History
The Sidewinder Fang Movement’s great and perilous quest began in the year 2800, with a simple act. The great and benevolent founding father Trent did walk into a bar and request a drink, hoping to quench his worries in the bottom of a glass. Lo, was he served Liberty Ale, a new and ubiquitous spirit, and Trent did partake of the spirit, in the hopes of pleasant taste. Trent’s dissatisfaction, however, was soon made manifest, for manufactured from burnt fusion fuel was this so-called ale of Liberty, and unfavorably did its flavour compare with recycled effluent water. And thus wrote the great Trent:
“The bartender served me a Liberty Ale — definitely the only one I’ll ever drink.”
Thus it was Written, and so it was. The Great Trent did set out on a quest of great importance for his time, and as he did so, search for the greatest of fermented beverages- the legendary Sidewinder Fang- did he. To many spacers Trent did speak of the legendary drink, and many did he ask where to find one, but to no avail, for only the greatest of Bretonian bartenders can mix such a drink, and such individuals Trent could not find. Never did he partake of the foul Liberty Ale, and never did he find the Fang. And Lo, did the great Trent disappear into the depths of space, forever in search of his goal. The spacers he spoke to soon themselves became dissatisfied, and they did search to the edges of space for Trent, his ship and the possibility of a decent drink. No trace did they find but an ancient artifact, marked in the hand of the great Trent, that told them of a place called Sirius, and the possibility of a decent drink there. Many years did they wait for their friend, and never did he appear. Some lost faith, but others reasoned that they must keep searching, for if the great Trent did indeed find the Sidewinder Fang, then surely he would never leave the place where it could be obtained.
Thus it was, and thus it is.
To this day, the Sidewinder Fang Movement seeks the legend of the Fang, and safeguards the secrets that might lead to its discovery. To that end, we explore, trade, and call apon one another in our search. If there is one thing the galaxy is missing, its a decent drink.
The Great Trent will show us the way.
