Palunk

Palunk is a type of philosophy that flourishes in recent years in the Extractors culture. Palunk is best known for the delicate art of ship ramming which by nature is extremely dangerous, but also is a culinary technique. The ideas of creativity and scavenger mentality is at the heart of these beliefs.  

Ship Ramming

 

History

During the early attacks of the Qiuva, the Extractors had found ways of sending asteroids at their robotic control centers. While a good method, the Qiuva adapted and created asteroid defense towers. Again, the Extractors were in a dilemma, they need a way to attack them. As such they developed shield asteroids. This worked for a time, before an ion cannon would be created to disable the shields. Now they have built ships that can be controlled directly or even remotely. At anytime and anywhere, a simple trade ship could be a deadly weapon. A military vessel could turn against them in a blink of an eye. This technique has been banned in Fexians space due to the terror it can cause, but they do not enforce it since the Extractors have only targeted their enemy.  

Execution:

  It is simple to execute. When the time is right to attack their enemies, they begin evacuation of the ship. When they are ready to disembark a single is sent to another Extractor for pickup and a small ritual to the Butterfly is conducted. Afterwards the ship is sent at the enemy.  

Culinary Practice:

  When making food, tossing in ingredients at random. When ingredients are limited, you can only work with what you have, so creatively is prized. To Palunk in cooking, is to experiment and brunt force the desired result. While not very effective, but can be really cost effective for what is desired.
