Also known as Filkers or Dandelions

A mutual-aid group for Fandom’s wandering troubadors. Officially, their political influence is "Non-existent," but they can make or ruin reputations if they see the need and work together.

The Filkers have a space-port-sized habitat in the L5 zone, which they use as a “Bardic College.” Early rumours held that this habitat would be named Argo solely so that the Federation could be banned from it; however, they announced the station's name as Space Station Three when it was opened.[1]

Notes

  1. Presumably they wanted the free fruit.
