You are not going to get far without fuel. The pump station is the staple of every army. Used to distribute fuel and coolant to units as they prepare for battle, the pump station is a common target in today’s campaigns. No air or aerospace field is complete without one.
The pump station is a valuable target for pirates and mercenaries. These groups not commonly welcome from the standard vendors, they prefer to swoop in and just take what they need or want.
As with other targets, the pump station is valuable and dangerous. Depending on what is stored at the facility, ignition of the contents can do as much damage to the attackers as to the defenders.
