- This is a player faction. For the affiliated NPC faction, see Liberty Security Force
The Liberty Security Force (=LSF=) is the intelligence branch of the Democratic Republic of Liberty. Formed in 528 A.S. by the Order of Cinncinatus the goal of the Liberty Security Force was that of a dedicated intelligence agency. After the Nomad War of 800 A.S.-801 A.S., as well as the complete infection of the Order of Cinncinatus as well as the almost complete takeover of Liberty herself, the organisation reformed, introducing many anti-nomad procedures which helped to purge infected agents from their ranks. The Liberty Security Force's main objective is to ensure the safety and security of their parent house, Liberty. Agents often operate in complete secrecy, gathering data from around Sirius to ensure the free flow of goods and people into and out of Liberty.
Mission Statement
To accomplish what others cannot and go where others cannot. The Liberty Security Force carry out their mission by:
- Providing timely analysis that provides insight, warning and opportunity to the President and decision-makers charged with protecting and advancing Liberty's interests.
- Taking covert or overt actions with or without the direction of the President to pre-empt threats to or achieve Liberty's policy objectives.
- Carrying out their mission by gathering information that reveals the plans, intentions and capabilities of their adversaries and provides the basis for decisive action.
Brief History
- The Order of Ciccinatus creates the LSF in 528 AS to watch over Liberties interests in Sirius.
- In 800 AS, Freeport 7 is attacked, the infected LSF blames the Order to try and further their goals in taking over Liberty. The Nomad War begins. LSF agent Jun'ko Zane and Freelancer Edison Trent aid the Order and defeat the Nomad threat. Infected members of the LSF are hunted down and eliminated.
- 811 AS, Relations between the Order and the LSF are at breaking point over the theft of the Osiris schematics, a phoney war ensues. Brian Copeland is appointed Director of the LSF. New command structure in place.
- 817 AS, Copeland retires and Powell appoints David Copperfield as Director. Further mistrust of the Order leads to recon missions into their space. Diplomatic relations with Rheinland break down completely, war is declared. LSF send in scout ships to investigate fleet strengths and weaknesses.
High Command
This system was introduced under former Director Brian Copeland. It is comprised of 3 members, the Director, Deputy Director and the Associate Deputy Director. It is as follows:
- The Director serves as the head of the Liberty Security Force and is nominated by the President. The Director manages the operations, personnel and budget of the LSF.
- The Deputy Director assists the Director in his duties as head of the LSF and exercises the powers of the Director when the Director’s position is vacant or in the Director’s absence or disability.
- The Associate Deputy Director of the Liberty Security Force, is responsible for managing the LSF on a day-to-day basis. In the absence of the Director and/or Deputy Director, the Associate Deputy Director takes command of the Liberty Security Force. They are also the main spokesperson for the agency.
Very little is known about David Copperfield's existence prior to the Nomad War. What is know is that he enlisted himself as a Navy pilot in it's aftermath and served under the 425th tactical fighter squadron for 8 years before joining the Liberty Security Force under the Copeland administration, eventually becoming the Director following Copeland's retirement.
David Copperfield's right hand man is Deputy Director Christian Deus, however, he is more of a hands-on fighter pilot and does not get involved much in the politics of Liberty.
Julia Wolfe was appointed as the Associate Deputy Director following the retirement of Deputy Director Brian Carpenter. Julia is very influential and Copperfield regards her highly. She is considered the "voice of the LSF".
Homeland Security
The Department of homeland security (DHS) was created shortly after the nomad war, to strengthen up security and maintain and evaluate information on all internal threats within Liberty.
Special Operations Division
The Special Operations Division (SO), is responsible for all Covert operations, including, but not limited to, intelligence gathering, deep space reconnaissance, wet-works and undisclosed operations outside of Liberty. It is their duty to handle any situation that threatens the security of Liberty before the safety of Liberty is compromised.
Research and Development
The Department of Research and Development (R&D) develops and researches advanced technology for the military machine that is Liberty. All development is highly classified, but some of R&D's projects can be seen throughout Liberty, such as the Avenger fighter craft.
Internal Affairs
The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) is the newest department on the scene, coming into existence in mid 817 AS. It came into existence after the Brezinsky scandal, where Rheinland assets were running a defector inside the Liberty Security Force. Needless to say, the governmental department responsible for finding leaks inside any of the lawful agencies was found to be incompetent and consequentially disbanded. The LSF then took over it's own internal affair management. The DIA acts as an over-watch over all Liberty Security Force agents, with two main priorities, ensuring that all other departments and it's respective agents are not compromised, and secondly, make sure it, as a department is not infiltrated.
Rumours
There are many rumours surrounding the LSF, the high command and many of their operatives.
- One such rumour is the existence of a research station deep within uncharted territory that conducts highly classified testing on Nomad technologies.
- Another, is the past of Director Copperfield. Prior to his enlisting in the Navy, he appears to be a ghost with nothing on file with regard to his past. All attempts to gain information on him have drawn a blank. It is rumoured that he was involved in organized crime, but these rumour are unsubstantiated.
- Julia Wolfe has been spotted many times deep within uncharted space. The gossip of many is that she is either a double agent for the Order, or has been infected by the Wild or the Nomads. Liberty officials have dismissed this as Order propaganda, in an attempt to discredit Wolfe.
- Current Supervisory Agent Edwards allegedly took part in an illegal interrogation of Order Admiral Mirage Bre'Delakorsa, which involved torture. After her escape, Edwards paranoid of a possible assassination attempt by her, made him focus too much on diverting valuable resources on strikes against Order.
Diplomacy
After an agreement with Fleet Admiral Hale of the Liberty Navy, Director Copperfield was able to appoint a Navy Dreadnought, the Tyrannical, to serve temporarily under LSF command for a period of 3 months. The contract terms can be re-evaluated at any time to extend the appointment period. The LSF and the Navy don't always see eye to eye but, they always manage to work together insuring the continued stability within Liberty.
Working with Liberty Police Incorporated
The LSF regards the role of the LPI very highly as without them, their job would be very difficult. They work together insuring pirates, smugglers and any would-be lawbreaker or terrorist are dealt with harshly and prompt. The LSF occasionally patrol with the LPI and feed on-the-spot intel on possible smugglers and pirate activity. Their joint force are very efficient in keeping Liberty safe.
