Freelancers

Freelancers

To some, the Colonial Liberation Front (Also known as Free Colonist) are the militia to keep the peace, to others they're rebels who oppose the USCM in the Tychon's Rift Sector. As a member of the CLF you fight for freedom against the United Americas, who foolishly believe that your homes belong to them.

An increasingly powerful rebellion of angry colonists and extremists. The CLF have taken up arms against the USCM over fears that the government is no longer able to keep them safe. Particularly angry over the suppression of worker strikes, liberal application of force against them in the past, and the increasing disappearance and loss of colonies from various hostiles, many of these homegrown terrorists and freedom fighters seek to cause as much destruction and mayhem as possible. In just a year since their original creation, they have exploded in size. Exact numbers are unclear, but it is rumored they now surpass the 150,000 active members of the USCM in quantity.

History

With the loss of the UA/USCM support in the Tychon's Rift Sector, due to the defeat of the Dust Raiders on Whiskey Outpost in 2181, the Freelancers stepped in to fill the power vacuum that was left behind. The UPP couldn't fill it as that would have been seen as an invasion. The freelancers use a mix of both legally and illegally obtained weapons and munitions, mainly acquired from the Dust Raider's abandoned bases and equipment stockpiles. They run Irkala Station, which is a space station in the centre of the Tychon's Rift sector, which acts as their main trading hub. To this day, many colonists see as Freelancers as the main fighting force of order throughout the Tychon's Rift Sector.

Years later, when the USCM Battalion 'Falling Falcons' as well as their flagship, the USS Almayer, arrived to the sector and in dire need of help, the Freelancers, sees this as either an opportunity to assist the Marines or on some views, an opportunity of raiding the Almayer for loot.
