A broken home

Everyone comes into the world free and equal in rights, although some seem to enjoy more freedoms than others. In the Federation, the Empire and its sporadic wars are often mentioned.


Yet the Empire is not as united as it claims, especially with the aging reign of Empress Arissa Lavigny-Duval.


Opposing visions clash over the empire's future:

- Aisling Duval advocates reform of slavery policy.


- Zemina Torval wants to strengthen the economy through an aggressive slavery policy.


- Danton Patreus wants to extend imperial influence by force.

Many pilots are already fighting for these changes, taking sides in this struggle for power, as in the Beta Sculptoris system, where you go...



Which side are you on?



As you arrive in the system, you notice on your navigation panel that a Brookes Galactic Tours is nearby, not far from a neutron star. You say to yourself that perhaps you should take a look before you set off again, and after you've taken a few photos.

As you take a moment to contemplate and immortalize it, your speakers suddenly begin to crackle. Music blares out, saturating your speakers and cutting off your flight controls.


Immediately afterwards, a bold message appears on your dashboard screen:


THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATION FORM FLI


WE ARE THE LIBERATION FRONT IMPERIAL.
WE FIGHT FOR A FAIR EMPIRE.
ARE YOU A FRIEND OF FREEDOM ?
 

Danton Patreus

A.Lavigny Duval

Aisling Duval

Zemina Torval


Once the message and its all-too-loud music have passed, a text box appears on your communication panel;


It seems you have to choose a side following this abstract question:

Password:

Once you've completed this step, move on to the next. 


The path to freedom


After choosing your answer, your communication panel blurs and another message appears:


THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATION FORM FLI


We knew we could count on you CMDR. There are always people ready to fight for a good cause!
Your targets and goals will be sent to you soon, so act fast and hit hard!


FOR FREEDOM !


After just a few minutes, time to get to the nearest spaceport to prepare for what you've gotten yourself into, you receive a file.

> NOTES:

 

- We know that the FLI demands a lot from you, but know that no one is innocent and that your target is an Imperial slave labor camp. By silencing this camp, you'll be sending a clear message to the Empire. Not everyone will understand our actions, but we're doing it for the common good;

 

-- Message Completed | 'Sweat spares blood' --


There's no turning back, you're too committed to back out now.
After reviewing your mission order, you suit up, grab a nightcap at the bar and head for the hangar. 


Select the planetary coordinates of your target -- Usdia 5 g 


Your destination is set, you start your ship and take off. Once in orbit around the planet, move on to the next step.


Once you've completed this step, move on to the next. 


Sweat spares blood 



Once out of hyperspace and in orbit around your destination, you receive an encrypted communication. The signal is quite weak, but you manage to amplify it.


Strange, the message doesn't seem to be pre-recorded...


[--- Power > : > weak signal ---]


I knew we could trust you, Commander. If you complete your mission and come out of it unscathed, I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again;

There's a long way to go before we can create a fairer world. 
Good luck, we'll look forward to seeing images of your exploits on the imperial channels and what comes of it.


And don't forget to sign your deeds by announcing FLI in the coms!


-- Communication Completed | 'Sweat saves blood' --

[--- Error : Signal interrupted ---]

[--- Estimated emission range : 207.71ly/203.67ly ---]


The station is in sight, so you know what you have to do...


Once you've completed this step, move on to the next. 


Signed in blood



The job's done, your assault has been swift and effective, and as you step over the bodies of your victims.

You head for the door of the security control room.


You finally arrive in front of the base's communications console, near security data port N°1, so all you have to do is transmit what you've been asked to on the general channel.

Now that your deeds are signed, all you have to do is pick up the Generator's Power Regulator and go. 


Your mission is accomplished CMDR, a wind of freedom blows across your sweaty forehead. Hands still trembling, a single phrase comes to mind: 

'Sweat saves blood, but blood writes freedom'.
