The Goblin Rocketeers is a racing team from an unknown plane that competes in the Ghirapur Grand Prix.[1] It is made up from the the most clever and daring Goblins.[2]

Description[]

The goblins of the Rocketeers emerged on Avishkar from an unknown plane only briefly connected to Avishkar via an instanced Omenpath.[1] Redshift, the current co-captain of the Rocketeers, believes that he and his crew didn't simply tumble out of a lucky Omenpath but accomplished their launch mission: to break through the velocity limit that holds the BOOSTGOD back from the Multiverse. Their launch was a success, and the rockets that drove them into the skies of their homeworld and beyond were the strongest ever created by goblinkind. This was a tremendously risky endeavor, not because of the rockets they flew upon but because of the velocity limit imposed upon their plane by the BOOSTGOD's mortal enemy, the dead-stop deity whose name cannot be uttered. Redshift and his crew defied death and instead pierced the cruel, invisible wall of the velocity limit, traveling through a momentary Omenpath to arrive on Avishkar.

Initially lost and confused by the chaos of Ghirapur, Redshift and his Rocketeers found community among the racers and gearheads orbiting the Ghirapur Grand Prix.[1] There was something familiar to them: worship of the BOOSTGOD, even if the other racers did not know his name and a plentiful fuel supply. They abandoned their initial mission of exploration beyond the velocity limit. They mounted a new campaign funded in large part by their adoptive benefactor and co-captain, Daretti, to win the Grand Prix.

Vehicles[]

Rocketeer vehicles are outfitted with twelve-chamber engines for even the smallest ride, custom pictograph control schemes, and no less than twenty payloads of cherry bombs for each goblin.[3] Daretti himself piloted an all-terrain tank.
