@danderson There was also a service I almost joined to help defend people. It felt a little too heavily structured for me though. (Lots of rules and regulations. Exact procedures both sides must follow, etc.) Kind of a paladin order in a sort of way. And then there are others like the Hutton Truckers who started off doing the slow flight to Hutton Orbital just to buy and resell those mugs and they started sort of banding together.
The Fuel Rats are pretty special though.
Did you hear about the one where someone flew to the absolute farthest point of the galaxy and then kept going as far as they could in real space until they ran out of fuel? The Fuel Rats came and rescued that person too. Literally the farthest possible point in the entire galaxy...
