Overview
The Moonshine Crew operates under the banner of the Nothing Corporation, but with a style all their own. Formed by Captain Tracy and staffed with hand-picked allies (and a couple of family members), the crew balances chaotic missions, moral ambiguity, and galaxy-scale existential crises—usually while arguing over who’s really in charge.
Their ship, The Moonshine, is a modified dispatch vessel known for its stubborn durability and questionable fuel economy. Despite scoring low on corporate efficiency metrics, the Moonshine Crew has a reputation for getting the job done—with flair, resistance, or collateral damage depending on the day.
Known Operations
-
Rescue operation on Brenner 7
Clashed with the Skull Pirates while extracting civilians from a badlands outpost. Officially labeled “salvage.” Unofficially: “A moral stand with fireworks.” -
Disrupted AI meltdown at Cosmic Elementary
Prevented a corrupted Tamagotchi uprising. Mr. Green later denied involvement. The Captain claimed it was “a heartfelt misunderstanding between childlike wonder and murderous code.” -
Multiple leaderboard infractions
Frequently penalized for not choosing the “fastest” solution. Proudly ranks low on efficiency but high on fan conspiracy boards.
Reputation
The Moonshine Crew is both admired and ridiculed. They’re seen as outdated romantics by the leaderboard-obsessed elite and as stubborn heroes by those trapped in the margins. Their friction with the Nothing Corporation is well-known but tolerated—for now. Dispatch calls them “a useful anomaly.”
