The group officially fights for the freedom of Liberty, but LSF officials disseminate that most of them fight and rob trade convoys because this is the only way for them to survive - however, no one, except the Liberty Rogues themselves know their true goal. | | The Rogues are notoriously the least organized and developed crime society all over Sirius - the reality is, that the Rogues have more hidden outposts and have more advanced ships than anyone would expect.

| − | The Liberty Rogues
| |
| − |
| |
| − | By Fisherwoman
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Well when an old friend came and asked me what I knew about the Liberty Rogues, I told him that I had a lot of information on them and their operations. I also told him I knew a secret about the Rogues that they probably don’t want anyone to know. I’ll get to that info later but for now I’ll just stick to the general facts.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Liberty Rogues are the Outcasts route for Cardamine into Liberty, with their connections to the Junkers of Rochester and Beaumont, However that chain is precarious as it’s just as easy for Outcast smugglers to miss out the Rogues and go straight to the Junkers. The Rogues therefore exist on a knife edge between useful and useless, without the Cardamine trade the Rogues would become a lot less than they are right now.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Recently a new group within the Rogues has emerged from the darkness, bringing propaganda and scare tactics to try and get things done. Kind of like the Xenos only with less isolationism and more insanity. The Democratic Peoples of Liberty sprung up around the time of the Manhattan Protest Massacre in which perennial whiner Simon Reynolds was reputedly killed, along with a few other folks including three children. The timing of their arrival is somewhat suspect, but more on that later.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Without further ado let’s see who’s who in the madhouse.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sylpheed
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Crime Boss of the Liberty Rogues it’s been reported that he’s never been seen by any outside the Rogues. Well he has been now. I’ve seen him and talked to him and I can tell you one thing for sure, this guy is a few hull plates short of a starflier. Sylpheed cropped up with the DPL, he came with them and insinuated himself into the Rogues higher echelons, when Valdar went away, he took the top spot and now he won’t relinquish it. The timing of Sylpheeds arrival and Reynolds death isn’t a coincidence. It was Sylpheed who arranged for the protest to be hit and it was Sylpheed who organised the DPL, of course this would require Sylpheed to have contacts in the Navy, which he did have up until recently anyway. The Admiral responsible for having Reynolds demobbed was the same guy bribed to send out a black ops team to smash this convoy. These coincidences just keep stacking up.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Felix Valdar
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Felix Valdar was the one time Crime boss of the LR, taking over the role from Richton when he was too past it to do the job properly. It was Valdar who approved the DPL to help the Rogues, and when he left to tend family issues it was he who gave Sylpheed the top spot. Felix is ex LSF, so he has a bit of insider info on them, not much but it’s helped the LR on a few occasions. When Felix found out that the LSF had categorically lied to him about the death of Valdar’s father he turned tot eh Rogues, a fast learner he was able to take charge of the Rogues after only two years, turning them from a petty pirate group into a force to be reckoned with.

| |
| − | Roger Havana
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Roger Havana is the Underboss of the DPL, and as such he answers directly to Slypheed. He grained power quickly and rose through the ranks of the Rogues until he was given direct control over the DPL when it was ready to be passed on to him by Slypheed. I’ve never met Roger myself, but from what I understand, his reason for hating Liberty’s government so much is the fact that his mother was involved in what was billed as an “accident” at the lab she was working at and Roger never saw her again. The man’s resourceful, as he did some digging and found out that what she was working on was a top secret mixture that was said to produce hallucinations and uncontrollable spasms in enemy pilots—in space. He knows how this stuff works, has a mind for it, so we might try to keep an eye on him for future use. You want to know about how well he flies? Frankly I don’t know. Many people have fought him but few have witnessed him in fighter combat to be able to decipher what his skills are. I’d not want to duke it out though, his official kill count is absurd in that Destroyer he commands.

| |
| − | Don Thug
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Don Thug is something of an icon in Liberty, the Rogues know him as fanatically loyal, if a little shy of brain cells. His restricted vocabulary has made him a target for the LPI, as they use sound recordings from the man as part of their anti Rogue Propaganda. This hasn’t affected Don though as he continues to protect Valdar and by extension the rest of his wing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | >>Interesting factoid, seems the student populace of Denver and Manhattan have somewhat ignored the LPI and turned Don into something of a student icon.

| |
| − | The Democratic Peoples of Liberty
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I’ll take a little time to go into these nutcases, because that’s what they are, less Cardamine freaks like the regular LR these guys have managed to find fault with everything that Liberty does, from weapon dealer registration, to dealing with the corrupt LN, there is nothing that Liberty can do right. They bring there derision to the attention of the masses with pointless proselytising and acts of terrorism. Unlike the Xenos these guys don’t really have an ideology so much as a goal. They just want to be in charge of Liberty.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Roger Havana is the current head of the DPL, inheriting the post when Sylpheed moved up in the ranks; however he’s still under the heel of Sylpheed. Why is that? You’d have expected Sylpheed to let the DPL go to Havana once he attained the top spot, but the DPL is Sylpheeds baby, it’s been with him since before the protest and certainly before Liberty even began cracking down. I’d say it’s been with him the last 20 years that I’ve known him, ever since he was discharged from the Navy shipyards at Norfolk. Yeah that’s right I know this old bastard, I’ve known him since I was a small girl helping my mother run a little caf? on the Norfolk promenade. I used to call him Uncle Si, now I just call him that frakking nutter.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The DPL was the brainchild of Simon Reynolds and the old goat is still in charge. He didn’t die at the protest; in fact the whole damn thing was staged so he could fake his own death. The bastard sacrificed god knows how many lives, just to get out of the watchful eye of the Liberty government.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The terrorist acts of the DPL tend to be limited to ground based targets, the fighter jocks, stick to scaring traders and causing a ruckus with the LN and LPI.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | >>Done some digging on this front and I can’t refute her logic, it’s all watertight. If she’s right then the Rogues are led by a madman, who’ll do anything for his own personal gain. This puts them firmly at the top of the “Bad Guy” list.

| − | The Liberty Rogue flagship is reported to be a modified Outcast Battleship; its exact capabilities remain unknown as it’s not yet seen combat.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Graviton
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The flagship for the rogue wing, the Graviton is a fully armed Outcast destroyer, since its last refit it’s seen combat a few times and has been soundly beaten in each engagement, Valdar commands it when he’s not piloting the positron or the Neutron. However it’s been sitting in dry-dock since its last outing waiting for critical systems parts that were damaged to be replaced.

| − | Drax
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Not on the official list of ships, the Drax was a part of the Rogues but Reynolds commanded the de-commission of most of the LR’s fleet, Dravis, however, didn’t agree and paid the techs at Padua to keep the continued existence of the Drax a secret from Reynolds. Currently moored at Malta on attachment, it’s not been seen in Liberty for some time.

| − | Diplomatic Details
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Liberty Rogues have it fairly easy when it comes to diplomacy, most of the corps hate them, thee corsairs hate them, the law hates them. Outcasts, Outcast allies and Unioners like them. Everyone else largely ignores them. One notable exception is the other house militaries; what with the Rogues practising their piracy in the Independent worlds they will occasionally butt heads
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Rogues have a few alliances not least with the 101st and the BLS for equipment.
