History

Founded by two good ‘ole boys from a back water planet you’ve never heard of, Parduke and Fortway Elrod rose to prominence in the early part of 2489. Partly due to their racing ability, but mostly due to their style… You see them boys somehow managed to find a beat up Idris-P left to drift to her death after some conflict or ‘nother. Parduke was somehow able to magic her back into working order (sorta) and then Fortway got the bright idea they could use her to safely travel the less savory sectors of the galaxy, starting with their own back yard.

Born as pig farmers, the two had been working for years as salvagers and modders on any scrap of space junk that came their way. They would earn extra cash using the best parts to build racers for local competition. But anytime they built something that started to do well, the local thugs would step in and take it from them. The Idris solved that problem for them, letting them beat feet and get to high sec areas with their tools and ships safely snuggled away.

They soon found out the hardest part of having that ‘ole Idris was keeping her running. She had an appetite for parts that would put a space whale to shame. So given their farming past and their inability to sit still, the name Gypsy Pig seemed perfect.

They also found out that their racing ability was far better than they had a right to think. With no one to steal from them they were able to do something for the first time in their lives, use new parts (which they tinkered with anyhow). Rising quickly in the amateur circuits, they soon had sponsors lining up. And what would any good ‘ole boys do with those sponsors… decorate the piss outta the side of Gypsy Pig. Soon thereafter they found they needed managers, fuel teams, more scavengers, and everything else that goes along with high end professional racing. So they did what anybody else from the backwater would… they hired their family, made a company, and painted a pig on it.
