Liberty Revolutionary Front - Tabris - 02-18-2016 The Liberty Revolutionary Front ![]() Naming Convention/IFF/ID LRF|firstname.lastname (fighter/bomber) LRF|RCS-shipname (Freighter/Transport) LRF|RS-shipname (Gunboat/gunship) IFF: Freelancer ID: Pirate ID History Before the Front there was the Liberty Workers Party. The party was formed out of a core of concerned labor union leading figures in an attempt to represent Liberty blue-collar workers within the government process. It comprised of the leaders of the Liberty Shipyard Workers Union, the Colorado Miners Union and the Detroit Munitions Laborers Union, and put forward candidates for the House of Representatives. They were received initially by their targeted base warmly, but many were pessimistic about their chances of success. While never attaining any representative seats, they were very much a response to the poor labor conditions experienced by workers in the Colorado and Texas systems. Their platform focused extensively on the outsourcing of work and the use of prison labor. On the latter they were particularly vocal, abhorring the use of prisoners for work that should rightfully be done by Liberty laborers. With their political ambitions cut short, many of the LWP started a campaign of civil disobedience, 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 campaign 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 violent 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 official 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 Technologies, 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 were not arrested joined Phoenix in his campaign against the Government and it's armed forces. The Liberty Revolutionary Front was born. -Expanded History found on Wiki- Operations Terrorism * Destruction of Governmental Property (Depots, disruption of trade-lanes etc etc.) Disruption of Operations * Pilots would interdict shipping to and from Libertonian Space, demanding the transports drop their cargo or be destroyed. * Intercepting vital supplies to Liberty Authority bases to starve the enemy of resources. * Acquire funds from Corporate Shippers to both fuel the Front and starve the enemy of funding.
