Deployed in 817 AS, the Wyoming was the first Liberty Security Force (LSF) deep-space variant Interdictor battlecruiser. Designed as a long range commerce raider during the Hudson War, the Wyoming was ideally adapted for long flights to Hamburg after Rheinland sabotaged its Jump Gate connections to the Independent Worlds. While on missions, the battlecruiser acted as the LSF’s eyes and ears in Rheinland, assassinating high profile Military targets and disrupting war-critical industry. The Wyoming’s last status update placed it in Hamburg’s Kielfeld in 820 AS, with the LSF assuming the vessel was lost shortly after.
In reality, Division 9 -- a Nomad cell concealed within the LSF -- had coordinated with The Wild to set a deadly trap. Isolated and cut off, the vessel was overwhelmed and boarded, with the surviving crew captured and infected. The Wild initially used the Wyoming to implicate Liberty in war crimes against civilian targets, hoping to derail tentative peace negotiations. Following the end of the war, the battlecruiser went on to aid in the capture of the Battlecruiser Trier, with both then participating in the Wild attack on Thuringia’s Valhalla Shipyard. After desperately needed repairs, the Wyoming was refitted with Nomad hybrid technologies and returned to service.
The vessel then carried out a range of sabotage and abduction operations intended to undermine Liberty, exacerbate border tensions, and expand the infiltrator network. Increasingly its work focused on countering Order influence in the region, as its thralls covertly identified and eliminated Order agents in the Liberty underworld. Eventually these activities attracted the attention of the Battleship Atum, which cornered the battlecruiser in Galileo. After several years of evasive actions, the Wyoming threw caution to the wind and was detected burning towards Colorado. The Wild successfully punched through The Order guard squadron at the Jump Hole, and recently made the jump to Ontario.

| [830 AS] Troubles in Erie's Paradise |
|
ERIE -- 830 AS -- It was the early hours of the morning when a missile was launched from Erie's surface; A missile that struck its target of an LSF satellite in orbit of Erie. The attack was claimed to have originated by militant Zoners seeking to separate themselves from Libertonian governance, and proved to be the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. For some time, it had been alleged that Insurgent and Xeno-backed cells had been stirring trouble on Erie, inciting violence in the population and seeking to turn the planet into a second Veracruz. Never, however, had such open acts of terror been visited upon the governing Libertonian forces. The response was quick and decisive. In coordination with the LSF, Vice Admiral Hamish aboard the Battleship Alma lead a Liberty Navy task force directly into the system in Operation Pesticide, escorted primarily by Siege Cruisers, Gunboats and fightercraft, with many of the Navy's capital warships tied in the Vespucci campaign or ever watchful at Liberty's borders. They were met by Zoner Q-ships based from Bethlehem, with many coming from as far as Galileo or even the Sigmas, accompanied by a motley assortment of freelancers and other anarchist elements. Leading the Zoner line was a Aquilon-class carrier, the Pinnacle. While the Pinnacle came under heavy bombardment from the Alma and her task force, supplies quickly gathered onto Zoner transports from Erie attempted to run the Navy blockade. While some transports were lost to Navy bombers, others yet escaped to parts as of yet unknown. This 'victory', however, came at a heavy price. The Pinnacle was lost with most of her hands still on board and the rest captured, while the Liberty Marines landed virtually unopposed, quickly securing population centers for both the safety of Libertonian assets and the civilians on Erie itself. The Alma is settled now into the low orbit of Erie, a constant reminder to those below that they are under the protection of the Liberty Navy. A comfort to some, a dire warning to many more. |
