Fem-fighters Galatia 9 & Brucilla the Muscle.

Fem-Fighters

Originally verbal shorthand for any active member of The United Federation of Female Freedom Fighters—a union for female mercenary spacers of either the martial or the cargo-carrying sort—the term “Fem-Fighter” has also come to mean any female of destructive, belligerent, quick-tempered or otherwise “uppity” character. For a brief time during Pre-Change AnarchEra, this moniker attached itself exclusively to U4F Captain Galatia 9 and her partner-in-discord Brucilla the Muscle, formerly a Lieutenant in the Amercadian Space Brigade. Between them, this pair of so-called Fem-Fighters breached the hull of Rec Station 97 with a 200 megamilo platinum-bearing asteroid, caused the bottom to drop out of the Station’s platinum market, destroyed a large section of posh Blue Heaven Level with a shooting exposition designed to fleece gold-holders, participated in a gunfight in which real bullets were involved, instigated a riot by pitting their fans against the Station Rec Pols, destroyed a Station blast tube by deploying Acme-Ashmun force shields before exiting the tube, caused general mayhem resulting in several deaths by engaging in a melee with a battle formation of Brigade Tigers (though this last was later adjudicated and the Brigade found to have been at fault), and left unpaid bar bills at numerous establishments throughout the Vale of Tiers.
