StarCitizen:R.A.P.T.O.R: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:06, 9 April 2026

The StarCitizen:Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern R.A.P.T.O.R (Reclamation and Personal Transportation of Rubbish) is a cleaning vehicle that started as an April Fool's joke before becoming earnable as a referral reward.

It stands as the paramount tool in the battle against waste. The galaxy we inhabit is in a deplorable state of filth and grime. The accumulation of waste and refuse from the inhabitants of this vast expanse is overwhelming and seemingly never-ending. It is evident that heroic individuals are required to step up and address this dire situation. These heroes must be willing to confront the mess head-on, to immerse themselves in the dirt and grime, and to restore cleanliness to the galaxy. Hence, the creation of the R.A.P.T.O.R was specifically designed for individuals like you. With the R.A.P.T.O.R at your disposal, a pristine and gleaming future is within reach. There is no time to waste. Take action now and embark on the mission to cleanse the galaxy of its impurities.<ref name="presentation">Script error: No such module "Cite RSI".</ref>

Development
