Tag: H|- ID: Battlegroup Harmony IFF: Separatist Technology: Liberty Lawful Shipline and Liberty Lawful, Civilian and Codename guns
Background
In 800 A.S. the Battleship Harmony was deployed to defend Research Station Willard and was then severely damaged by an attacking Rheinland Military force. Severely damaged, the ship was repaired back to a flyable state on the spot and was then hauled to Norfolk Shipyard to be repaired fully. Due to the Nomad War, these repairs hadn't been finished until late 802 A.S. After that it was reassigned to combat and was retrofitted several times.
In 822 A.S. secondary fleet assets were reorganized and with the promotion of Victoria Knight to Rear Admiral she was transfered to command the Battleship Harmony. Soon the restructuring was complete and the Harmony received its remaining Battlegroup. Along with the capital ship vessels, most fighter wings were completely newly structured and some squads saw their comrades for the first time when the Battlegroup went into service.
First, the Harmony was assigned to the Manhattan defense grid during the Scylla raids and soon after the nomad incident in late 822 A.S. . The Battlegroup had been requested by the LSF for a greater, classified, operations. Since then, the worth of the Battlegroup was to be proven outside of the regular Manhattan patrols and was assigned to other Navy objectives.
In the middle of 823 A.S. Battlegroup Harmony was attacked by Liberty Navy forces under accusations of harbouring Nomad infectees. The flagship, Harmony, had been crippled and Rear Admiral Victoria Knight captured and placed under observation on Juneau Shipyard in Alaska. The rest of the battlegroup joined forces with the Liberty Security Force, who sided with them against the Liberty Navy accusers. The result was a standoff between the LN and Seperatist forces, where the LSF and the remnants of the battlegroup were blockaded and contained in the Alaska system beyond Zone 21.
The LSF and remnants of the battlegroup fought for survival, making strikes against the oppressing Navy and Libertonian government, which was thought as compromised by Nomad influence. For brief periods of time, they allowed smugglers that supported their cause to make supply runs towards Alaska to avoid them from starving out, but the supply lines frequently collapsed just days later. During daring missions, the battlegroup managed to retrieve Rear Admiral Victoria Knight and other captured supporters back into their ranks, restoring proper hierarchy.
In late 823 A.S. the situation in Alaska grew grim. Supply stockpiles were quickly disappearing, and the Navy seemed to become more and more impatient as time went by in the monochrome system. With an information leak that the Navy were plotting a final invasion into the strongholds in Alaska, Battlegroup Harmony, fueled with desperation, staged a pre-emptive assault on Juneau Shipyard to retrieve the flagship dreadnought and escape the system. With the help of the Lane Hackers, the operation was successful, but at the cost of nearly half the battlegroup.
With heavy hearts, they now seek a way to restore themselves to functioning order and find organizations that would help them rid of the Nomadic influence that plagues Liberty.
Since then, the Battlegroup has further solidified its alliance with both the Lane Hackers and the Unioners. Strikes against the Navy have been executed with success, earning them the attention of foreign forces and possible allies and support even beyond Liberty's underworld. If the Battlegroup will survive in their guerilla war against the Navy will show itself in the future. If further support lines cannot be built up and maintained the Battlegroup will fall.
Diplomacy
Lane Hackers ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
- Assisting us in times of need, ensuring survival of the Battlegroup.
- Their intel and knowledge has proven more than useful.
- Further operations have shown them to be our most valuable ally within Liberty at this point.
Unioners ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
- Despite their uncertain intentions, they fought with us against the Navy.
- Further opperations have proven the worth of this alliance, despite the Battlegroup not agreeing to all their actions;
sacrifices must be made.
BDM ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
- The BDM contacted us to offer assistance for help in return. They see benefit in us disrupting Liberty.
- Supply deliveries and funding ensured.
FL-ER ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
- Providing assistance with little demand for repayment, trustworthy so far.
Gaians ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
- Positive approach.
- Planned supply and combat operations
Junkers ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

LSF ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
- While the LSF stood with us, there's many non supportive groups and the LSF had to undergo a leadership change.
- This change caused the LSF to now treat us as hostiles, attacking the Battlegroup directly
Liberty Navy ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
- Lost to the nomad influence. Individuals may be treated differently.
Recruitment
With the loss of the support of the Navy, Battlegroup Harmony is now entirely on its own. Currently, the only known way to join the battlegroup would be to contact them directly or speak with their representatives in space. - Inrp - Forum and ingame recruitment preferred.
The Battlegroup also recruits people within its own area, trying to draw capable, passive people into active service. - Recruitment Office
Battlegroup Harmony are a now exiled Navy battlegroup that, together with LSF forces, were involved in a conflict with the Liberty Navy in the middle of 823 A.S. Both sides were claiming nomad infection of the opposing forces. The Navy's advantage in numbers eventually lead to Harmony forces breaking up and most LSF forces surrendering. The remainders of the Battlegroup are now leading a guerilla war against the Navy with most of their support coming from the Lane Hackers and the Unioners.
The pilot carrying this quasi-lawful ID is a member of the Battlegroup Harmony who:
- Can attack any ships within their Zone of Influence, except transports.
- Can engage any ships in self-defense or in defence of another Separatist or allied ship.
- Can treat transports carrying Alien Artifacts, Azurite Gas, Nomad Equipment and Nomad Remains as combat targets.
- Can engage Liberty Navy anywhere.
- Can engage LSF in Rheinland.
- Cannot ally with Liberty Lawfuls.
- Cannot use any transports with more than 4,300 cargo.
"Very restricted ZOI guaranteeing that main operations will be in Liberty as the factions goal lie here. Now the bounties are ZOI restricted to not make this another sirius wide faction doing everything they want. They of course will destroy nomad related things when they aren't safely transported. The reason they cannot attack LSF sirius wide is to again not give the idea we'd go out of our way to hunt LSF. The main goal is still the Navy. The capital vessels are inrp restricted with no freely available battleships and a low number of cruisers."

With ships breaking down and most recruits not bringing their own Navy class vessels we will have to restock. The Lane Hackers are our biggest allies and use Liberty made tech fitting us. The 75% on the other ships is so people can play these vessels in an rp environment without being fully useless so they can srp them."

The Liberty Separatists formed in a war between the Navy and one of their Battlegroups, backed by the LSF. As this war was being lost, the remaining forces retreated into Liberty's border systems. Their main force is the Battlegroup Harmony but other remaining Navy and LSF elements work together with them. They receive support from the Lane Hackers and the Unioners and other sources from outside of Liberty.

It's more of like the "opposite". Where the Hellfire Legion is doing this kind of hypocrital thing where they want to protect Liberty people and then uh found their own nation... somehow.
We try to play out the difficulties of being "thrown out", missing Navy supply lines and support. So resorting to less glamorous acts like piracy and working with other criminals.
Cap ships are low on numbers too, like massively so. But I guess in the end it is similar of course since the basic idea is the same but the outcome is massively different.

Seconded. Roleplay and gameplay has been exemplar. They are distinct from the Hellfire Legion in that they're a result of nomad incursions into the Liberty Navy and LSF, rather than a rapper named Drake deciding he wanted to stick it to the man. They're similar to the role Marcus Walker and King played before they joined the Order in Vanilla.
