Cry-Astro is a franchised chain of Human fuel and repair stations with locations across the United Empire of Earth. A recent entrant to the fuel station market, it has gained market share by presenting itself as a cheaper, hands-on alternative to its competitors. Its recent marketing campaign, featuring absurdist humor and purposefully poorly constructed images, has attracted a wave of younger clientele. Cry-Astro stations are also noted for their large selection of food.
