I was explaining to a real life mate the difference between the two main EVE alliances.
I said BoB was like the evil empire in Star Wars; big ships, highly efficient and ruthless and very arrogant.
I said Goons were like the Reavers in Firefly. Thousands of members, lots of small ships, vulgar, rude and geeks.
My friend asked if there were any "rebels" like in Star Wars who are fighting for freedom in Eve. I said I do not know. Does anyone know a third choice?

There are "freedom fights"
Fateweavers, Ushra'Khan, Electus Matari, Independant Faction alliances.
But most of them are all fighting to free slaves from the amarr.
So in other words, they are evil.

For at least a year the most powerful group in Eve has been an alliance known as Band of Brothers, a self-appointed evil empire with the stated objective of taking over the galaxy. Against them is arrayed a motley batch of self-styled freedom fighters with names like the Red Alliance (mostly Russian), Tau Ceti Federation (mostly French), GoonSwarm (mostly obnoxious) and the Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate (mostly drunk).

CVA is no rebel when it comes to extending the hegemony of the Amarr Empire.
However, we are rebels in the sense that we reject the notion that 0.0 alliances must be NBSI. We champion the cause of NRDS. The spacelanes should be open to those who behave themselves.
At least, that's my view as a lowly grunt who is in no way empowered to officially speak on behalf of CVA.

rise are a lot like the rebels. much like rebels they successfully defended the icy planet of hoth for 10 months against tens of hostile alliances and they had to slice animals stomach open to find a new place to stay between the fragrant intestines (for a little while). |

The rebels are the NPC corp alt trolls. Coming by the hundreds, hoping against hope that they'll evade deletion, throwing logic and rules to the wind. They're free in ways that you and I can only imagine.

An attitude a lot of common players trying to break into the game appreciated deeply. Rebels in attitude, if not form. o7

So, CVA are freedom fighters now? Hm... You're confusing them with Ushra'Khan, by any chance?
In RP terms, CVA fight for the expansion of the oppressive and slave-holding Amarrian Empire (eventually, all over the universe - but for now, they'll content themselves with Providence). That hardly qualifies them as freedom fighters, I'd say.

In that Imperialist Slaver sort of way =P
But yeah, I guess you could call the likes of Ushra'Khan and Star Fraction 'freedom fighters'. However, there are really no good guys in EVE.
There is no 'black and white' I guess you could say really, but what really makes EVE special is that there really isn't any great deal of gray either. Just varying degrees of 'evil'.
Those who tell you they are being benevolent are just putting on a PR show to advance their own agendas. Bleak world, isn't it?

I belong to an underground organization called "Freedom Fighters for Pods" but since we are underground, you probably havn't heard of us. Most of us hide in corporations with names that involve death, destruction and evil means to hide our true movement.
Our movement is about freeing the poor little pods that are encapsulated by the evil, horrible, ghastly looking things often known as "ships". These ships keep the poor little pods captive, so we lend a helping hand to those pods, by freeing them of those ships.
So, in a sense, I am a freedom fighter, although, the pods speak a funny language, it seems the only things that ever come out of them is "ransom plz" or "u r getting war decced" the grand old "u r lucky im not in my carrier" and even sometimes "WE%@$^@$^@^@#%$#%@ pirate!"
One of these days, I need to learn that language....I think it's called "caring".
I hope this answers your question.

No its definitely like WW1. I mean it was called The Great War and surely it will end all other wars.

This pilot captured the true essence of CVA. Being NRDS doesn't make you a "freedom fighter"; especially if your NRDS policy is conditioned on location.
Pirates' freedom is curtailed by those devils in CONCORD; neither do pirates fight for others' freedom.
The Star Fraction is unique in that while we do not purport to fight battles for any one specific group, our fight is ideological in nature: fighting against the oppressive memetics of territorial, imperialist concerns.
