Description
Liberty Police Incorporated (LPI) is a private company that handles the policing of Liberty space to interdict the transportation of contraband and to prevent attacks on civilian and commercial traffic. As with any Government-endorsed company, the LPI are the best in their field. Many other corporations bid for the position but the LPI brutally crushed such opposition by clandestine means. As such, the Liberty Police Incorporated have a reputation for being ruthless and efficient.
While there are rumours of corruption and bribery being rampant within the ranks of the LPI, they are normally silenced quickly. The LPI is renowned for its ability to strike with deadly force at any threat from within Liberty's borders.
Summary of Duties:
- Interdiction of smugglers
- Upholding the peace, by deadly force if necessary
- Destruction of any pirates, including Rogues, Hackers, Xenos, Outcasts, and any other rabble-rousers
- Filling of the prison stations Huntsville and Sugarland for the rehabilitation of criminal elements and the riff-raff
- Rescue and Assistance of distressed ships and personnel

Notable LPI officers
- Chief of Police Matt Myers, the current Chief of Police. Rumour has it that he has his own goon squad to help him enforce his policies over the LPI. Has in his possession a tazer shot gun. Officers report that if his eye Twitches, you should run.
- Officer Cesar Fezini, Officer that flies his patrol craft while naked. Not a pretty sight. Think overweight Sasquatch.
- Deputy Chief of Police Sean Toronto, Recently retired, was hell on wheels in a bomber. Would charge off into the Badlands with a war cry with no regard to his own safety.
- SWAT Officer L.Jenkins, a "some what" off balanced SWAT officer. Calling him by his full name has been the bane of more than one pilot, lawful or unlawful. LPI pilots know not to say his full name. Occasionally slips his Anti Psych meds into other officers coffee.
- Officer James Kurios, A suspected Machoist, refuses to fly anything bigger than a Patriot. Claims someone needs to show the new kids the ropes. Head Patriot Flight Instructor.
- Deputy Chief of Police Riza Williams, Fastest Tazer draw in all of the LPI. Has a custom made brick launcher (?) for office use.
- Officer Oliver Shaw, is also known as Riza's Secretary. Willing to do anything and everything for her, no matter how suicidal. Also makes the best cup of coffee in all of Sirius, because of this rare gift he is know as "The Phantom Coffee Maker". He can also make a very delightful doughnut.
- Deputy Chief Hull O'Brian, Fiercely loyal to the LPI and his fellow officers in it. No nonsense type of guy, will tell ya to get lost in a heart beat. Has a penchant for Tequila and Redheaded women. Rumor is that if Matt Myers ever leaves, this guy is in trouble. He was captured by a Harvester and lived to tell the tale. Once ordered the destruction of any traffic that got in the way of an ambulance that was on its way to save the life of a LPI officer.
- Deputy Chief Jim Markey, Longest-serving (consecutive) officer on the force. Possesses the button to the office laser cannon. Rumored to have the ear of the Chief. This disproven by the fact that the Chief yet has both ears. Known to make intelligent decisions from time to time, but prefers talking to fighting.

Officer Handheld Weapons
Agiera’s Detroit Munitions turns out several new models of sidearms a year. Some of the weapons used by the LPI are listed below:
The DM-9 “Peacekeeper” - 9 millimeter hand weapon. Good for pilots to have, fits into a lifepod easily. Good for escape and evasion scenarios.
The DM-50 “Giant killer” - 50 cal. Riot gun. Guaranteed to take down the biggest Perp that is out of his mind on drugs.
The AG-BS “Back shot” – Automatic sawed off shotgun. When a criminal absolutely positively needs a load of buckshot in his arse. Good for debilitating perps that run.
The AG-FF “Flechette Flinger”– Metal/Ceramic Flechette launcher. Used to take out large groups of foes at once.
The DB-IKY2 "Door Buster"- Man-portable grenade launcher used by the LPI SWAT teams for boarding smuggler craft on the surface of a planet.
The TT-90 "Little Shocker"- Hand held Tazer with enough stopping power to jump start a Patriot fighter. Has 3 settings: stun, lights out, and crispy.
Divisions, Precincts, And Guard System
Due to a restructuring that took place early 817 A.S, The Liberty Police Inc is now broken up into four subdivisions:
1. Law Enforcement Division
2. Consumer Products Division
3. Prison Management Division
4. Management Division
All three sub divisions report to Corporate Management on Planet Manhattan. The Law Enforcement Sub-Division has no control over the other 3 sub-divisions, and vice versa, except Corporate management, which has control of the other three sub-divisions.
Law Enforcement Division Breakdown
Division 1: New York
- The main Bases are Planet Manhattan and Fort Bush. This sector is the by far the most patrolled. Fort Bush is home of Precincts 111, 112, and 113.
Division 2: California
- The main bases are California Minor, Planet Los Angeles, Riverside Station, and San Diego Border Station. Riverside Station is home to the 204th and 205th Precincts. San Diego Border Station is home to the 206th Precinct. Planet Los Angeles has the 201st and the 202nd Precincts, while California Minor has the 203rd Precinct. The 207th Precinct used to be a halfway station between California system and the Magellan system, but was lost sometime in 699AS.
Division 3: Texas
- The main base here is Houston. The LPI prisons Huntsville and Sugarland are in this system. Precincts 301, 302 and 303 are based on Houston, with minor presences aboard the Sugarland and Huntsville. Houston is also home to Cryer’s Houston Heavy Technologies subsidiary.
Division 4: Colorado
- The main base is Denver. Denver is home to the Denver Research Institute, whose defense systems will be coming online shortly. Until then, however, the LPI is charged with defending it. Precincts 411 and 412 are here.
Division 5: Pennsylvania
- The main base is Planet Erie, with precincts aboard Philadelphia and Harrisburg Stations. Planet Erie has the 501st Precinct, Philadelphia Station has the 502nd, and Harrisburg has the 503rd Precinct.
Division 6: Ontario, Alberta, and Yukon
- The Main base in Ontario is Toronto Station, the main base in Alberta is Red Deer Station, and there is no LPI base in Yukon. 601st Precinct is on Toronto, 602nd is stationed at Red Deer. The 602nd occasionally makes forays into Yukon and Freeport 14.
Division 7: Minnesota, Quebec, and New Hampshire
- New Hampshire and Quebec have no habitable planets or stations aside from Liberty Navy battleships, so the LPI almost never visits these systems. That may change in the future as the systems are developed. Minnesota has Moorhead Station, where the 701st Precinct is stationed.
Division 8: Illinois (Guard system)
- This system plays host to the new Police Plaza, an expanded Springfield Station, an old Liberty Navy Battleship (the McNeil Island), Galesburg Station (home of the LPI's elite fighter training facilities), and a new Supermax prison, Attica. The LPI's new R&D laboratory makes it home on the new Police Plaza. Rumor is Seth-Konstruction Company did the upgrade work to all facilities in Illinois.
LPI R&D Subdivision
The Sentinel Project
LASP - Liberty Autonomous Sentinel Project
Accessing LASP Background File...
The Liberty Government were looking for ways to improve the security within its borders without having to invest vast amount of money to train new recruits since once in a while, the good ones get killed in action, or injured and unable to return to duty.
The Liberty government begun research to create an automated fighter wing that obeyed the police and navy without question or compromise. However, initial AI tests using orthodox methods proved inadequate, as most AI's were prone to corrupt and remote hacking.
One day the undercover section of the LSF branch carried out a sting on an artifact smuggling ring. A Junker transport vessel from the Omicron systems was carrying a most unusual machine, an automated defense drone of some kind. However it wasn't of human origin, some researchers believe its a Taiidan drone, since it bears resemblance to their ship's hull design. But this is pure speculation and theory, and any research into this proved fruitless.
The Navy took the machine apart and accessed the programming, it was astonishing, it was very efficient in carrying out its orders. The programmers re-programmed the AI and copied it into a test Patriot fighter's computer in Willard station area. The AI was given full control of the ship, but had fail-safes just in-case, not to mention Gunboat patrols were stepped up to maintain secrecy.
The initial combat and order tests were exemplary, until its advanced cargo scanners were activated to test its scanning capability. The 'Sentinel' as it is now codenamed, detected Nomad organic material on an incoming transport from Zone 21, the Sentinel's communication systems went down and it targeted the transport, then the Sentinel's weapons fired upon the ship carrying the Nomad materials. The transport was destroyed, the Sentinel would not respond to any of our commands and all fail safes failed. Just as the Gunboats closed to nullify the situation, the Sentinel went back to normal status once the Nomad was eliminated. We resent the shut down codes and the Sentinel complied and shut down.
Its been 5 months since the incident, Willard researchers believe they have worked out he bugs within the Sentinel, and began placing them into Liberator craft. All tests were exemplary, the project staff and police officials believe testing the Sentinel in live combat and patrols are in order.
Orders are being placed for the Sentinel units. As of now, two have been officially declared safe to fly in Liberty. More are on order.
The Sentinel is programmed with the following guidelines:
A. Obey Liberty Navy and LPI without question or compromise.
B. Let no harm come to Liberty Navy, LPI or Lawful civilians and traders.
C. Perform duties of LPI unless ordered not to by LPI or Navy officials.
D. Engage criminals at will if deemed hostile.
E. Intercept and halt smugglers and destroy illegal cargo.
F. When faced with enemy capital craft, send distress beacon and call for assistance.
G. If captured, unit is ordered to self destruct and format memory and optical drives.
Sentinel 100 series - Liberator class ships
Sentinel 200 series - 'Anvil' Gunboat class ships (limited)
Sentinel 300 series - Upholder class ships
Rescue and Assistance Subdivision
This Sub Division is headed up Deputy Chief Riza Williams. It is tasked with rescue and assistance of ships and personnel in distress. Towing, Fire fighting, Salvage, and ambulatory services are offered.
Labeling:
LPI-R&A-<Ship.Name>[X]
X represents:
Ambulance = A Repair Ship = RS Heavy Lifter = HL "Gull" Freighter = GF
Ships used:
Ambulance / Medevac units- 2 Rhinos or Grizzlys Firefighting / Towing - 1 Repair ship Towing / Salvage - 1 Heavy Lifter Salvage - 1 CT-49X "Gull" Freighter
Combat Training Sub Division
Rumor has it that the LPI has been towing in wrecked and abandoned unlawful ships lately and having
them fixed up into a flyable condition.
Rumor also has it that this is happening so the LPI can establish it's own Aggressor squadron for
Combat training exercises.
Hang outs and rumors
Most LPI officers like to hang out at the Sunbucks on Fort Bush Station. This establishment is similiar to an old Earth coffee house,with the exception that it is also a full fledged bar and grill. This Sunbucks is notable because it has a brass plaque hanging up with all 150 Names of the fallen when Fort Bush was bombed. Other equipment includes a jukebox, pool table, and big screen for watching sporting events.
Here are some rumors one might encounter in a LPI Bar like Sunbucks.
- Many people look at Matt Myers and think he is a fat lazy slob. Rumor is that he is a member MENSA.
- Deputy Chief Riza Williams, it is rumored, has a "Thing" for Fiarmen.
- Officer James Kurios is Secretly a Fiarman. (Dont tell Riza)
- Officer James Kurios is also incurably insane.
- Someone gave Officer James Kurios rights to edit this rumor board.
Deputy Chief Riza WilliansSome LPI Officers are communists.- The Xenos are really just disgruntled LPI.
- Rumor has it, that a decent portion of the LPI are sympathetic to the cause of The Xenos.
- Contrary to popular belief, the LPI is NOT donut powered
- Reading a LPI rumor board makes you want to apply for the LPI.
- Don't ever go to the HR department... you wont come back.... **Shudder**
- If you ever want coffee and doughnuts whilst in the LPI, contact Officer Oliver Shaw at any time.
- That there is a dead Sergeant from the Lost Precinct, wanders the Sirius sector, routing out evil and sending those that are to Hell.
