Quote: I have a few questions, purely for my own information, so I can understand better the motivations and specific aims of The Star Fraction.
Quote: We want free and open universe where every individual is a sovereign individual.
I nice idea. One question (and it's an honest enquiry before anyone feels the need to roundly defame me): in such a society, who defends the weak, the helpless and those too inexperienced to defend themselves?
The basic idea behind this is a free and sovereign individual is 'strong' and has no need to oppress the 'weak'. You can not become free without being self-sufficient and therefore strong, neither can you become free if you do not bear responsibility for your actions and governing yourself, and therefore do not oppress others.
Quote:
Quote: We expect to achieve it through leading by example and striking against the strongholds of archaic traditions which hold back the humanity.
Such as? What organisations would come under this banner? Does the Star Fraction consider all faction-based organisations inherently against their ideology?
Organizations like CVA, KD, CYI, almost every frontier alliance would present valid targets. However not every faction-based organization follows the old imperialistic doctrines. U'K, Black Rabbits, IU, The Sani Sabik, while do not directly reflect our ideology do not directly oppose the free space ideas by oppressing others and supporting the 'old order'. As you can see, we do not consider every faction-based organization to be our enemy. If there is a room to compromise we are always happy to.
Quote:
Quote: Those who actively attempt to limit freedom of others and spread imperialism, nationalism and other regressive concepts are dealt with (forcibly if needed) when and if possible.
Again, this would require some clarification. It's a very vague term, which leaves considerable latitude when it comes to interpretation.
A hypothetical scenario:
A corporation is based in a specific constellation within an empire. The corporation views it's main role as defending that area of space from pirate incursion, in order to defend those within the constellation from possible attack (although will not interfere with sanction wars). The other inhabitants of the constellation do not "owe" the corporation anything, and the corporation does not have (or desire) any control over any inhabitants of the constellation. The corporation does not hold control over any resources within the constellation. The corporation is not hostile to any corporation/faction, other than those entities that attack it, and pirate factions who prey upon those who cannot defend themselves. The corporation does intend to expand it's area of operations further ie. is non-expansionist.
Under those (hypothetical) conditions, would the corporation be considered valid as a target for the Star Fraction?
They would not be considered a valid target in my eyes. They are involved in anti-pirate activities as a private business, not in the name of some empire or other. While we do not consider pirates valid targets until they attack us first, it is natural to defend against the threat.
However such corporation would be making a mistake by trying to defend the weak, because it would not be doing them any favors by encouraging the passive behavior and dependency. Helping someone when they are in need is one thing, making yourself a police force is quite another. But this falls under the compromise section.
P.S. For everyone, wardec or keep on topic!

Quote: I asked earlier if the Star Fraction supported piracy. Garreck answered for them but I never heard from anyone from the Star Fraction. These black rabbit people I have read about are camping gates? That is the action of a pirate. And didnt Star Fraction just align with them in another war? If they are gate camping I assume Star Fraction will be wardecing them immediately to defend the concept of freespace? Anything else would appear hypocritical.
Black Rabbits do not camp gates with intent to claim space. Free space is called so because it if free for everyone, pirates included. Everyone should take care of their own defenses, and we are no police force to decide who deserves free space and who doesn't. If BR attacked us we would be shooting them as well, but this isn't the case.
