Interspace is on hold for two requested write-ups, Daumann and the LPI. I've got started on the LPI and I'll throw up some copy for the Daumann one later.
Comments welcomed as always.
>>Okay folks this is a biggie, pay attention because this stuff could save your life. I tried to find an ex-LPI member of our movement, but would you believe we dont have any? So I did the next best thing and bribed an LPI officer to do it. Hes been quite thorough. 50,000 credits well spent.

Liberty Police Incorporated
By Tex Houston
No, that isnt my actual name, but if you think Im going to attach my actual name to this youre crazier than I thought. So a bunch of terrorists wants to know about the LPI, well heres the short version: We arrest scum like you, lock em up and throw away the key. Now the guy that asked me to write this said that wouldnt be enough, so Ive gotta give you the run down. Now I got shown the last two and Im gonna say this aint going to be like them, the LPI has no divisions, no subsidiaries. Its one corp. and it doesnt do much more than police and run prison stations. Of course being a corp. means that it exists to make money and lots of it. Now Im sure youve all seen the donut-munching jabber mouths in space but that aint the LPI, that aint the LPI at all. Now I dont know everything about the LPI but what I dont know Ive found out, mainly by using what leverage I have over folks to get the information.
So Ill start with the basics. Enjoy.

The LPI is split into five groups, one each for the House systems and Management. Management is the corporate side of things, all the paperwork and financial shenanigans ultimately go through them. The other four groups are the cops, of course not every man and woman in those areas is a cop some are Management, but you get the idea. The general consensus among the flatfoots is that Management is an ass, but we get on with our jobs and bring in the scum regardless.
Ill give them all a run-down
New York
New York is where the Headquarters of the LPI sits; as a result it generally has a higher concentration of officers than anywhere else in Liberty, with two bases here the LPI consider it an affront on their honour from anyone breaking the law here. Offenders are very likely to be shoved in one of the penal colonies for even the most minor infarction of the law.
Manhattan
LPI Headquarters, probably one of the five most well defended structures on Manhattan, the firepower the building itself can generate is nearly equal to a full sized battleship. The LPI likes to feel safe. Ignoring the monumental defences, the building itself is a majestic skyscraper emerging out of Manhattans corporate heart, the LPI paid an incredible amount to have Manhattans premier architect do the designs, and it paid off.
Headquarters is home to Management more than officers, officers tend to use the various blockhouses dotted through Manhattan, and the fighter jocks use Fort Bush. Not much actual policing goes in through the doors and the only thing that comes out is more quotas and targets.
One thing that does come out of Headquarters however is spin, lots of it. The LPI has an exceptional press corps designed to put a positive spin on absolutely anything, they can make the massacre of 300 kids on a school bus look like a birthday party. In fact because the LPI is a private corp. rather than a House department, it can afford to hire some of the best press officers in Sirius, and it frequently does.
>>Damn right it does, why just last week they managed to turn the death of 25 inmates into a riot rather than some LPI officer abusing the inmates with an electrified nightstick. Said officer was given a medical discharge and all his benefits remained intact.
>>Slammo!
Fort Bush
Lets got one thing straight before we start here, Fort Bush is home to Precinct 112, but it is not Precinct 112. Precinct 112, as some of you will already know, is where the LPI sends all its really stupid officers, the incompetents, the derelicts and the generally useless, however Fort Bush is also home of Precincts 111 and 113 two of the finest fighter squadrons the LPI has to offer. Fort Bush is the space based headquarters of the LPI and also contains the offices of the current Chief of Police Matthew Myers. Myers is well known for continuing his Liberator patrols whilst attending to the needs of the LPI squadrons.
Fort Bush is where the patrols and other fighter based happenings are planned for the whole New York sector. In fact its where an awful lot of orders are created for all the systems under LPI control. These are then filters to sector Headquarters and acted on or modified as needed for each systems particular quirks and needs. Matthew Myers heads up Fort Bush, having just recently been promoted after the departure of the previous Chief of Police, John Baxter. Its amazing the change thats come over him since leaving Precinct 112, my guess is hes been told the party line and told to keep to it.
>>Exactly, he was called to LPI Headquarters and given a good dressing down. No more incompetence from him, or hed find himself in Huntsville for treason.
>>Hammerstein
Colorado
Colorado has only one police base and its Denver, the LPI here have a lot more to worry about, given the amount of Xenos hiding out in the Silverton field. The general order against the Xenos is vape on sight. Other than the Xenos the Denver branch of the LPI has to deal with Rogues and Hackers coming out of Galileo, given LPI jurisdiction ends at the Colorado -> Galileo jumpgate there isnt much the LPI can do except repulse the invasions and hope they stay away.
The planetside duties however are somewhat easier, Denver is home to Libertys elite thusly most of the crime that goes on here is committed in the lower echelons of the city, well most of the crime that regular LPI deal with, the Financial Irregularities Office deals with fraud, insider trading and tax evasion, leaving the LPI to deal with the undesirables hiding out in the mountains and the occasional murder or kidnapping.
>>Lets get this straight, right now. These undesirables are the poor, the homeless and the dispossessed of Denver, Denver is the first port of call for most of the ex-cons that dont end up as Xenos or Rogues, they come looking for a new life only to find that Denver doesnt want them, they move to the mountains to find like-minded folks.
The LPI regularly run grab and bag runs into the mountains, clubbing down anyone not quick enough to get out of the way, loading the unfortunates into paddy wagons and ship them off to Houston and its factories.
>>Orange Queen
The other major headache on Denver is the Denver Research Institute, its the target of every group of psychos with a cause and the LPI is contracted to defend it, its newest defence systems are due to go online in 818AS but until then all the LPI can do is weather the storm.
California
California has three police bases: San Diego, Riverside and, of course, Los Angeles. But even though it has three its not heavily patrolled. California is the most lax of the four House systems, Los Angeles giving the whole Sector something of a bad reputation for general slacking. To be fair California doesnt have such a high proportion of civilian criminals as the rest of the House systems. Los Angeles is the only really inhabited planet and its crimes are few and far between.
Riverside Station
Riverside is the LPI fighter squadrons home base, close to planet Mojave and by association the NY jumpgate, Riverside allows the 204th and 205th Precincts easy access to almost all the troublesome spots in California space. Riversides performance is distinctly average however with recent attacks on Mojave by the Liberty rogues causing untold amounts of damage to the Liberty Navy, rumours of a counter attack abound.
San Diego Border Station
This is where you go when you mess up; its quite possibly Managements favourite place to store LPI officers that are too old or have just plain messed up. Not so bad they get demoted but bad enough to merit a punishment. San Diego houses 206th Precinct a precinct that ahs the dubious honour of flying mainly Patriot light fighters, unsurprisingly San Diego has the worst arrest record in Liberty, as the Lane Hackers out of Magellan are their only adversary and very cunning adversaries at that.

Okay that LPI stuff has been formally posted. I'm still working on it. If any of the corp factions want a write up done, feel free to request it, I'll do them in order of arrival. Donations are aprreciated but not at all necessary. Not like I don't have enough money.

After reading the reams of ZOMG KNF VERSUS GMG!!111!!!! Lolwut threads I can't think of any organization which needs a little backstory love to remind the unwashed masses, and a lot of Kusarians apparently, what that organization is all about.
*feedback will be provided upon completion of church
I will only be doing official factions with the permission of their faction leader and then only if I am given pertinent information to include, otheerwise the assumption is I can write anything I want and you'll like it.
For unofficial factions with an official request the same applies.

That is all for the history part of the GMG. A good write up of organisation and principles wouldn't be bad though just to have a place to point all those silly pixies to, the ones who claim that a war between GMG and Kusari would be at all planned or possible, despite the fact how ridiculous that notion is.
Whilst useful, you may notice these corporate things don't do history they do current shenanigans, so what I need is people and short bios as to who they are and what they do. Plus numbers regarding how many other peeps there are in command and some black rumours to spread around. The rumours are exactly that rumours, whether they are true, half-true or downright lies is up to the faction. But they are there to provide a little murkiness in a game which deals mostly in black and white.

Why I was highlighting it was that if there was to be a potential write-up for the GMG, that should be one of the articles to reference it from. GMG history was compiled almost entirely from ingame rumours, and is thus 99% true with the lore.
