Hmm. I still fail to see how that differs from Thukker.

Why use the term? Just as there were a wide variety of types of cowboys in real life and various forms of fiction, it can be used to mean different things with archetypes.

I don't know. Someone else used the term.

I think Issac Asimov first used the term 'Space Western' to describe futuristic fiction that took place in space, but was light on the science. It's the view of space as the final frontier, so of course Captain Kirk is a 'space cowboy'.

Lowsec/nullsec freelancers might fit as well considering that those are frontier regions with alot of unexploited resources and the absence of law-enforcement.
