The Beginning
The Liberty Rogues began as a motley crew of lower-class citizens beneath the foot of the Liberty Police Inc. and cast out from society; for years they spent their lives in a four by four cell lit by fluorescent white lighting, no room to stretch their legs; or working the dark depths of a mine on Houston where noxious gases mingle along the ceiling as they breathed deep. They were not men, they forgot how to be. Then when their time had been served they returned to the world with no home or families to go back to. They looked up and saw the stars and they became the only thing they knew how to be. Their hopes and dreams were quashed, but not their spirit; they took what little they had in this world and headed out for the stars.
Liberty Rogues Today
In 816 A.S. Sylpheed took the Position of Crime Boss from Felix Valder and began to shape the Liberty Rogues to his vision, eventually becoming what they are today. Unlike most other Unlawful Organisations, the Liberty Rogues have chosen to cast aside all idealologies and causes. The Liberty Rogues goal is simple, to loot and plunder hapless transports before disappearing back into the Asteroid fields before the Police and Navy can respond. In general, the Liberty Rogues avoid confrontations with even the most pitiful of the Authorities; a Rogue that runs away lies to plunder another day. The Liberty Rogues also hold a brutal stance towards piracy in what is considered their territory, often attacking even their own allies for pirating in their hunting grounds, most notably is their hostility towards Outcast Gunboats and Destroyers with in Liberty Space.
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. - The Liberty Rogues as told by Fisherwoman
