To some the CLF are the militia to keep the peace, to others they're rebels who oppose the USCM in the Tychon's Rift Sector.
Overview
There was a decent amount of death and hardship, even when the Dust Raiders were in the Tychon Rift Sector, and as such the CLF feel the USCM can't protect them. In this regard you could call them a militia that protects their neighbouring colonies, however they also want to fight for their freedom, so they're a rebel group in that regard. Previously there was an armed insurgency against the Dust Raiders, including a suicide attack by a Cargo Freighter called the USCSS Corrinus that collided with the USS Alistoun killing a handful of Dust Raiders along with rupturing the cyro-storage section and damaging the engines, most likely by a more radical element according to sources at the time. As a direct result of these events, the Dust raiders used bombardments and other aggressive methods to try and quell the insurgency and restore order, however this led to a high civilian casualty rate.
Standing Orders
Repel the USCM Falling Falcons Battalion from Tychons Rift Sector at all costs to protect our independence.
