BASES - DAMIEN MORRETI

DISCLAIMER: These are Morreti's thoughts on the various Xeno bases scattered around Liberty. Known only by XA- members that are above the rank of hatchling.

Fort Ramsey

"Ramsey's my kind of place, chews up the weak and ineffective and spits out the strong and talented. Only problem is that most of the people based there tend to be unnecessarily uptight, and the regimental charm is entirely lost on me. As far as getting a job done is concerned, they often yield the best results. They also house the XAF, Xeno Assembly and Fabrication workshops. Responsible for the production of guns and in the future ships of our own design. The Fort is also a testament to what the movement is capable of when brought together in a concerted effort, something the Alliance makes possible."

Ouray

"One of the original radical enclaves and it shows. They're an odd blend of thrill-seekers and absolute madmen. Hellbent on sticking it to both Liberty's Government and foreign influence. Historically, Ouray has been the producer of our more well-known aces. I visit quite regularly, using it as a rest-stop when heading back to my main office on Fort Ramsey. Ouray typically has the best booze on tap, and it also facilitates our growing grip on the artifact market.

Nome

"Nome is home to a reclusive bunch of insurgents. Equal parts shrewd and malevolent. They mostly target Kusari shipping, using whatever they can loot to barter with the local zoners. Their arrangement is what keeps the station up and running. They aren't the most social or the most combat hardened, but they cooperate."

Beckley

"Stacey was an idiot. Went ahead and threw an armada into the blender and had little to show for it. Of course he died too, otherwise I'd have probably killed him for being a loose cannon. Anyone left there has hunkered down in hopes of being able to go unnoticed by the resident forces. They don't communicate with the Alliance much, but they've recently been proving more compliant. I plan to turn the place into a safehouse of sorts to facilitate meetings with our sympathizers and benefactors."

Barrow

"You might not think it, but a good portion of the people identifying themselves with the political movement of the Xenos see themselves as vigilantes. And they act like it. When Planetform walked into Hudson, they got thrown the hell out and refused to return until Liberty cleared out the Xeno presence. This marked both the birth and the death of the Liberty Free Republic, a movement that intended to properly embody Liberty's ideals without all the pandering to foreign interests. It still exists, but their dreams of independence failed when the Rio Grande came crashing through the system. Barrow's a crowded hub these days, focused on massacring local rivals and Rheinland shipping. It still boasts a population of vigilantes, who are quite useful in swaying public opinion. Though their convenient moral codes make them difficult to negotiate with."

Milford

"Milford houses the meekest bunch of Xenos I've ever met. They never really commit to hostile actions, but they're a sincere and hardworking bunch. They do a lot of the legwork as far as sustaining the logistic end of our operations is concerned and act as fences for a substantial share of Liberty's artifact market. I planned to expand their operations with the Hallam project in cooperation with the IMG, but that venture has since crashed and burned thanks to an overly aggressive Guildmaster."
