What is the Lave Frontier Alliance?


The LFA was officially formed in 3303, November 4, upon the return of the CIUS Voyager, among many Anarchist Communist, Worker's Cooperative, Democratic Socialist and Democratic Confederalists/Municipalist (if anybody is familiar with Apo and Bookchin) factions/systems on the frontier of the Lave Sector. This includes clusters such as Unelinte, Rians, Wikehali,Kambarci, San Gu and 89 Centauri (Among others). Our goal is to spread Anarchism/Communism and Socialism on the frontier, outside of Alliance borders and to encourage the growth of new player groups. We aim to build an anti-fascist, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist democratic society, where all sentient life is valued, where no one starves, is left homeless or left to die of disease. Despite giving critique and criticism to the Alliance in the past, in particular Edmund Mahon, the LFA is inspired by the Alliance and would not be around if it where not for Mic Turner, Meredith Argent and actions taken by AEDC and allies in the liberation of Leesti. The LFA means to continue it's good relations with the Alliance, while building what the Alliance was meant to be, built on the ideals of independence, free association, democracy, socialism, human rights, freedom of thought, post-scarcity and ecology.


The LFA is a part of the Border Coalition and the GCU, associated with the CIU, though is currently only comprised of the ACLC, which acts as the gateway and orientation group for the LFA.

The Lave Frontier Alliance Charter


SEC1 – Independence
a) All systems and factions associated with the LFA do so by choice of free association,and are at any time welcome to leave the LFA without threat of force or annexation.
b) All systems are thus independent in their own right, and will never be ruled, dictated or governed by a centralized system wide or interstellar state structures.
c) Thus as being part of a mutually agreed upon alliance, no system is permitted to engage in acts of hostility against other freely associating members.
d) All members agree to non-hostility with allies of the LFA and agree to follow current treaties, including Manites/Alliance treaty and Oguninskmii Treaty and all others there after.




SEC2 – Freedoms
a) All systems and factions agree upon the outlawing of all forms of slavery, be it also imperial slavery or the all to common rental of human beings by corporations, wage slavery.
b) All peoples of the LFA are guaranteed an array of rights that are recognized as undeniable, those rights being/including freedom of association,freedom of thought, freedom of religion/spirituality, speech, right to their person, along with the rights to free food, housing,medicine, technology, education, justice services and the right to participate in direct democratic actions/associations, free from intimidation.
c) When this charter says free speech, it does not give way to hate speech or acts of violence against other peoples. In the common law hate speech and acts of violence related are illegal and may be acted upon by peoples, be it either the people's militias or victims of said hatred and violence.
d) The LFA recognisesthe right of armed insurrection, especially against Corporate systems, Dictatorships and NeoCon/NeoLiberal Demagogueries.
e) If there is ever a centralized ruling body over the LFA, the right to overthrow said body by the peoples of the LFA is recognized.
f) The abolition of all unjustified hierarchy is thus recognised.
g) Borders are not recognized, and thus all refugees are automatically granted asylum and recognized as full and equal peoples of the LFA.
h) The rights of sentient AI are recognised in the LFA.




SEC3 – Defence
a) The LFA opposes the liberal version of pacifism, the LFA will not ignore fascists nor condemn proletarian insurrection (although it agrees with anarcho-pacifism), but neither agrees with acts of hatred inspired terrorism or imperialist wars for control of resources and populations.
b) The LFA recognizes the right to use reasonable force against threats such as Fascism, Authoritarianism, Imperialism, Capitalism and in particular Slavers, inside LFA space and beyond such as the Federation and the Empire.
c) In such times of conflict, members of the LFA agree that peoples will not be spied upon, nor intelligence gathered and stored on the peoples, neither in times of peace.
d )The breaking of treaties by allies, other groups or even other LFA groups will be dealt with accordingly by LFA members.
e) All systems are permitted their own, well maintained and regulated people's militias. On the other hand systems and factions are not permitted to maintain their own military or police forces, and are recognized as being outlawed.
f) All members of the LFA are encouraged to act in solidarity of action when one or more members of the LFA are under threat.
g) The LFA agrees that it will not join AEGIS, neither will it engage against peaceful Thargoids. The LFA will defend it self against hostilities that are not human in origin, acts of genocide are though outlawed and against sentient rights.



SEC4 – Trade
a) Peoples will not be pressured into working for another, be it a person, a corporation or even a workers cooperative to fill demand, work is not a requirement.
b) Demand can be filled with automation, but will not replace meaningful work of others, nor will it make a profit for one person. Automation is collectively owned. Sentient AI cannot be made to fill demand.
c) Demands and Supply are post-scarcity based, nothing that is abundant can be sold for credit and thus available to all who need it. Only resources in scarcity can be sold in credit and the distribution of those resources determined by workers councils, thus the right of belt miners to sell rare materials is recognized.
d) In times of scarcity, LFA rights denies traders the ability to sell food, water and medicines to people effected for a profit, at extreme prices too (we mean that profiteers are illegal, we realize that you can or have to sell food at one of your stations to relieve a famine thanks to BGS mechanics). Traders are encouraged to take relief missions that will be compensated, by mission givers, usually in the form of either credits, cargo or engineering materials.
e) Worker Cooperatives are encouraged by the LFA, members of cooperatives are required to sign cooperative agreements between workers involved and are permitted and encouraged to form and join unions.
e) The LFA does not permit Cooperatives to (and extended to Corporations in LFA space) create, manufacture or grow produce or technologies that either deceive peoples of their true purpose, or harm users. Cooperatives (and Corporations in LFA space) are required to follow appropriate OH&S standards.
f) The LFA does not permit the selling of weapons for profit, neither the provision of weapons to powers that are hostile to the LFA and it's allies. Free and regulated distribution of weapons, systems and ships is permitted in LFA space and to it's allies.
g) Allies are permitted to participate in LFA shipyard initiatives and Cgs, as well as having limited access to Fleet Carriers depending on their status.
h) The development of AI for the sole purpose of military programs is outlawed.
i) Slavery, as detailed above in SEC3 and 2 are outlawed, the act of trying to sell or rent another sentient is deemed as an offence punishable with deadly force.
j) The LFA permits all it's pilots to equal access to the squadron resources and a free Sidewinder.


BGS and Powerplay
The LFA supports independent communists and cooperatives, including independent Democracies who's names might indicate they are Socialists.


How do I join up?
Membership with the ACLC, or an allied group, is required before gaining access to info on all LFA systems and holdings. Creating a group under the LFA requires either membership are notification before doing so.


Allies
Allies are welcome to come join the LFA discord, you will be assigned a Sympathiser tag. CIU members are though permitted full membership with the Comrade tag.

THE LAVE FRONTIER ALLIANCE
A SECOND ALLIANCE POWER AND AN ALTERNATIVE
Out here on the Lave Frontier I have been thinking about how useless power play seems to be, the only advantage being pockets of Yuri Grom space we can expand into thanks to their encouragement of Communist and Cooperative factions. However, some of these little bubbles while advantageous to the LFA, are too close to the Lave cluster, the only alternative would be to push a second power, one which benefited both Communists, Cooperatives and the neighboring Alliance. This is where a new PP alternative comes in, and also where an overhaul of PP and factions is needed.


A Recap, what is the LFA?
The Lave Frontier Alliance is a decentralised confederation of Libertarian Communist and Democratic Socialists, formed in 3303 on the edge of the Lave Cluster. The LFA's roots go back to the Leesti Uprising of 3302 against the tyrannic Justice Party of Leesti. Many Anarchists, Communists and Socialists throughout the Lave Sector volunteered to aid Leesti in it's fight against Fascism. The volunteers spread word of a successful revolution throughout the outer Lave Sector, inspiring many to defy their authoritarian and capitalist regimes. The struggle of the LFA goes back further to when the young worlds of the Alliance fought against the capitalism of the Federation and the Imperialistic Fascism of the Empire... a struggle which is sadly being forgotten and replaced
with a sweeter version of Alliance Capitalism.


The Lave Frontier Alliance takes to heart old Alliance principles, such as defiance, democracy and the socialist cause for an Anarchist and Communist post scarcity society. The LFA, as described, is a stateless confederation, where all members are independent and free to leave of their own volition. Inside LFA space, in Fdevs definitions, Communist, Cooperative and 'Socialist' Democratic systems are encouraged. Although Fdevs factions are limited, despite some vague differences between
Independent and Alliance/Empire Communist systems. The LFA thus supports most factions on the Libertarian Left, Anarchist Communists to Lib Marxists, De Leonists to Democratic Socialists
(including Workers Cooperatives, or as you just know them as 'Cooperatives'). The LFA though does not promote Social Democracy, Social Liberalism or Mutualism, but is friendly towards those faction types none the less and does try to radicalize them further. In the meanwhile we have to treat Elite Dangerous like a classic tabletop RPG where we end up having to compensate with our own rules. All members of the LFA have agreed to abide by the charter, which includes the rights to independence, sentient rights, insurrection and post scarcity. Unlike in the Alliance unfortunately, where an Alliance Corp might fight an Alliance Democracy (thanks to limited BGS mechanics), LFA members are refrained from using conflict to resolve issues between comrades, instead resolving to argument in people's parliaments and assemblies.


A Second Alliance power
The thought struck me before that Lave could be made a second alliance power, like Felicia Winters for the Federation, although an alternative has now cropped up. If there was a second Dangerous Games I would be pushing both independent and Alliance pilots to push for the realization of the Lave Frontier Alliance as a Power Play faction. What would be the benefits though, this is not
an Alliance power, though it does originate from the Alliance. The LFA, as it is allied to many Alliance player groups would thus have a beneficial 'alliance' with the Alliance (that sounds weird right?). It would promote Communist, Cooperative and Democracy governments in it's space, while fighting against Corporates, Feudalists, Patronages, Imperials, Dictatorships and 'Anarchy' factions inside it's space. But wait... all Democracies, the LFA supports Democratic Socialism, with current factions we
would also be supporting reactionary demagogues. Thus comes the need for enhanced faction types , which I will go into detail on later. The presence of an LFA control bubble near an Alliance bubble would help to fortify the Alliance bubble, despite being allergic to Communism, the LFA is contributing part of it's People's System Militia to maintain peace and security in these Alliance systems and control areas as per the agreement. The LFA can also take on Yuri Grom control bubbles that are spreading near Alliance territory, while also proving beneficial to members of the Border Coalition, including and especially the Communist Interstellar Union. Fortunately Yuri Grom has already laid the ground work for his demise.


A description
“Lave Frontier Alliance (no leader)
'While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free' -Eugene V Debs -Early 20th Century Earth
(We will be getting into some better PP mechanics here)

PREPATION


The LFA uses delegates, insurgents and independent pilots to radicalise systems it is preparing for
uprising, radicalization or membership.


COVERT


EXPANSION
When a system's revolutionaries receives enough support – they launch an uprising asking the LFA
for humanitarian and insurrectionist aid. The LFA provides support by sending in People's Militias
and Relief Convoys.
Otherwise the LFA will send out delegates to potential new members highlighting the benefits of
association.


COMBAT & SOCIAL


CONTROL


The LFA encourages it's state members to continually decentralize, turning states into people's
assemblies/parliaments. This and the strength of it's post scarcity economy is what keep the peoples
of the LFA content and the People's Militia armed against the continual Authoritarian attacks.


SOCIAL


Is effective in undermining: Corporations, Fascist Dictatorships, Propriatarian Democracies,
Anarchy factions, AnCap Corporations, Neo Conservative Democracies, Conservative
Democracies, Patronages, Feudalists, Imperialists.

(More factions as you can see)


What if there is no Dangerous Games 2?
All I need to say is Independent Power Play, finally implement game play features that give the independent factions leeway against super powers. I will go into this in further detail later.
(excuse me if the spaces in this have disappeared).

We found some Federation propaganda... we decided to fix it.

BREAKING NEWS
We report that a hostile Federation fleet has annexed Jaroahy. Jaroahy has been an important system in the outer lave sector, the population of 3.7 million has managed maintain it's independence until the full force of the Federation came down on it. We urge comrades to migrate to the area where they can continue the Guerilla war against this invading force. We will not tolerate the enslavement and oppression of our people by the Federation.
 
The inara page for People's of Rians has now been converted into the LFA front page:
https://inara.cz/wing/2792/
If you are interested in joining the LFA and eventually forming a group then join via the LFA inara. If you are interested in working closely with the Unelinte project then join the ACLC inara.
The LFA would also like to officially welcome the system of Omagua, 3.3 million people, to the LFA.
 
Graphic designers on the Frisia colony, Dijkstra have come up with a design in preparation for the Project Endurance anniversary on the 10th February. It is to be celebrated that the efforts of exploration and science would one day free Dijkstra from the tyranny of capitalism and Dijkstra Purple Power.
mkPD9OL.jpg

In 3301, on the 10th February, 2 FD Cobras piloted by CMDR DR Simms and Sid Solo would launch from Allen Platform Over the next 16 months they would circum-navigate the galactic centre. Upon their return the new 1000 Ly route plotter would be developed. It is fitting that yet another exploration would take place... this time by another commander. On the 22nd April 3303 CMDR 'Archimedes' RG House (ARGHouse, aka me), departed from Paulmier De Gonneville station, Unelinte, to Allen Platform, Dijkstra... were he would carry out final system checks for a long voyage to a distant galactic core Neutron Star. The commander would depart from Allen Platform in their Asp Explorer, known then as 'CIUES Kropotkin', named after a Russian naturalist and scientist, carrying Dr Mac Ortiz and his staff on a long voyage. They would arrive in the system on May 22nd, undertaking scans of the mysterious Earth like planet that orbits the star remnant. Unfortunately soon afterwards, on the voyage back, CIUES Kropotkin would attempt an FSD charge in a white dwarf jet cone, only for the FSD to have a random malfunction and the ship drop out inside. CIUES Kropotkin was destroyed, Dr Mac Ortiz and staff killed, along with the original Archimedes RG House. The CIUES Kropotkin would be reconstructed in Gagarin, where Archimedes RG House the II would be cloned. With unexpected determination, the new CIUES Kropotkin would make it's way to Colonia. Upon arrival in Colonia, the council had constructed an Anaconda spaceframe, named CIUS Voyager, in tribute to an ancient fictional vessel. Due to limited modules in Colonia, Voyager had a frameshift limit of 14 LY jumps at best, extending the travel time from weeks to months. It would be during it's long voyage to Dijkstra that the second route plotter updates would be installed, allowing it to plot long range routes up to 14,000 ly. On October the 31st, 3303, 12:00 PM, CMDR ARGHouse would return to Dijkstra, just as CMDR Dr Simms and Sid Solo had before. The vast amount of data gathered helped with the upgrades of CIUS, now LFAS Voyager's systems, thus helping to win the Dijkstra Revolution of November 3303.

(Yes, a version with Cobras, instead of ASPXs is coming)
Also thanks to comrade Mad Pinetree for the idea.

Lave Frontier Alliance lore time

Unelinte | Unelinte Revolutionaries
Unelinte is thus far among the oldest Anarchist Communist colonies in the outer lave cluster, and has remained independent to this day despite the constant traffic of commanders and occasional attacks from Dijkstra Purple Power and Bhutas. The system was colonised 2845 by disgruntled citizens and miners of Leesti, who were being exploited by the tyrannical Mastopolos Mining Corp. Some years later the system would come to be populated by a small amount of French speaking Lavians after Walden's Dictatorship, so to this day the language is a mix of Romanian and French. Unelinte is a well known refining and industrial system in the region, and has always upheld weekly people's assemblies, organised worker's unions and a well maintained people's militia. Unelinte has always been known for aiding it's Lave Cluster relatives in times of crisis, especially during the Lave and Leesti Revolutions, and lately the Dijkstra revolution of November 3303.

The name Unelinte comes from the Romanian word 'Unelint' meaning un-refined, and came to be known as Unelinte due to the rebellious nature of it's peoples and it's long standing refinery industry.
