While Trader Vox have oaths of pacification and wish to flee rather than fight, Crew Vox are quick to find that in certain situations these will no longer be viable options and as such they must adapt. Breaking the Inviolate is often no issue for crew Vox, many of which are not expecting to meet up with a larger group anyway. Overall, crew Vox react to combat and the Inviolate as they need to be for their chosen profession.

==Naming Conventions==
The Vox have three distinct naming conventions that appear to be part of their Inviolate.
# '''Formal names.''' A long string of descriptive titles, clan affiliations, notable jobs, military service, and physical or mental features of note. Stalwart Second-Deck Overseer of Rolling-Wave, He of Many Quills, Lancer of the Third Wing, Strong-arm, Born to Yellow-Tree.
# '''Use-names.''' A single physical or mental feature, the name of the current clan of the individual, and a unique, short sound (one syllable). Ex. Vicious Darting-Minnow Lex. This mode is only used when speaking to friends or family. Very close friends are permitted to use the last term of a use-name.
# '''Raider names.''' Call-signs, in other words, also common in military crews. These are usually one or two words at best, chosen or given informally to describe the subject. Ex. Red Hegga. Calling someone by their raider name is usually considered an invitation to violence if you aren't part of their crew, or if they are no longer raiding or in the military.
