The Free League
"Unity is strength."
The Free League organizes the small actors on the otherwise Consortium-dominated market. Having access to a skilled workforce in spaceports and souks, they offer a service the Consortium cannot.
When it comes to free traders and markets outside of the core systems, the League is practically in a monopoly position. The risks compared to the calculated profit are too great for any of the major Consortium companies to get involved. The League runs several auction houses and souks in the outer systems, as well as a few on both Kua and Coriolis.
No other faction is as open about its membership as the League – counting official members, the Free League is the Horizon’s largest faction.
Public Agenda
The current goal for the League is to keep its control of the outer markets, and to improve the living conditions of its members.
History
The league was originally created as a counterweight to the Consortium, but had no way of competing in the beginning. They tried to perform the same functions as the Consortium, but have over time changed their attitude towards nurturing a more symbiotic relationship instead. The fact of the matter is that without the League’s deckhands, pilots and engineers, all of the Consortium’s ships and haulers would wait in dock, their cargo unloaded, and without the free traders, Consortium commerce wouldn’t reach as far out on the star arms as it does. In the shadows, both parties are still trying to out-maneuver the other, however.
