 Before ''Hatchling'' released the first [[Hatchling BoyRacer1|BoyRacer1]], the characteristics of traffic near hi-tech system stations were quite different, as veteran pilots will fondly recall.  Hatchling calculated from the very beginning that there was a hungry market for small, fast, luxury vessels, and the target customers reacted exactly as hoped.

Far too expensive, colourful and useless for anyone with the need to make their livelihood in space, the BoyRacers are the favourite ships of bored, hideously wealthy youths.
 Although they are quite fast and steer reasonably well, the Hatchling models all share a common trait in their vulnerable hull, which makes them an unlikely choice of vessel for anyone with serious space combat on the agenda.  Nevertheless, as is often seen, young, unscrupulous and thoughtless pilots with too much time and money, have a tendency to stir up trouble.

-Prior to unveiling the [[Hatchling Boyracer3|BoyRacer3]], Hatchling chairman ''Ludo Van Der Budenmayer'' did little to dispel rumours that the BoyRacers would make a conservative shift in the direction of business travel and the courier market, only to present a BoyRacer with enhancements based entirely on suggestions made by their loyal fan cult.  Although there is pressure on the company to condemn typical BoyRacer behaviour, Van Der Budenmayer often speaks up in their defence, and although no longer a youth, he is himself said to frequently fly about in BoyRacers while acting as obnoxious as any rich punk. Little is known about the [[Hatchling BoyRacer3|BoyRacer2]].

 Although unconfirmed by any evidence, there is cause to believe the story of ''Burle Pfaff'', said to have been pushed too far by a BoyRacer gang calling themselves "The Zips". A seasoned trader in his autumn years, Pfaff was forced to draw upon 40 years of space experience, in order to survive an encounter with the dreaded gang by the skin of his prosthetic teeth.  When he, and his beloved Wolf Mk II, eventually recovered, he made it his mission in life to seek satisfactory retribution.  It is rumoured it took him 7 years to hunt down and kill every one involved in the offending incident, many of whom had since matured and moved on to more responsible roles in society, and never saw the payback coming.
-Famously, he was himself killed while executing Biff Reese, the last surviving member and the leader of the gang.  Having successfully ambushed the unrepentant young man who had long since put his BoyRacing past behind him, and caught his ship firmly in an unescapable clamp-lock, Pfaff went on to remind Reese of his past crime, before activating a [[Q bomb]] that would see them both dead.  Reese made a run for it in his escape pod, but never came close to escaping the blast.
