Background

(See: Lane Hackers)

Goals

1. The bankruptcy of the corrupt Ageira Technologies, the nefarious Interspace Commerce, and the dissolute cartel known as [IND] Independents.
2. Confiscation of all revenues illicitly purloined from the intellectual expertise of former, current, and future Ageira employees by Ageira Technologies with the collusion of Interspace Commerce, their corporate conspirators, and associated hoodlums in [IND].
3. The eventual use of confiscated revenues to establish a new R & D Technology firm to replace the nefarious Ageira Technologies. The firm will honor its employees, conduct fair and just business practices, and pursue technological innovations for the benefit of all mankind. The firm's first project will be the development of an inter-dimensional, quasi-molecular, table-top nomad-brain disgronifier suitable for purchase by every middle-class family in Sirius. Then families can sleep peacefully without worrying about whether there is a nomad under the bed or about to leap out of the dark closet at 2 am when you have to get up to go to the bathroom because you just HAD to drink that 26th Sidewinder Fang before you left your neighbor's groovy shindig.
4. Elimination of the hypocritical and puritanical social and legal restrictions on the use of the intellectual enhancer Cardamine.

Methods

1. The interdiction and disruption of all commercial traffic in the colony of Liberty and its bordering systems in order to bankrupt Ageira Technologies, Interspace Commerce, and [IND] through disruption of their contractual obligations throughout Sirius.
2. Harassment and, where necessary, termination of all so-called "legal authorities" under the corrupting influence of Ageira, Interspace Commerce, and [IND].
3. Infiltration of commercial interests by Lane Hackers at every level of planning, production, logistics, and security services to provide timely intelligence to the Lane Hacker Professorship, the Hellfire Legion, and allied parties. Disruption of all broadcasts of the ancient Terran Techno-Operational Treatises known as "James Bond films". Confiscation of all known copies of these Treatises for Lane Hacker training purposes.
4. Leveraging the Lane Hacker alliance with the Outcasts and Liberty Rogues to further insinuate the enlightenment of Cardamine into Liberty Society at every level.
5. Embarrass, Humiliate, Harass, Prank, Infiltrate, Disrupt, Annoy, Irritate, Purify, Cleanse, Flail, Disgronify, Discombobulate, Confuse, Disconcert, Fluster, Rattle, Encumber, Thwart, Obstruct, Hinder, Impede, Interfere, and Tickle =LSF= & [LN] at every turn to reward them for so masterfully and effectively shilling for Ageira Technologies and Interspace Commerce. This shall include but not be limited to sneaking Cardamine into the food supply at the LSF and Liberty Navy barracks and depositing yellow organic liquid supplements into their drinking water at every opportunity.

Identification

In contrast to other factions, members of the Lane Hacker faction cannot be readily recognized as they do not use faction identifiers in their call-signs. On joining the Hacker ranks, members dispose of their former identities and adopt aliases. These aliases are primarily the names of prominent antagonists taken from the "James Bond Documentary Series" of ancient Earth.

Certain Lane Hacker agents and ships do still carry an identifier:

• Recruits and Trainees: 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.
