Recently, one of the most well-known Small/Medium armies, the Fire Vikings, announced that they would be ceasing operations, ending their current generation. This comes after a recent war declaration against the Vikings by the Hog Riders, among other incidents.

Flaming Beginnings
The Fire Vikings were founded on November 16, 2024, by Secret Service veteran Yellow Typer. The army saw a max of 11 at their opening event, comprised mostly of former SS members. They placed twelfth in their first Top Ten, signalling a strong, stable start for the army. From here, the army stayed fairly quiet, aside from an alliance with the Templars. Unfortunately for the army, in December, they would merge into the Dark Pirates.
The Vikings made their return in February of the following year, maxing 10 at their reopening. Following this, FV would again remain quiet until they announced an alliance with the Special Weapons and Tactics. In a shocking turn of events, their former allies, TCP, would declare war on them, claiming them to be an illegally revived army. This news came shortly following the departure of one of the Vikings’ leaders, Zuj0t, who would return and retire once again in October. Since then, the army has launched several new alliances, with sides such as the now inactive Thunder Troops and the Romans.

Flames Dying out
Recently, the Vikings celebrated their first anniversary, hosting an event at which they saw a max of 13. Alongside this, the newest formed army, the Hog Riders of Club Penguin, also declared war upon them, signalling stressful times. These unfortunate circumstances, coupled with recent leadership resignations, prompted army founder, Yellow Typer, to announce the closure of the Fire Vikings.

To find out more about the Vikings’ closure, Club Penguin Armies contacted Yellow Typer for an exclusive interview.
What led to the army’s closure?
A little conflict with the leadership + the leadership’s availability and time
Could we potentially see FV return anytime soon?
When the time is right
If FV were to return, would it be under your command, or someone else’s?
Most likely someone else’s command
Any last comments or messages to the community?
Sure! I want to thank everyone who supported FV throughout its journey, the leaders, troops, allies, Veterans, and rivals who pushed us to be better. Even though this second generation is ending, the legacy we built doesn’t disappear. I’m grateful for the memories and the people I met along the way. FV will return when the time is right, but until then, I hope everyone continues to grow, enjoy the community, and make their own impact. Thank you for everything.
Clearly, the Fire Vikings will be sorely missed by the community. One of the foremost new armies has met its demise, but it may return. What do you think the future holds for FV? What will Yellow Typer do next? Can we expect a revival anytime soon?
