History

When the sleeper ship Liberty made planetfall on what would come to be known as Planet Manhattan, no one was entirely sure what came next. To ensure the stability of their new society, the Libertonians, as they would come to be called, instituted a military government which reigned over the fledgling colonial nation for twelve years of great progress. In 48 AS, the democratic government mandated the creation of the Liberty Space Exploration Council to oversee civilian space navigation; the same act which created the LSEC also extended the faculties of the Department of Transportation to include the regulation of Manhattan's aerospace and low orbit.

As Liberty grew and became more prosperous, and academia reestablished itself as a respectable part of society, the study of by-now ancient history flourished, and old traditions were revived. An important part of this was the reintroduction of numerous civilian agencies of government, and in 534 AS the Civil Air Patrol was federally chartered as an independent civilian auxiliary to planetside police forces. In 822 AS, with the Gallic war increasing in its urgency and intensity, the Civil Space Patrol was similarly chartered as an auxiliary to the Liberty Navy and the LPI.

Faction Concept

Basically we just wanted a laid-back faction that could perform the role of peacekeepers as well as civilians freely within Liberty while also being able to cater to a wide array of characters. The CSP is where the undisciplined children of well-to-do good ol' boys, high-school dropouts whose lives lack direction, would-be armchair generals, retired Naval officers who're too old to serve but not ready to put away the uniform, and that guy in your class who played tactical Airsoft and was always a little too serious all come together to create, hopefully, a fun addition to the roleplay environment of Discovery. We're weekend warriors, here to do what we can for Liberty, but nothing too dangerous!

The CSP isn't intended to be a super-serious group, nor to be anybody's "main". If you sometimes just wanna fly in Liberty with a couple good wingmates at your back, but don't necessarily want to dedicate hours and hours to an intricately-detailed backstory or the obligations that come with joining an official faction like the [LN] or the LPI-, then the CSP might be what you're after.
