Although members of the Independent Miners Guild usually are very liberal people, there are some hardliners amongst them, who follow their own code and don't allow ethics or politics to stand in their beliefs.
Founded in 817 AS by Geoffrey Marshall, the Independent Abolitionist Force strife’s to cripple the never ending slave trade in the Tau and Omega Systems and help all those who have suffered under the bad treatment of their captors. The IAF also focuses on the safety and security of IMG holdings, civilians and Miners in its zone of operations.
The IAF also tries to help freed slaves to start new life’s, by either helping them to find their families, retrain and rehabilitate them or mediate them to other parties who have similar expertise in the treatment of these poor souls.
The enemies of the IAF are the Outcast Commonwealth, Daumann Heavy Construction and everybody who supports them.
Being structured like a regular military force and equipped with state of the art weapons and ships, the IAF sure can be called a (para-) military organization.
Due to the massive presence and forces of our opponents, the Outcasts, we decided to avoid using regular IMG and Zoner installations as our bases. Doing that, we hope not to draw too much attention on them and prevent retaliation strikes against these installations. Instead of using those, we base our operations from our Carrier group, which is well hidden in Nebulas and Asteroid fields and moved around regularly to avoid easy detection.
These ships are equipped to provide docking and repair facilities for our fighters and bombers and are supplied by our own transport and mining division as well as from subcontracted independent traders.
Summed up, our goals are:
• Stop the Slave trade, both Outcasts and Daumann’s
• Stop smuggling though our territory (check the ‘contraband policy’ section for more information)
• Keep Pirates, terrorist and the Hispanic nations away from IMGs bases and miners
• Help our allies whenever we can
• Protect the lives and belongings of innocent civilians
• Keep IMGs competitors at bay and harass their operations when we can

Policies towards smugglers of contraband
Cardamine: A byproduct of the Slave trade.
Counterfeit Software: Not our problem, let Ageira chase them down
Synthetic Marijuana: We don't want it coming our way, but If some Zoner wants to get high also not our problem
Blood Diamonds: That's not Contraband to us.
Artifacts: Not likely to be seen except by our traders and escorts. As of now they are just purple rocks that rich people buy to us. Future relations with the Corsairs may change this view
Black market munitions: Great more weapons for the fight against the Outcasts and their slavers.
Gaian Wildlife: We have little to do with the fight over Gaia, however should we stop a known slaver/cardismuggler that is running them, We will call on a Gaian to rescue them.
Human organs: If being shipped for humanitarian aid their will be allowed to pass. Human Chop Shops however will be treated as the same as slavers
Nomad Parts: Dangerous cargo, depends on the ship. If it is a legal research ship then they can pass, other ships may be infected so the cargo will taken and destroyed.
