Liberty and Nomad Backstory

[Klaw117]

I was on Lancers Reactor today and found these two sites that someone posted. They're about Liberty and the Nomads and were actually written by one of the workers at Digital Anvil, so the info is really accurate. It's really interesting, I highly suggest you read it.

Liberty Backstory
Nomad Backstory

He also talks about what he wrote here:

7 Crows: Freelancer Backstories

---

Carlos Rivera: Corsair Brotherhood Pirate - Retired, shifted to Tripoli Shipyard's Research and Development engineering teams
Anthony Cameron: Guild Core Bounty Hunter - Killed in Action, committed suicide after being trapped in Omicron Minor following its destruction
Juan Ruiz: Outcast Ghost of Razgriz Pirate - Killed in Action, killed by the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army during Bretonian piracy raid
Michael Winchester: Liberty Security Force Agent - Missing in Action, likely killed during Rheinland espionage mission or trapped in Rheinland Space
Eric McCormick: Order Pilot - Retired, shifted to planetside training of new recruits

Liberty and Nomad Backstory, Very interesting - read it!

That is fascinating.. fits in with my own theories that the Daam K'Vosh ran their civilization primarily through aural glyphs and that they were at one time at war with another civilization, especially in relation to what I can now call the Slomon-K'Hara.

It makes me wonder, if we opened the gate in the SP....why are artifacts still contraband?

Weehee! A cool, alien name for the Nomads! I do wonder about the Liberty one, though. Why is it, then that the Order is considered a terrorist organization, and stole a ship from Liberty (Osiris) if they were part of the government?

Orillion founded the Order after discovering his commander on the experimental Juneau-developed ship later known as the Osiris was infested, and founded the Order. I'm personally of the opinion the lone Alliance officer who fled Sol died along the way, since there is absolutely no way (unless human lifespans rival Yodas in FL, though I do think they would be around 120) he could have survived the journey.

It amazes me that people still see a connection between the old opening for Freelancer, and the current story. How is it, that if you watch the extended version, you see the same ship that was supposed to warn us of the nomads, actually land on a planet, and yet we knew nothing of them?

While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack

Because the developers state on the bonus material DVD that the extended intro is canonical. I don't recall seeing the ship actually landing in the intro. It's more likely it was destroyed by a deep space Nomad relay or some natural event, or that the pilot died of old age.

That, I think, was not really a great idea- you know how when you make something really awesome, you want to glue it to everything you possibly can? No matter whether or not its actually a good idea? Kind of like that. The extended intro doesn't fit with anything other than the extended intro (read the background story, Nomads don't wake up till we wake 'em up, and they aren't as advanced as us- supported by in-game rumors and plot, I might add).

That doesn't make this source material any less awesome.

YEEHAW!!!



EDIT: Another possibility is that, a person no one ever saw before, landing in an old ship and claiming there were aliens that knocked the sun just *might* not be taken seriously, or possibly as a spy. He'd have likely been interrogated by the people working on Valhalla 1, but otherwise hushed up.
