Grippy Sock Squad: specialists in ‘alternative accommodations.’ Tickets to Grippy Sock Central are complimentary, but return trips are not guaranteed.
History
The Grippy Sock Squad began not as pirates, but as survivors. Early crews found themselves fighting toe-to-toe against better-funded corporations and trigger-happy mercs. Outgunned and outnumbered, they leaned into absurdity to mask a terrifying truth—they always won.
Their calling card? A sock. Not just any sock, but the padded, grippy kind issued in hospital wards and barracks. To their enemies, it was a joke. To their allies, it was a promise. Wherever the sock appeared, someone was about to be dragged kicking and screaming to Grippy Sock Central —a whispered euphemism for the kind of captivity no one returned from.
The name stuck. What began as a jest became an identity. The squad forged a reputation across the verse: pirates with discipline, PvPers with honor, and tricksters with teeth. They plundered haulers, raided bunkers, and walked away grinning, their emblem of the fist and sock stitched onto hulls and flight suits alike.
Now, when pilots see the glint of gold and the flash of neon grips, they know the choice: pay respect—or pay fare straight to Grippy Sock Central.
Manifesto
We do not ask permission. We create opportunities.
Every encounter is a test, every raid an experiment, every ambush a story worth retelling.
We thrive on the unexpected. Our victories are loud, our failures are lessons, and both fuel the laughter that binds us.
“A ship on the horizon isn’t a threat—it’s an invitation.” – Peznauts
We believe in chaos sharpened by discipline, in turning the absurd into a weapon, and in never underestimating the power of timing, luck, and numbers.
We are not here to follow the game’s path. We are here to carve our own, to turn stars into stages and fights into legends.
Above all, we will laugh, we will learn, and we will leave a mark on every soul lucky enough to find themselves booked one-way to Grippy Sock Central.
We are not a footnote.
We are the punchline.
We are the Grippy Sock Squad.
