It all began aeons ago, when man's ancestors picked up a shard of a strange white cheese...
Its power, which was beyond human comprehension, cultivated dreams...
In turn, love and hate were born...
Only time will see how it all ends.

It has to do with time dilation, alternate universes, a great galactic struggle between two giant cows and the cheese armies they led - and the woman who fed them lots & lots of chocolate.

SW's cheese obsession is kind of like God... it's just always been there. No one really knows its origins.

My good man, truly, it is a good day now that you have asked this question! Aren't you lucky?
Let me tell you a little story, one passed down by all of the generations of Super Women before, and hopefully by generations after me.
The K'Luth were terrorizing the MV! UGTO was using cunning tactics, letting the aliens push their way all the way to the gates of Sol before fighting back. And the ICC was a ragtag bunch of pilots, still trying to find themselves.
This long ago, things were different. Your admins? They played! Fleets needed 20 members for a fleet forum. And the Spooning Wookies fleet forum was unlocked, a place for random posting for the entire DarkSpace community. One of the first posts in our forums is about Starfleet getting his Assault Dread. Hell, even g0ds s0ldier posted there.
Now where was I? It all began on a day like any other: Griller was leading fleets of eager and willing ICC pilots into the sun, Juxtapose was teaching the lobby about tounge typing, and Azure was, well, still a faithful S.W pilot. The sun was shining...or was it raining? Well, no one really knows, as they hadn't been outside for many days up to that point. That's not important though...
Ummm...Oh yeah, cheese...mmm, cheeese...
Ok, so anyways, the faithful S.W founding fathers were in need of a motto...What to use? The founding fathers put all of their favorite things into a random motto generator, and the things that came out were, well...they just weren't right. They'd make a sailor curse, and had nuns everywhere praying for my less than normal predecessors. What was something so soft, cuddly and polictcally correct that it wouldn't offend?
Puppies.
Hell no.
Looking through the few fleet pages of the day, the founders noticed something odd: most of the Agents fleet was from Wisconsin, the land of...cheese (and other assorted dairy products). Stealing a page from the book of researchers ever, the founders stole someone elses idea and made it better, more recognizable: their own.
And that, kiddies, is the true story of something not quite true. And Dangerbabe, that's me in my sig; a 4 foot tall midget.
Bito

Problem is, you can't see bito because Nub swallowed him during that fateful day when Bito accidently dressed up in a cheddar-yellow jumpsuit...

Somewhat long... And pointless...
The origons of cheese...
The origon of the S.W. cheese fetish is not well known, but it has existed for some time. It origions can be traced back to the far, far past, when some one discovered that really old milk produced something quite solid and edible. Naming it after himself, Earl Cheeseits, he called it cheese. Some say that he discovered it after leaveing the milk in his celler for too long. It was barried in the back, kinda like what happens with modern day refrigerators. You know, that ONE milk jug who's expirey date was about 4 or 5 years ago, thats sitting in the way back and its only indication is the stench it produces. How the Earl of Cheeseits could miss such a smell is unknown, but some theorize he either had or lacked deodorent that generated a smell that was quite strong. Another theory, quite obvious one, is that he was smell impared. However, these theorys can not be proven, as he spent all day in his celler, and had little to no human contact. Much like our modern day AdmBito, or the ancient and now gone Nimby. Or, the most obvious one, the current, popular... Demorian!
More recently, the first founders of the S.W clan where born.
Originally a UGTO fleet that rarely listened to ANYONE in authority, they where often found doing whatever the hell they felt like. Known more commonly as "Privatieers" they looted pirates and annoyed citizens all over the empire with their buffonery. They noticed, about 20 years later, that EVERY fleet had its central theme. For example, the newly formed GTN was bound by honor, their central Theme. Whereas Evil, who entered the scene later with the discovery of the K'Luth had the theme of being... well... Evil.
However, the process of adaptation of cheese being the central theme has long since been lost in a rather short raid by, you guessed it, the K'Luth, and since nobody really cared, no one bothered to try to remember. The prevailing theory is it was adapted when the crew of the S.W. Flagship, the Cheesy Voyage, started to sing the "Ode to Cheesy Cheese" song, that it finally dawned on the commander of all SW, that the CHEESE would be their theme. Thus, he quickly told everybody. Shortly thereafter, the fleet known as S.W. disappeared from UGTO space, to be discovered several years later as part of the fairly newly formed ICC... Interstellar cultural confederation.
From this point onward, their cheesy attitude and their obsession with cheese would annoy the main (and quite serious) UGTO Fleet, the Galactic Navy, to no end. Their contiuned efforts to blow the UGTO to smitherenes is said to have driven them to new mental hights, and it is here that the cheese fanaticness turely took place. For, from their new quite odd frame of mind, cheese became the center of their culture, and ultimately their religion.
It is now to the point where Cheese is found on every S.W. ship. Assorted cheeses are the centerpiece of any meal at any time of day, and the captains usually keep many pictures of cheese in their cabins, as do the crew. Cheese is also used in their religious ceremonies, where it is worshiped like a god. They treat cheese with all their normal jest, but, enemies of the cheese beware, they will deal much death to anyone that threatens their cheesy lifestyle.
From the Earl of Cheesit to some captain (which some believe to be quite insane, also AdmBito), the Cheese has grown to be the most important thing in S.W. Life. Not a single post to be found in their forums that dosn't mention cheese somewhere, whether it be in the post itself, or the signature. The cheese is life. The cheese is god. The cheese is forever!
ALL HAIL THE CHEESE!

Cheese is indeed an integral part of all S.W.
