Battlegroup Harmony - Information Package

Friend of Liberty,

we are glad that we could reach you with this. It is a dark time for Liberty. We that are forced to fight our own brothers and sisters through vile corruption collected this information for you. We understand that what we will tell you now is hard to believe and even more difficult to handle. Because of that we gathered evidence. We risked our lifes to stay alive, for Liberty.

When our leader, Admiral Knight, attempted to investigate suspicious tracks within the Navy she encountered live Nomad corruption. As she got closer to the source she alerted them and soon found herself under attack from the Navy she was loyal to. The Battlegroup she commanded was pressured and would have perished if not for the LSF stepping forward.

The Director at the time made sure the brave men and women of the Battlegroup Harmony wouldn't be lost to the vile forces of the Navy. Mobilising all forces the LSF and remaining Navy loyalists fought a fierce battle within the Navy's most sacred systems. Eventually they couldn't keep the Navy out anymore and while many surrendered or got taken captive, the Battlegroup Harmony together with some of the loyal LSF and Navy forces managed to flee the Navy's grasp and out into the independent worlds and hideouts of Liberty.

Now we want you to see the Navy's true form and will now show you the evidence we promised:

First the message to Liberty from the LSF Director herself, Eva Adenauer:

A Missive to the Population of Liberty

"Abend, men und women of zhe Republic. If Ich may introduce myself, Ich am Eva Karla Adenauer, Executive Director of zhe Liberty Security Force. It ist with a heavy heart and a saddened soul that Ich bear this news. An ancient quote once said "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it," und Ich am afraid zhis is exactly what is transpiring.

At approximately 1800 hours, two days ago, an LSF task force consisting of zhe Carrier "Freedom," Battlecruiser "Sugarloaf Mountain," und zhe Siege Cruiser "Scorpion" attempted to apprehend zhe Battleship "Harmony," under suspicion of possible alien influence among zhe crew. Shortly after zheir arrival und capture of zhe Harmony, however, zhe Dreadnought "Malrone" und Carrier "Nevada" arrived on scene, flanked by numerous Naval auxiliary craft. Despite my insistance that zhe capture of zhe Harmony was strictly under zhe jurisdiction of zhe Security Force, Admiral Reaser und Fleet Admiral Jones refused to relent, und ordered zhhe Harmony to a secure Naval facility. Zhey refused to allow the Security Force access to zhe facility in order to participate in zheir operations, und when Ich insisted, zhey locked weapons on zhe Freedom.

Ich was forced to relent, und released zhe Harmony into zheir custody. Our small task force provided escort, zhough a number of the Navy vessels took flanking positions around our ships. Soon enough, well, listen for yourselves:

We were assaulted, completely und utterly without mercy, by members of zhe Liberty Navy First und Fifth Fleets. All three of our capital-class vessels were severely damaged und left to drift. Zhe wash from the Nevada's engines roasted hull plating und boiled crewmen und women alive, melting the flesh from zheir bones.

In addition, Ich received word less zhan an hour ago that LSF Patrols "Alpha," "Gamma," und "Tau," as well as the gunboats "Mount Sunflower" und "Marble Mountain" were accosted once more by members of zhe Fifth Fleet und secondary auxiliary.

Whilst our vessels had no ill intent, nor did zhey fire on the Naval vessels, zhey were relentlessly attacked by a force of more zhan three Overlord-class Dreadnoughts, an Atlantis-class Assault Carrier, a pair of Archer-class Siege Cruisers, und more zhan a half dozen snubcraft. With a little luck, und much skill, all of our pilots managed to escape, with no losses sustained, to our designated rendezvous point.

Ich can only assume zhat members of the Admiralty have fallen under some foreign influence, as even now zhe Government of Liberty ist taking steps towards martial law, und zhe suppression of President Powell's upcoming election in order for him to maintain control. In addition, audio logs have crossed my desk involving President Powell und zhe desire to maintain a near-constant state of war in Liberty. Zhis can only benefit members of the military industrial complex, corporations like Ageira Technologies, Detroit Munitions, und Deep Space Engineering. Companies zhat line their pockets with the blood of innocents, zhe tears of the mothers und fathers, und zhe hard work of our soldiers on zhe front lines.

Zherefore, Ich ask, no, Ich beg of you, people of Liberty. Join me, join zhe last honest military organization in Liberty! We must fight back against zhe tyranny imposed upon us by zhe Admiralty, zhe Government, und even zhe President himself! Every man, woman, und child can make a difference. Leave your production lines, jettison Naval supplies into space, or reroute zhem to Security Force installations. We cannot do this without you, zhe people, zhe hardworking men und women of Liberty. You have been deceived, mislead, und taken advantage of for far too long.

It ist time to put an end to zhis."

Hochachtungsvoll,
Eva Adenauer, Executive Director, Liberty Security Force.

Now that we removed the doubt about the official nature of our cause we would like to show you the fierceness of the Navy's attacks. They attacked and destroyed our fleeing ships, destroying a Battleship and leaving the crew of it to die. We retrieved who we could but the way the Navy destroyed our ships made it difficult to.

Admiral Knights report

In another incident we moved into the Pennsylvania system where got quickly engaged by Navy vessels. What we did not expect was their open use of Nomads directly.

Thank you for hearing us out. We cannot fight alone.

For Humanity. For Liberty. For Harmony.
