- This is a player faction. For the affiliated NPC faction, see Liberty Security Force
The Liberty Security Force (=LSF=) is the intelligence branch of the Democratic Republic of Liberty. Formed in 528 A.S. by the Order of Cincinnatus the goal of the Liberty Security Force was that of a dedicated intelligence agency. After the Nomad War of 800 A.S. - 801 A.S., as well as the complete infection of the Order of Cincinnatus and the almost complete takeover of Liberty herself, the organisation reformed, introducing many anti-nomad procedures which helped to purge infected agents from their ranks. The Liberty Security Force's main objective is to ensure the safety and security of their parent house, Liberty. Agents often operate in complete secrecy, gathering data from around Sirius to ensure the free flow of goods and people into and out of Liberty.
Synopsis
Mission Statement
To accomplish what others cannot and go where others cannot. The Liberty Security Force carry out their mission by:
- Providing timely analysis that provides insight, warning and opportunity to the President and decision-makers charged with protecting and advancing Liberty's interests.
- Conducting covert action with or without the direction of the President to pre-empt threats to or achieve Liberty's policy objectives.
- Carrying out our mission by collecting information that reveals the plans, intentions and capabilities of our adversaries and provides the basis for decision and action.
- Any means necessary.
Brief History Timeline

- In 800 AS, Freeport 7 is attacked, the infected LSF blames the Order to try and further their goals in taking over Liberty. The Nomad War begins.

- 817 AS, Copeland retires and Powell appoints David Copperfield as Director. Further mistrust of the Order leads to recon missions into their space. Diplomatic relations with Rheinland break down completely, war is declared. LSF send in scout ships to investigate fleet strengths and weaknesses.
Command Directorate
File:Http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/6826/comdir.png This system was originally called the High Command and was introduced under former Director Brian Copeland. The newer system, called the Command Directorate kept certain aspects of the older system. It was comprised of 3 members, the Director, Deputy Director and the Associate Director. The position of the Chief of Operations was added later.
- The Director serves as the head of the Liberty Security Force and is nominated by the President. The Director manages the operations, personnel and budget of the LSF.
- The Deputy Director assists the Director in his duties as head of the LSF and exercises the powers of the Director when the Director’s position is vacant or in the Director’s absence or disability.
- The Associate Director of the Liberty Security Force, is responsible for managing the LSF on a day-to-day basis. In the absence of the Director and/or Deputy Director, the Associate Director takes command of the Liberty Security Force. They are also the main spokesperson for the agency.
- The Chief of Operations is in charge of all missions and assignments, (s)he is a member of the Command Directorate. The Chief issues assignments that are too important to be left to the Secretaries of each department, in turn the Chief reports directly to the Director's.
The Command Directorate came to be, as the Directors were burdened by more and more duties. It allows duty delegation and isolation, making the system more efficient as well as more impenetrable. The Command Directorate incorporates the Secretaries of each department to run the Liberty Security Force in the absence of the Directors.
The Director
Anna Brown was chose to continue Copperfield's work by the Liberty Government and David personally, no one is sure why she is the head of the Liberty Security Force in that early age but no one actually can judge that decision.
Second in Command
Former David Copperfield's and now Anna Brown's right hand man is Deputy Director Christian Deus, however, he is more of a hands-on fighter pilot and does not get involved much in the politics of Liberty.
Third in Command
Johny Leroy was appointed as the Associate Director after Wolfe was declared missing in action. He is considered the "voice of the LSF"
Forth in Command
Norman O'Connor is head of all assignments and operations inside Liberty and beyond. He takes command of LSF forces when none of the Directors are around.
Tactical Operations Department
The Tactical Operations Department (TacOps) was initially created with the aim of taking the performing of special operations beyond the border of the Republic on a new level. The agents of both the Special Operations Division (which was replaced by the TacOps) and the Department of Homeland Security formed that Department. Due to a change in the way the operations were done, the role of the DHS within the Liberty Core systems became less active and thus the DHS activities were temporarily frozen in order to divert the resources to TacOps. The current mission of the TacOps is to protect Liberty's citizens and interests against potential or current external and internal threats. The means of accomplishing the mission include arrests, war duty, intelligence gathering, deep space reconnaissance, wet-works and undisclosed operations outside the House of Liberty as well as within its borders. Secretary of Tactical Operations is Randy Roden.
Research and Development
The Department of Research and Development (R&D) develops and researches advanced technology for the military machine that is Liberty. All development is highly classified, but some of R&D's projects can be seen throughout Liberty, such as the Avenger fighter craft.
Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was the first Department to be created after the Nomad War to counter the growing criminal activities in the House of Liberty. The agents of the DHS performed investigations and assisted the local police forces throughout the Republic of Liberty both on the ground and in space, when their presence was required.The creation of the Tactical Operations Department initially weakened the DHS, since many well-trained agents were reassigned to the newly created Department in order to make it work as effective as it should. That led to the freezing of the operations of the DHS. However, with the rise of the criminal activities in the House of Liberty, the Department of Homeland Security was reinstated in order to deal with the reemerging criminals in Liberty and the Independent Worlds. The agents operate in space and planetside, as well as maintain the security of important installations throughout Liberty. Secretary of Homeland Security is Jon Snow.
Rumours
There are many rumours surrounding the LSF, the high command and many of their operatives.
- One such rumour is the existence of a research station deep within uncharted territory that conducts highly classified testing on Nomad technologies.
- Another, is the past of Director Copperfield. Prior to his enlisting in the Navy, he appears to be a ghost with nothing on file with regard to his past. All attempts to gain information on him have drawn a blank. It is rumoured that he was involved in organized crime, but these rumour are unsubstantiated.
- Julia Wolfe has been spotted many times deep within uncharted space. The gossip of many is that she is either a double agent for the Order, or has been infected by the Wild or the Nomads. Liberty officials have dismissed this as Order propaganda, in an attempt to discredit Wolfe.
- Chief Mike Edwards allegedly took part in an illegal interrogation of Order Admiral Mirage Bre'Delakorsa, which involved torture. After her escape, Edwards paranoid of a possible assassination attempt by her, made him focus too much on diverting valuable resources on strikes against Order.
- Secretary of Internal Affairs Sonya Mosby has been accused of working with Rheinland Military officials, by leaking vital intelligence information that the LSF has obtained. Associate Director Wolfe has stood by her agent by dismissing the claims outright.
- Former Special Operations Adviser Adrienne Perry has said to have been neglecting her children, by devoting too much time into her work. Her ex husband says the claims are ridiculous.
- Several hours after Westfallen was in the hands of navy unknown source brought rumor that Anna Brown is exchanging equipment with one Rheinland Military pilot several trade rings away from Westfallen, also same source claims that Anna is behind "Silver" project.
- Many rumors are following mister Norman O'Connor and his secret meetings with "Rogues", no one can tell you for sure what is he doing on the meetings and the story is told without any evidence. It has been changing every time.

Diplomacy
After an agreement with Fleet Admiral Hale of the Liberty Navy, Director Copperfield was able to appoint a Navy Dreadnought, the Tyrannical, to serve temporarily under Liberty Security Force command for a period of 3 months. The contract terms can be re-evaluated at any time, to extend the appointment period. The Liberty Security Force and the Navy do not always see eye to eye on issues, however, they manage to work together to ensure the continued internal stability of Liberty.
Working with Liberty Police Incorporated
The Liberty Security Force regards the role of the LPI very highly, as without them, the job of an agent would be very difficult. The two organisations liase constantly ensuring pirates, smugglers and any would-be lawbreaker or terrorist is dealt with quickly and severely. The LSF occasionally engages in patrols with the LPI and feed on-the-spot intelligence on possible smugglers and pirate activity. Their joint force efforts prove to be very efficient in keeping Liberty crime free.
Wanted for Questioning
A Freelancer working together with LSF Operative Jun'Ko Zane during the War, previously employed by the LSF as civilian contractor.
Jun'ko Zane joined the Order sometime during the war, the LSF hunted her for a time until she received a full pardon from the President. A while later, she rejoined the Order and fled Liberty. She is wanted on charges of treason and revealing LSF secrets.
Edison Trent is wanted for treason and is known to be still working for the Order.
