I don't have a large hatred of Steel Song. It's iddy biddy little hatred. I just wear it on my shoulder like all good cats do. You ever see a cat hiding its emotion? It's angry - it swipes at you. It's feeling neglected. It swipes at you. It's feeling frustrated. It swipes at you. It's feeling jealous. It swipes at you. It's feeling an overwhelming urge to destroy all remnants of a corrupt and inbred clan who's lineage includes at least five generations of Ratkin, two Hund-offspring, and goes by the name Steel Song. It swipes at you, presses multiple red buttons, and watches a volley of HK Torps take out the nearest dozen Steel Song ships. Oh ... It's feeling happy. It playfully swipes at you.

Want to know what i hate? Trade embargos. "Oh, no! The fighting is so horrible, let's be civil and have a trade ban." "Oh, what's that? You purchased water-fuel from a planet of a Faction we are banning trade with, cuz you didn't want to sail through 10 AU's of deep space with no fuel whatsoever? Guess who's gonna get a bounty on his head..." It's certainly prudent to have caches of water fuel scattered throughout the quadrant. In fact, some captains have even resorted to having large cargo ships stored in drydock JUST to use as emergency fuel tanks during those embargo situations. Of course, when I hear about a trade embargo with Steel Song, the first thing I do is buy lots from the faction that has that embargo. I haven't yet hit -50,000 in reputation with Steel Song - but I'm clooooooooooooooose

"I hate faction alliances, especially with Steel Song. I mean, what's the point? You can't shoot Steel Song at all, and you don't get rewarded for leaving anyone alone. It's very much stick and no carrot. I don't like carrots, but I'd appreciate one being offered." "Don't you think alliances help keep quadrant peace?" "No - they make me so aaaaaaaaaangry - that when the alliance is over, I end up killing twice as many Steel Song ships to make up for the lost opportunities." "That's a little disturbing. Want a carrot?" "Yeah ... okay."

Guys guys, take your fighting elsewhere. This is a reputable establishment. Or at least, we've established a reputation. You wanna talk games, go fire a torp. You wanna get Steel Song tech, there's a teapot shop around the corner. You want the finest good effective cheap Spice, and mostly non-watered down Vudka, you've come to the right place.

I'm sure that the Empire saw themselves as the good guys too - if they were Steel Song, their death star would have been made out of paper mache

Torping everyone here in the spice hall in thanks.
I'm thankful that Steel Song exists, otherwise there would be more peace, more intelligent life in the quadrant, and more hats.
Steel Song are a blessing for Cadar manufacturers who would otherwise have to find other reasons for their excessive torp production.
Having Steel Song in the quadrant makes animals like the Arghblargle happy because with Steel Song, the Arghblargle has something stupider than it is (and that's saying something),
and finally ... let's face it, with the military prowess of a wet squib, Steel Song can really only pick on Javat and Rychart. Even then, Javat are probably the foremost experts on armor plating, so teapots are not that effective on Javat ships. Teapots vs Rychart hats, on the other hand ...
So yes, there IS a purpose in the quadrant for Steel Song. Let's all raise a glass, and Toast to our less fortunate, descendants of Ratkin, the Steel Song faction.

You don't need to get along with Steel Song. Once you've got more than a few points on your pilot's license, you're more than qualified to take them on directly. They are bullies and cowards at heart, and it doesn't take much to put holes in their hull. In fact, the challenge is to keep them intact enough so you can board, loot, then salvage them.

Steel Song, don't get me started on Steel Song. They have a piss-poor excuse for a fleet, and are trying to live the glory days when cardboard ships were all the rage. They prosper through piracy, have zero intrinsic benefit to anyone in the quadrant* and waste a terrible amount of teapots. Vudka with a spice-rimmed class. *Okay, I do admit that Steel Song ships do provide useful target practice for crews

It does speak volumes that of the great clans, Alta Mesa, Javat, Steel Song, Moklumnue, Zenrin and Thulun, only one proclaims that they are not a clan, but rather, a house. According to Thulun aristocracy, "Clan" denotes those uncivilized people, only just out of mud houses and living in tribal conditions. A great house, on the other hand, rules on high with the power of a dynastic rule spanning millennia.

I didn't modify this SSC banner in any way. I just took it from the STF SSC design. And of course, I'm sure most Cadari would struggle trying to cut a piece of cloth with a blade. Cadar relies on the fact that shrapnel often has sharp edges and moves fast. Going through fabric or cardboard is relatively easy. Accurate cuts aren't so easy to achieve. Still, I'm happy to fire a few hundred torps at Steel Song in order to get one cut in the right location.

I guess I'd be banned from editing the Steel Song wiki page. I couldn't promise to be purely objective. Then again, I'd only be stating fact if I mentioned Steel Song ships were made out of cardboard (and clingwrap), their torpedoes were really just teapots, and they were descendants of Ratkin.
Oh ... and they are very squishy when shot at ...

resistor I like the slices you put into your Steel Song banner. Almost as though a Cadari knife sliced through them. Except we all know Cadari use torps not knives ...

Devaltos. "Any deal where you don't lose your grandmother is a good deal" "Why share when you can own" Cadar "Torps are the most common form of greeting" "Only someone from Cadar would be brave enough to go alien hunting... or stupid enough" - Starfire Of course you also have our glorious Creator By the Maker, I hate Cadar warships. Sometimes I go in and remove them from the game. Later I repent and put them back in. The cycle continues. Javat "If you can't build it yourself, then you don't really need it" Steel Song "Our ships aren't just made out of cardboard. We use cling film as well" Rychart "You should really try our Rouge. It's so much better than Vudka. Please try our Rouge. Pretty please. We'll be your friends. We need friends. <sniff>" Thulun "Does this lace make me look fat?"
