Slavers Union arrangement

The Lane Hackers will be regularly utilizing our advanced mania-interrogation techniques to persuade pilots to eject from their ships and surrender to us for intelligence debriefings. Once those debriefings are concluded, we desire to repatriate these pilots, or re-educate them as the case may be, via the services of The Slavers Union. Currently, one interrogation vessel has been commissioned and will be berthed at a location to be transmitted to you at a later time. Another may be commissioned as needed for berth elsewhere. Once you have transmitted acceptable terms to us and the prison vessel has passed inspections at Phoenix Shipyard, security codes will be transmitted to you. The Lane Hackers are debriefing Bounty Hunters, civilians, police, and various military/navy pilots. As a term of this contract, The Lane Hackers insist upon the following: The Slavers Union will be responsible for staffing the prison vessel with 50 Lane Hacker Pilots whom you have rescued from the foul clutches of our enemies. We do not care how you obtain our brethren from their enemies, only that you deliver them to us safely. Cardamine is an acceptable form of payment, both for the pilots you collect from us, and the Lane Hackers whom you have rescued and delivered back to our ranks.

Alliance with UOG

1. LR and LH pilots will provide each other with strategic and tactical assistance when requested.
2. LR will grant LH access to all Rogue facilities for the purposes of smuggling, commodities sales, and ship repairs. No Rogue weaponry will be purchased from the Rogues without prior notification and approval.
3. LH will grant LR complete access to Mactan Base and Leidan Base for the purposes of smuggling, commodities sales, and ship repairs.
4. LH will share intelligence data detailing the disposition of hostile forces, in exchange for high level Liberty Rogue weapons.
5. LH will provide LR with access to Codename weapons from our armories, in exchange for Rogue weapons or other needed supplies.
6. LH will pay negotiated rates for pilots LR delivers to LH for interrogation. (We'll pay more than you can receive for them in Liberty space on your own).
7. LH will provide free access to Slipstream fighters from Mactan Base in exchange for free access to Daggers from Buffalo Base.

Identification

In contrast to other factions, members of the Lane Hacker faction can not be readily recognized as they do not use tags in their callsigns. On joining the Hacker ranks, members dispose of their former identities and adopt aliases. These aliases are primarily names of fictional villains originally from ancient Earth.

Certain Lane Hacker agents and ships do still carry a tag:

• Recruits: LH~
• Assassins: LH~A~
• Faction ships: primarily LH. and LH*

Lane Hackers carry Lane Hacker IDs and squawk either Lane Hacker or Lane Hacker Guard IFFs.
