Fuel Pump
What to know
Fuel Pump is a human franchise of service stations that offers refueling, rearming, and repair services. Started in 2665, its installations now dot the known universe. Often described as retro themed, the chain cultivates a "good old days" image rooted in Croshaw culture of the 2690s, presenting itself as a relevant part of Human culture rather than a disposable waystation.

History
Fuel Pump is the oldest of the major refueling chains, regarded as the last of the old guard alongside its competitors Cry-Astro and CTR. The company reinforces its wholesome, family-friendly reputation by sponsoring activities and events, and its name and logo appear on venues ranging from sataball arenas to racing teams.
Although the era of the complimentary spit-shine has passed, standard Fuel Pump stations are still built around traditional full-service refueling and rearming. The company emphasizes a higher class of technician, with individual stations typically staffing at least one professionally trained repair crew leader at all times. Where competitors generally focus on standard maintenance and do-it-yourself options, Fuel Pump continues to offer services ranging from tune-ups to ground-up frame rebuilds. The company also provides tractor towing within safe space, but will not enter sectors with high TSAS ratings for repair or recovery operations.
Fuel Pump is known across the Empire for its annual "Fuel Pump Ship" toy event, in which a different toy spacecraft is issued each August 10th in honor of the chain's founding. The initial issues represented traditional fueling ships, such as the Starfarer and Hull D, while later issues featured more action-oriented spacecraft, such as a military-style Hornet, presented in Fuel Pump livery. The toys remain a favorite of both children and collectors.
