There are secrets about the Fire Rats for the players to discover for themselves.<ref name=":1" />

History

The Fire Rats started as a group of survivors who found themselves stranded on StarCitizen:Bloom after Pyrotechnic Amalgamated went bankrupt in 2563. Forced to cobble together a life for themselves, they took over their former barracks. It is rumored that when resources began to run low, a large [[StarCitizen::Category:Cargo ships|cargo ship]] that had been hit by a powerful solar flare crashed near their settlement, granting them a bounty of supplies. This is believed to be the origin of their reverence for Pyro's star and its especially violent solar activity.<ref name=":1" /><ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Beliefs

One of the Fire Rat’s initiation rites involves exposing oneself to a solar flare as a form of purification and they have burns from it.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

“Enlightened” members of the gang often visit StarCitizen:Pyro II during times of intense solar flares to commune with the Prophet.<ref name=":0" />

The Fire Rats’ beliefs surrounding the Prophet remain a closely held secret.<ref name=":0" />
