OK....time for my 3 cents worth(inflation.....).Z21 and Alaska...authorized access based on rank and a need to knowbasis.Period.Just because I was in the Navy,with a military ID (real life) ,I would still get thrown into the brig or even killed trying to gain access to certain bases,ships,subs,etc.....that I was not authorized or granted access to...no matter HOW much I whined" but I'm in the military and have a military ID"...that would only get me into sooo much trouble that I wouldn't see the light of day for many, MANY years,cause the guards would be thinking "intruder,spy,sabatoure,terrorist,etc....not looking like a pretty picture so far? So....IF you want access to z21/Alaska...join the LSF/LN...work your way through the ranks,gain the trust and respect of your superiors, and maybe...just maybe, someday...they will let you in on the big secret.Maybe...there are no certainties about gaining such information,that is up to the Powers that be......and for the BHG there...from minor only....the Alaska Jumpgate is not a freakin revolving door for everybody and their cousins to go through "because i want to..." or any other lame excuse.
Now, if you'll excuse me,I have to go explain to some oorp trader why he shouldn't be in Alaska with his load of artifacts( or target practice as the navy calls it).
I think LSF should be in Alaska, and Navy should only be around prison stations.
Also, someone mentioned LSF as CIA.. Well then, shouldn't they be busy with foreign stuff?
CIA has no jurisdiction in USA, only outside of it.
I know, this was brought up a million times, but still it doesn't make sense.
I think LSF should have very different goals from those of the SA (Navy).
I also think that Rheinland - Liberty war would allow that.
LSF should RP some things in Rheinland, like sending their agents to Red Hessians and Bundies to train them, or selling them their technology.
Anything would do.

Far as I am concerned Alaska is a joint Navy and LSF operation. Both with the prisons there, research on Nomad technology, and security against Nomad and Order incursion. The task is split pretty evenly in my eyes. If only the highest ranking members of the Navy and LSF are allowed in Alaskathat would mean only 4-6 players on the entire server are ever allowed to be there. Which to me is just plain silly.

To understand the LSF you should research the CIA and their Special Activities Division, the FBI, the NSA, & DARPA for a start. The LSF embodies most of those agencies in addition to many more.
Keep in mind that there are only 3 Liberty Government factions in Discovery. So every real life government agency needs to be placed in one of them at the very least. I personally feel the LPI should handle a good portion of the situations the FBI would handle. However, in SP it does show that the LSF acts as internal law enforcement at times. However, to compare one of the 3 factions to only one other real life organization will just not cut it as a comparison.

We do have very different goals. However, we also share some of the same exact goals. Even if the LN, LSF, and LPI combined into one mass faction to handle everything in Liberty.we still would not be able to handle it all.

We have Agents in Rheinland. We have Agents in Omicron Alpha. We have Agents in Omicron Minor. We have numerous ongoing operations to gather intel, fund revolutionaries and insurgents, subvert and destabilize populations, and more. But they are secret both for RP reasons and playability reasons. Revealing them would mean many characters with a lot of work put into them would become useless. Hopefully in time once we have a nice big RP story to tell for each one, in addition to creating a replacement for them, we will reveal their stories.
