Next Episode: The Y1K Bug: February 21 - 22, 2026
The Skeeters constitute a prominent and chaotic group of scavengers, renowned for their swift hit-and-run assaults on unsuspecting ships. They earned their colloquial moniker from their distinctive assault craft, equipped with crude overclocked engines that buzz and shake violently. These craft are capable of latching onto ships, akin to mosquitoes, to siphon off fuel before swiftly flying away, leaving their victims immobilized. The Skeeters are a recurring scourge, raiding indiscriminately and wielding recklessly cobbled-together tech that is as likely to backfire as it is to harm an adversary. Persistent rumors circulate about specialized Skeeters known as 'Shitnomancers,' capable of seemingly impossible technological feats. However, many dismiss these claims as victims misinterpreting the Skeeters' unstable scrap tech.
