Slaves

[Lobster]

The Rogues are a product of over two centuries of systematic lower-class cleansing that occurred on the Liberty planets of Manhattan, Denver, and Los Angeles. Relocated to the Texas prison system, many of them end up planetside on Houston upon release. Some stayed straight and joined the population scratching out a living. The rest returned to their life of crime, often ending up vaporized by a pursuing Liberty police patrol or back in prison for longer stretches, manning the prison factories that are the economic lifeblood of the Texas system.

Some say the massive LPI roundups of even minor offenders in Liberty have more to do with staffing these plants cheaply than reducing crime. Fresh out of the incubator of the Texas prison system, they have limited choices. Either they work in the factories of Houston for a pittance, join the Bounty Hunters and hunt down their former brethren, go radical and hook up with the Xenos, or rejoin their former partners in crime. The latter path is the obvious one for most. Simply put, these are not-too-quick opportunists, people willing to do whatever it takes to make a buck and get by until tomorrow. Usually they end up taking the fall for anything illegal that occurs in Liberty, whether they were involved or not.

The officers arnt corrupt; the system is.

Its a shame to fight against having one of the only distinguishing features when it comes to Sirius wide police forces.

Everyone seems to want their faction to be the pinnacle of perfection. These days, its the enlightened few who have got past that urge to cleanse their faction into a Knights Templar that make this game have flavor.

I would like to appeal to the LPI present in this thread to take a good long look at how awesome it is to be unique, corrupt, and shady as opposed to a cardboard cutout of your everyday friendly neighborhood police.

(That being said, ye, its dumb to sell slaves on a prison station with the population of 6000. They should be sold on Houston)
