Liberty Security Force

A lawful faction of Liberty

## Background

The Liberty Security Force (LSF) is the intelligence branch of the Liberty Armed Forces, operating in secrecy to ensure the free flow of goods and services in the Liberty economy. They are chartered with providing the Liberty government with the information they need to make informed decisions regarding national security matters, serving as Liberty's eyes and ears in Sirius.

Among their duties, the Liberty government has tasked the LSF with confiscating all Alien Artifacts in Sirius. Some of the other Houses are not as cooperative in this matter, especially Kusari, which has caused the LSF to take unilateral action at times to enforce the ban.  In this regard, the LSF operates as a sort of anti-smuggling agency, to include raiding wealthy private residences in search of Artifact collections.

They also conduct counter-smuggling operations or drug interdiction operations to help stem the epidemic of Cardamine addiction in Liberty. This includes using special operations teams ("LSF Dark Ops Shadow Teams") though in some cases, criminal factions such as the Outcasts are able to best them and in at least one instance, destroy them.

## Storyline

After Freeport 7 was destroyed, President Jacobi asked the LSF to start an investigation to find out what happened.  This was referred to as a "special unit within the Liberty Military" in the public news. They were put in charge because of potential involvement of The Order and were tasked with securing the wreckage, gathering evidence, and coordinating with the forensic teams in recovering and identifying human remains.
