So if I didn’t count wrong, then Stakar’s team as we know it from GotG 2 consists of six people: Stakar, Aleta, Mainframe, Martinex, Charlie-27 and Krrugarr.
And while doing some research for my fanfictions, I realized that, while the Ravager Captains act independent from each other, each with their own crew (which, apparently, all have a different color – Stakar is some kind of dark blue, Aleta black, Yondu is red), they all share the flame badge.
And there are seven tips on the badge. Exactly seven tongues of flames, one in the middle, three on each side.
That makes seven flames for seven Captains.
I dunno, but I really like to headcanon this: The flames represent Stakar’s original team, the core of the Ravagers. The badge was made when Yondu was still part of the team.
He is flame number seven.
And even with Yondu out of the team, after breaking the code – Stakar never changed the design.
And Yondu had one more very good reason to keep the badge, even though he was no longer an official Ravager.
Because it reminded him of his old team, the people he had lost by breaking the code.
