History

Overview

The history of the Libery Revolutionary Front (LRF) starts with the Liberty Worker's Party (LWP), a far left party founded in 805 AS within Liberty's complex republican system. While never attaining any representative seats, they were very much a response to the brutal labor conditions experienced by workers in the Colorado and Texas systems. Especially ones used as prison slave labour, due to the fact that many such people were imprisoned on shaky or false terms. With their political ambitions cut short, many of the LWP started a campaign of civil disobediance, striking out at the corruption of Liberty.

Their main targets were the Big Three corporations whose campaign contributions and outright bribing had bought them many politicians on Manhattan. Through a campain of protests, graffiti, hunger strikes, and access denial, they were able to bring awareness to their cause. However, the response of the Liberty authorities was swift. Many were arrested, countless others fined and effectively the LWP was broke with legal fees. This was alleviated by donations from sympathizers from all over Liberty due to a series of brilliant public speeches by Lachlan Phoenix, a rising star of the organization.

The civil disobedience campaign continued but to not much avail. Many inside the Party, including Lachlan Phoenix began speaking of more impactful protests including sabotage and simulated detention. The leadership of the LWP was wary of the idea as any more LPI responses could very well be the end of the party. In spite of Phoenix's arguments, the LWP decided against the idea and removed him from his position.

It was at this time that a proposal was brought upon the legislative body to strip the LWP of its offical party status, meaning it could no longer legally accept political donations. Through a series of legal loopholes and procedural irregularities, the LWP was cast out of the political system. Lachlan Phoenix seized this opportunity to start a violent campaign of reprisals.

In response, several members led by Phoenix planted bombs at various sites owned by Ageira, Universal Shipping, and Interspace Commerce. The simultaneous blasts were coordinated with an attack on LPI headquarters on Manhattan, leading to the kidnapping of several junior LPI officers. The ransom demands were not met and two days after the deadline the officers were executed. Believing this to be the work of the LWP, the Liberty Authorities quickly declared them an illegal party. Those who weren't arrested joined Phoenix in his campaign.

The Liberty Revolutionary Front was born.

Zone of influence

Liberty Systems

Liberty is the home of the Front, however they are hunted and combat operations are focused directly in these systems, they cannot land on many bases within the house of Liberty, but they tend to find a way to make do with what they have at hand.

They conduct Hit and Fade operations on Liberty Corporation Shipping and Naval forces whenever they can, they also attempt to interdict smuggling operations of Cardamine and Slaves running to and from Liberty space.

Independant Systems

They make berth here in the Independant Systems, mostly in the Zoner Bases and the Unioner bases that are positioned in Bering, they return here after their operations are finished and they require supplies that they cannot take from Liberty Transports.

Not much else is known about their operations here, however Navy suspects that they also prey on Liberty Corporation Shipping here in high amounts, forcing traders to drop their cargo in some attempt to slow down the flow of funds to the Navy and Police Forces that are arrayed against them. Owned bases:

No Bases owned, Pacifica being loaned by the Alster Union for refuelling and resupply in return for assistance in Combating Fascist oppression.
