 The [[species:freespacers]] re-established contact with the known galaxy in [[timeline:ye_30]] after centuries of isolation in deep space. Their heavy reliance on automation and AI technology meant that their society had given machine intelligence equal status as individuals. The rest of the galaxy, however, had not. Some of the more radical idealists among the Freespacers formed [[faction:freespacers:guild]], an egalitarian organization that sought to emancipate at first just AI, then eventually all sentient beings, throughout the known universe.
-Their first major undertaking was the usurping of crime syndicates throughout the Nepleslian and independent worlds. This was primarily intended to establish a source of income for the Guild, by means of taking over smuggling and racket operations of the crime syndicates they displaced. However since the Guild's [[faction:freespacers:militant]] enforced a zero-tolerance policy towards non-Guild criminal operations, the number of petty and violent crimes plummeted in Guild-controlled sectors (at least as compared to those controlled by crime syndicates). For this reason most planetary governments tolerated and even encouraged their presence, as it saved them the considerable resources of having to police these sectors themselves. Local populace, too, often found the drop in violent and petty crime to be preferable alternative.

 [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]], however, claimed that such operations on the widely known "pirate planet" of [[system:halna]] was in violation of their territorial sovereignty and used this as a [[wp>Casus_belli|casus belli]].
