The Liberty Revolutionary Front is devoted to freeing Liberty from its “Corrupt Leadership” and implementing a Socialist Government to take control of the Navy and the Corporations, bringing them under strict control of the Government which they feel has gone rampant.
History
Beginnings
Before the Front there was the Liberty Workers Party. The party was formed out of a core of concerned labour 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 Labourers Union, and put forward candidates for the House of Representatives. They were received initially by their targetted 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 labour. On the latter they were particularly vocal, abhorring the use of prisoners for work that should rightfully be done by Liberty labourers. 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 impactful 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, 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 weren't arrested joined Phoenix in his campaign.
The Liberty Revolutionary Front was born.
Disarray
Following the initial arrests, LRF members and sympathizers organized themselves into underground cells, spread out in the four core Liberty systems. Fearful of their communications being monitored, orders and communiques were being hand-delivered. While this increased their operational safety, it also increased the risk as members would need to move openly. This required massive amounts of ID falsification and record hacking, which was quickly draining the LRF reserves.
The risks never became as obvious as one fateful trip. Lachlan Phoenix was personally delivering orders to a cell on Planet Denver when he was ambushed by a chance LPI patrol. Being outnumbered, his bodyguard was killed and Lachlan barely escaped intact. With cruise engines disabled and impulse power was barely enough to sustain life support and power the main engines. After three days missing, he was recovered by a sympathetic mining ship and smuggled onto Denver.
This turned out to be a turning point in the Front. Terrorist bombings of corporate and government buildings did very little in terms of meaningful impact. Security was very strict and difficult to bypass, and damage inflicted was repaired within days causing very little operational loss. Realizing this, the Front scraped together their funds and outfitted themselves with fighter and bomber craft. They set out to the Texas system, and eventually settled in Freeport 2 in Bering to regroup and re-organize.
At this time, it was critical to gain allies. Phoenix sent out his right-hand man, Ben Warner, to contact the Unioners nearby. The Alster Union was a logical choice; they were one jump away from Liberty and had common goals in Rheinland. The Unioners welcomed their new neighbors, and offered them Pacifica as a base of operations. It was also at this time that the Coalition began to take notice of the LRF, and other Rheinland revolutionary forces, such as the Red Hessians and the Volksfront also recognized the struggle of the LRF, eventually forming an unwritten alliance.
Evolution
In a short period of time, the LRF was re-organized into a guerrilla fighting force utilizing hit and run style attacks. Concentrating on fighters and bombers and shunning larger capital ships, they began to effectively strike at Liberty government and corporate targets in Texas. However, another problem afflicting the workers of Liberty was starting to become noticed by the LRF. Texas was being used as a corridor by slavers and drug traffickers.
Cardamine and its addictiveness turned the poor and destitute, those most prone to addiction problems, into prime targets for slavers. Either through deception or outright kidnapping, the problem became epidemic. Phoenix and Warner decided to allocate resources into combating this problem for two reasons: ridding Liberty of the corrupting influence of Cardamine, and as a public relations move as it directly benefited Liberty society.
With Liberty corporations taking larger precautions and sometimes avoiding Texas altogether, the LRF found itself more and more at the forefront of the battle for the soul of Liberty's workers. Outcasts and independent smugglers became targeted just as often as corporate traders, leading to the rescue of thousands of slaves and the destruction of tonnes of Cardamine and other contraband.
Resurrection
After a exceedingly violent event within the Liberty system of Ontario, the LRF was forced to go underground and bide it's time, Lachlan Phoenix made his return to the now hiding revolutionary group and rallied them once more into the open after re-establishing contact with both the Unioners who provided shelter and armaments for their operatives as well as the Red Hessians who also provided arms and moral support to their Liberty comrades. The Front was weakened after the Ontario Incident, however they slowly started to regain their strength and even now conduct hit and run strikes on Liberty Shipping and Smugglers within Southern and Western Liberty.
Current Times
At present the Liberty Revolutionary Front is still gathering it's strength and consolidating what power it has in the Texas System and the Independent Worlds close to Rheinland. The LRF conducts Hit-Fade strikes on Shipping whenever it can and using captured small transports ships supplies from the Zoners to Unioner, Hessian and LWB Bases. Lachlan Phoenix, the leader of the Terrorist Group makes his plans in Bering for a new shining future for the movement in Bering, hoping to one day make a difference within Liberty space as a whole.
With the most recent disappearance of Lachlan Phoenix, his second in command, Peter Tannor took up the scarlet banner and continues to fight under the Liberty Revolutionary Front as a front-line leader. In 818 rumors cropped up of a hidden Front Depot somewhere in Liberty run by the organization, however this has not been confirmed by Liberty Authorities and when questioned they deny that an organization like the Front has the resources to construct and maintain such a facility. Yet this does not stop the ever persistent rumors of such a base.
Character Information
Characters are named as follows:
- For fighters and bombers: LRF|Firstname.Lastname
- Freighters use LRF|RCS-shipname (example: LRF|RCS-Crimson.Star )
- Gunboats use LRF|RS-shipname (example: LRF|LRV-New_Democracy )
Characters use a Freelancer IFF and Pirate ID.
Operations
They fight for the Workers, they are small yet well organized despite what the Navy and LPI think. Goals are and include
- Overthrowing the Current Government through Guerrilla Warfare
- Replacing it with a Socialist Government and bringing Liberty Resources and assets under tight control of said Government.
- Repelling attempts by the Outcasts to transport Cardamine and Slaves freely through and from Liberty Space.
The Liberty Revolutionary Front is quite fanatical in their beliefs, yet they have not gotten to the point of insanity nor stupidity, they shall never attack a Civilian or a Free Trader, for they are the ones they are fighting for within Liberty Space and thus are to be protected, however no Corporate Trader is safe from their fury, if it be local Liberty Corporations or foreign corporations encroaching on their territory.
Zone of influence
Liberty Systems
Liberty is the home of the Front, however they are hunted and combat operations are focused directly in these systems, they cannot land on many bases within the house of Liberty, but they tend to find a way to make do with what they have at hand.
They conduct Hit-and-Fade operations on Liberty Corporation Shipping and Naval forces whenever they can, they also attempt to interdict smuggling operations of Cardamine and Slaves running to and from Liberty space.
Independent Systems
They make berth here in the Independent Systems, mostly in the Zoner Bases and the Unioner bases that are positioned in Bering, they return here after their operations are finished and they require supplies that they cannot take from Liberty Transports.
Not much else is known about their operations here, however the Liberty Navy suspects that they also prey on Liberty Corporate Shipping here as well as Rheinland Shippers, forcing traders to drop their cargo in some attempt to slow down the flow of funds to the Navy and Police Forces that are arrayed against them.
