 Nepleslia is their chief trading partner, and in return they actively protect DION's interests with the Free State. This of course has caused them to be accused of being a simple puppet organisation, seeking to assimilate their culture entirely, but the truth is much murkier in reality. Nepleslia is their chief trading partner, and in return they actively protect DION's interests with the Free State.

 They rarely cite missions outside of Nepleslian space, mostly in order to achieve the maximum benefit from the superpower's protective fleet, but individual associated ships are of course known to act on their own impetus. The only locations that they actively defend are small temporary asteroid bases, with the rare larger installation such as the one that is set up on Port Hope. They rarely cite missions outside of Nepleslian space, mostly in order to achieve the maximum benefit from the superpower's protective fleet, but individual associated ships are of course known to act on their own impetus.

-Contrastingly, they are one of the most vocal forces currently operating on the polysentience, able to bend the ear of the masses, even if they lack the specialized electronic warfare skills of the [[freespacers:hacker_cult|Hacker Cult]].+Contrastingly, they are one of the most vocal forces currently operating on the polysentience, able to bend the ear of the masses, even if they lack the specialised electronic warfare skills of the [[faction:freespacers:hacker_cult|Hacker Cult]].

-Formed in the continuing political turmoil of YE 36, particularly relating to the theft of military technology by the Astral Locksmiths from [[system:null_and_void|Null and Void]]. Many of their initial members were syntelligences working on various far-fetched super soldier programs that could be used in support of the Nepleslian Star Military, as well as some of the ex-[[faction:iwl:iwl|IWL]] technicians originally responsible for fitting such organisation's weapons onto pre-existing technology like the [[freespacers:phantasm_2|Phantasm Gunship]].+Formed in the continuing political turmoil of YE 36, particularly relating to the theft of military technology by the Astral Locksmiths from [[system:null_and_void|Null and Void]].

 Their relatively small operation grounds was established by all of the heavy weapons and armor plating their ancient ramshackle vessels are now lumbered with, making them somewhat less than independent in terms of maintenance and upkeep. This was only worsened by the fact that they now no longer have access to the ley line system, making their fleet movements quite cumbersome and disorganized. Their relatively small operation grounds was established by all of the heavy weapons and armor plating their ancient ramshackle vessels are now lumbered with, making them somewhat less than independent in terms of maintenance and upkeep.

 +By [[timeline:ye_41]], their political independence has become severely threatened by the bankrolling and food resource clout of the [[faction:freespacers:wire_guided]]. There are many organics in the organisation who still believe that piggybacking off of Nepleslia is their best bet for continued personal independence, however, as the de-facto leaders of both the other factions are actually machines of one form or another.

 +In support of the Nepleslian response to [[timeline:events:kuvexian_invasion_of_ye_41]], the renowned manufacturer [[characters:npc:hollowpoint|Hollowpoint]] was appointed as an unofficial "fleet quartermaster" in command of the mothership "Steel Liberty", in charge of more than 4000 specifically reorganised militia members. Though seen by a risky move by many, the intention was to strengthen connections with their new homeland, and learn fresh combat tactics from their more experienced planet-dwelling brethren in the process.

 They all have mixed organic/automata crews, exemplifying the original intentions of the Free State, literally because they have integrated into that framework, rather than creating new resources. It is often impossible to tell if actions committed in their name are even necessarily performed by vessels officially registered as part of the organisation, and thus their 'active numbers' obviously hold a lot of variance over time. They all have mixed organic/automata crews, exemplifying the original intentions of the Free State, literally because they have integrated into that framework, rather than creating new resources.
