History of the Padua Liberty Rogues
Pixel Manhattan Bandits
- Our story begins on Manhattan. The year is 812 AS. The PLR were nothing more than a ragtag bunch of teenagers, calling themselves the Pixel Manhattan Bandits-- named after their leader, Keith Pixel. There were various other members at this time, including Nathaniel Hathorne and Chris Goldman. Thus far they had amounted to little more than a group of petty thieves; a minor annoyance for the local police force. Their leader Keith, however, had high hopes for them. He was an idealistic boy brimming with dissatisfaction over the state of society of the time.
- Keith, along with a good portion of the original Pixel Manhattan Bandits, were tragically killed in their dramatic escape from Manhattan aboard several stolen Navy ships. Some say that the original Pixel Liberty Rogue policy of hunting and destroying Navy vessels stemmed from lasting hatred and bitterness about their leader's unfortunate demise.
Pixel Liberty Rogues
- After some time the PLR evolved into a formidable group of pirate operating mostly in and around Galileo and Padua Base. At this time they were named the Pixel Liberty Rogues after their deceased spiritual leader, Keith Pixel. They regularly raided Colorado and attacked navy vessels, acting more like a group of guerrilla bandits than pirates. Unfortunately this called more than a little attention to them and the Navy began to strike at the heart of their operation-- Galileo. In direct response to this the PLR took a more discreet stance and removed themselves from the public spotlight. They also renamed themselves the Padua Liberty Rogues.
Padua Liberty Rogues
- Today the Padua Liberty Rogues have evolved into the group responsible for the defense of Cassini and the Liberty Rogues' most sensitive technology and information. They seek out any persons or parties who enter Cassini to discover what they are doing there and, usually, to drive them out. It is not uncommon for even the usual allies of the Rogues to be forcibly removed from Cassini simply because they have no reason to be there.
- The PLR maintain complete control over all pirating that takes place in Galileo. Any foreign parties attempting to profit off of their traders there are forced to pay a tithe to the Padua Rogues and are killed or driven out if they refuse. They also defend any of their subservient independent Rogues when Bounty Hunters or Mercenaries come into the system looking for them.
Identification
All PLR combat vessels follow this format:
PLR:Ship.Name
IFF - Liberty Rogue Guard
ID - Liberty Rogue Guard
All PLR Pirate Trains follow this format:
PLR:Ship.Name
IFF - Liberty Rogues
ID - Smuggler
Ranks
Recruit - A newly inducted Padua Liberty Rogue. They must prove themselves to be worthy before being moved up to Rogue.
Rogue - A member that have proven themselves a true Rogue and is given some demeaning responsibilities that the higher-ups can't be bothered to do, such as collecting the daily taxes from the Indies in Galileo.
Veteran - A member who has distinguished themselves amongst their peers and is given more important duties such as assisting the Aces with their duties.
Ace - The PLR equivalent to an Underboss in the Liberty Rogues. Aces handle the day-to-day operations of the group and lighten the Underboss's work load.
Underboss - The leader of the Padua Liberty Rogues. The ranking structure and its relation to the LR- structure has led some to believe that the PLR operate as a wing of Sylpheed's Liberty Rogues, but all accusations such as this are purely false. The PLR are a completely independent group and do not take direct orders from the Crime Boss of Sylpheed's Rogues, although they have been known to provide aid to the LR- in their ventures for the sole purpose of appeasement and mutually beneficial cooperation.
It is not specifically possible to determine the rank of a Padua Liberty Rogue solely based on his/her ship name or anything of the sort, although some insist that the light schemes on PLR ships bears some hidden meaning known only to PLR members.
Distinctions From Other Rogues
Cardamine
- No Padua Liberty Rogues are permitted to partake in the use of Cardamine; not even those that were already addicted when they joined, as is the tradition in the Liberty Rogues. If they cannot quit upon joining then they will be kicked out. The reason for this bias is largely unknown, although some theories exist. One theory is that their leader Nathaniel Hathorne's mother's life was destroyed by Cardamine, leaving he and his sister as orphans wandering the streets of Manhattan, and as such Nathan maintains a fear and hatred of the substance that he projects onto his group. The Padua Rogues' leadership insists that "(They) maintain a strict regiment of vigilance and mental readiness that Cardamine usage directly conflicts with. (As such) it is prohibited for any PLR pilots to partake in its usage." Despite their statement on the matter, most other Rogues dispute their views as the Padua Rogues are still free to use other mentally-impairing drugs such as synth weed, wine, and other alcohols.
Conceit
- The Padua Liberty Rogues have a certain haughtiness about the independent Rogues that have yet to choose a group and join it. They feel superior to them and their taxing of the Indies has a certain base in that air of superiority. They feel as if the Indies should pay for the Padua Rogues' protection in Galileo and their policies reflect that.
Ships & Armament
Codename Weapons
- As opposed to most normal Rogues who can hardly get by (let alone purchase expensive codenames from weapons dealers), PLR fighters are frequently seen using PHOENIX, CERBERUS, and other models of codename weapons. Details concerning how they came to be in their possession are fuzzy, but it is believed that they are either manufactured, stolen, or produced by other means in Galileo and the surrounding area.
Ships
- The PLR tend to employ technology and ships not usually seen in the hand of everyday Rogues. It is believed that they employ foreign tactics and technology to augment their armory with technology that is more powerful than normal Rogue weaponry in order
to better ensure the safety of Cassini and its inhabitants.
Purpose
Mission Statement
- The modern Padua Liberty Rogues exist for the sole purpose of defending Cassini and what it contains from all outside threats. Any other objectives or purposes existing aside from this one take a backseat to their primary objective which will always remain the same.
Escort Services
- The PLR have been known to provide escort services to Liberty Rogue smugglers in exchange for a cut of their profits. The reasons for this agreement first coming into being are unknown while it is assumed that it is purely for the purpose of profit.
Diplomacy
- While most Padua Liberty Rogues are free to feel as they wish about other peoples and parties, there are some groups that the Padua Rogues as a whole maintain ties with.
Sylpheed's Liberty Rogues
- The Padua Liberty Rogues of today maintain close ties with Sylpheed's Rogues because their business and day-to-day operations require it. The groups have been known to aid each other on more than a few occasions, while some of Sylpheed's Rogues maintain that the Padua Rogues should be kept at a distance and are no friends to Sylpheed's Rogues.
The Hogosha
- The Padua Rogues and the Hogosha have butted heads since the PLR first sprang up in Galileo. Reasons for the conflict between the two groups is uncertain, while it is speculated that the PLR's hostilities towards the Hogoshans stems directly from their close relationship with the Junkers, who have fought with the Hogosha for as long as anyone can remember. Another possible root of the conflict is that the Hogosha maintain that they are the true owners of Galileo, while the Padua Rogues insist that the Hogosha have absolutely no right to make such a claim and that the PLR are the true owners. The two groups have met in battle on several occasions in the past, while a tentative ceasefire has been recently reached.
The Junkers Congress
- Despite the growing annoyance that Sylpheed's Liberty Rogues direct towards the Junkers, the Padua Liberty Rogues maintain ties so close to the group that they could almost be called allies. It is speculated that the only reason the Padua Rogues can afford more advanced weaponry and armament than most Rogues is because of their under-the-table dealings with the Junkers, while the Junkers vehemently claim that they are a lawful organization and would not directly finance weapons and supplies to a criminal organization such as the Rogues.
