue has been mentioned on this forum.
Vol 7: The Pale Skull Star (蒼白の髑髏星). After training with the Fifth Imperial Fleet, Marika receives a request from the empire's intelligence unit to infiltrate the frontier pirate fortress, Skull Star (and an invitation from the guild?). Marika, Coorie and her friend, the intelligence officer Nash, head there in the Silent Whisper.
Vol 8: The Purple Witch's Battle? (very uncertain) (紫紺の戦魔女). While Marika was at the Skull Star, she met the bounty hunter Noel Blue.

Spoiler:

During a kidnapping incident involving Gruier.

Marika receives a call from her in feedback after her usual job, reunites with her on a cruise ship and learns of her search for a large bounty.

Spoiler:

The bounty being on Jackie, the scammer from Vol 4.
