Ship's Shares
Gateway to the Caribbean had a sort of "prize money" set up, but applied to the success in making profitable trades.
Most mercenary companies would have a "booty distribution" arrangement. Examples I've seen usually take 50% of the post-expenses profit and stash it in the unit's general fund. The remainder is divvied up into shares, like a privateer's arrangement.
Hmmmmm...anybody issuing "Letters of Marque and Reprisal" in the Twilight world?
