About Slug Punx

A Brief Introduction.

Little is known when it comes to the origins of the Slugz, other than it was founded by a band of CMDR's around 3290.

Based in the Mudusitoq system at an outpost on planet 1A. They were thought to be working alongside their chief scientist, Chuck Neural.

When Neural suggested that he may be able to develop a weapon which had the capability of housing an infinite supply of ammunition, the Slugz placed all of their funding into the project. Progress was slow as Neural said that he required obscene amounts of liquid nitrogen, amounts not possible by such a small group. This was until they probed the 10th planet within the system and found that it contained a nitrogen atmosphere, eureka! Surely progress was to be made now.      

The Slugz set up a second outpost on Mudusitoq 1A, where they carried out their experiments on the new tech, searching for any form of breakthrough. Months passed, then years. With little to no progress or results to show for their efforts. The project was about to be scrapped, until a small lead suggested that hydrogen, not just nitrogen, was the answer to the failing equations. With the local star of Mudusitoq being made of exactly that, it was therefore scoop-able and work began anew. In mere weeks a breakthrough had been made, not quite unlimited ammo but the abundance of hydrogen in the universe made it an almost free ammunition.

Word spread quickly of a unique weapon being developed by a small arms dealer in Mudusitoq, this rapidly caught the attention of the local super power Li Yong-Rui, who saw an opportunity to capitalise from selling the tech on the open market. He ordered the infiltration of the Slugz to steal all research related to the 'Slug Rounds'. When all necessary research was smuggled off the planets outposts, Li Yong-Rui ordered the destruction of the bases and all people working on the project, to take the prize as his own. Vast armadas fell upon Mudusitoq and laid waste to all bases and ships in the Slug fleet. Including civilian ships!

All but one carrier was destroyed, this lone carrier known as "The Slug" which was a Drake-class freighter, fled, it jumped for months. Until it came to The Great Annihilator, a large black hole on the fringes on the galactic core. As word spread and it became common knowlegde that Jacques Station had appeared near the Eol Prou sector and began establishing a second colonial 'bubble', the Slugz saw the opportunity to begin anew, set up their freighter for the sale of weaponry and modules and become one of the leading arms dealers in & around Colonia.

Once settled in Colonia and its surrounding systems the Slugz went about rebuilding, increasing and strengthening their fleet with the acquisition of a fresh wave of CMDR's. In recent years it is known that the Slugz have been operating in and around the area of space that The Dark Wheel are known to reside in, reinforcing the belief that these two factions may just be working alongside each other. Little else is known.
