StarCitizen:Fuel Pump
More actions
Fuel Pump is a StarCitizen:human franchise of service stations that offers refueling, rearming, and repair services. Started in StarCitizen:2665, its installations now dot the known universe.<ref name="observist">Template:Cite RSI</ref> Often described as retro themed, the chain cultivates a "good old days" image rooted in Croshaw culture of the 2690s, presenting itself as a relevant part of Human culture rather than a disposable waystation.<ref name="portfolio">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
History
Fuel Pump is the oldest of the major refueling chains, regarded as the last of the old guard alongside its competitors StarCitizen:Cry-Astro and StarCitizen:CTR. The company reinforces its wholesome, family-friendly reputation by sponsoring activities and events, and its name and logo appear on venues ranging from StarCitizen:sataball arenas to racing teams.<ref name="portfolio" />
Although the era of the complimentary spit-shine has passed, standard Fuel Pump stations are still built around traditional full-service refueling and rearming. The company emphasizes a higher class of technician, with individual stations typically staffing at least one professionally trained repair crew leader at all times. Where competitors generally focus on standard maintenance and do-it-yourself options, Fuel Pump continues to offer services ranging from tune-ups to ground-up frame rebuilds. The company also provides tractor towing within safe space, but will not enter sectors with high TSAS ratings for repair or recovery operations.<ref name="portfolio" />
Fuel Pump is known across the Empire for its annual "Fuel Pump Ship" toy event, in which a different toy spacecraft is issued each August 10th in honor of the chain's founding. The initial issues represented traditional fueling ships, such as the StarCitizen:Starfarer and StarCitizen:Hull D, while later issues featured more action-oriented spacecraft, such as a military-style Hornet, presented in Fuel Pump livery. The toys remain a favorite of both children and collectors.<ref name="portfolio" />
