The Space Rats were an outlaw gang opposed to the Terran Federation's ban of all leisure transport. Motivated by the thrill of speed they drove, flew and otherwise piloted all manner of vehicles, particularly single-pilot space choppers. The Space Rats stole and murdered for their needs and rarely bathed.
