The Libera Isle

"A common mistake. Wealth does not result in power, power leads to wealth."

- Captain Volpes

The Libera Isle is a minor power that commonly operates within the Luminarian Rebellion. The Libera Isle was created 43 years prior to the independence of the Frontier as a trading company based in a merchant ship focusing on Xeno goods. Despite trade with Xenos being outlawed in the Empire, the Libera Isle had constantly disregarded the laws, venturing and trading with races such as the Aeveria and Betel. The Libera Isle profited from the high demand for advanced tech and resources in the frontier regions, which could only be supplied by the Libera Isle that obtained such commodities from outside the empire.

This has allowed the Libera Isle to build its influence with many frontier powers. Even more so when the Frontier had been granted its independence. The Libera Isle was credited with helping many minor frontier powers in the wake of the independence when crucial supply lines to these fledgling colonies were cut off. Many worlds within the far frontier sector owed their survival to the Libera Isle.

Although it's public face is that of a benevolent company, the Libera Isle can afford to be generous due to its powerful data collection capabilities. Information is commonly exchanged as the premier currency within the Libera Isle and as a result, the Isle typically employs experienced paramilitary task forces as means to their ends.

In the current day, the Libera Isle operates a 13km long city vessel, designed to accommodate 8 million within it. The ship is host to a wide variety of corporations, including non-luminarians, and is capable of manufacturing vessels from its forge holds. The Libera Isle is nominally associated with the Luminarian Rebellion, and routinely sends a delegation to the Grand Assembly.
