I beleve that Mark Sandlin coined the term. You were correct in your
assumption. It seems the best way to keep the fleebnorks are bay and from
getting into the exaust ducts is to burn them out with a plasma torch.
Traditionally this is reserved for the lowest of the lowest ranks, or for
grand admrials that have been temporarily demoted to first luetenant,
fleebnork division. In my case, this heavy freighter has both military
convoy and cunsumer trade purposes, and so an automated version is necessary
due to the automated nature of the ship as a whole (few crew dudes).
