The Fuel Rats and the Fight For Fuelum
30 Oct 2018Scubadog
The Silverbacks heard the call across the wave to assist the Fuel Rats (faction The Fuel Rats Mischief) in holding on to their system, Fuelum. I had just returned from doing some more engineering of my Corvette and put her to bed and spun up my moderately-engineered Cobra. A few jumps later I checked in with the station in Fuelum to check the status. The Fuel Rats were still down in the balance, so I headed to one of the combat zones to fly under their banner. I was not prepared for the incredible number of commanders joined together to support the Fuel Rats. It was certainly well-deserved. An enemy hardly had a chance to wake into the combat area without immediately being set upon by allied commanders and quickly being dispatched. You were lucky to get any combat credits because so many commanders were picking apart enemy ships. It didn't take long, however, for the balance to do decidedly in favor of the Fuel Rats. I'm glad to say I played a small part in a successful campaign to help one of the hardest-working factions in known space.
