Described by many as a rag tag group of pirates, criminals and wannabe revolutionaries, the [[Lore:SolFed#Libraea\|Libraen Federation]] has designated them as a terrorist organization. Since the BLF is targeting one of SolFed's biggest member states, they have received a lot of support from {{TooltipInline\|foreign powers\|The Syndicate, serving as the front for many who are interested in Libraen failure for economical benefits, is largely suspected of being that foreign power. The only evidence being "misplaced" goods with suspicious blood red paintjobs.}} that grew them into a formidable insurgency. While direct confrontation with the [[Lore:Libraea#Military\|LFAF]] isn't successful, they're instead trying to liberate the many colonies and nations which are under Libraen occupation which only results in casualties and destruction at the moment. They're widely known for their use of cybernetic enhancement to give them an edge against the elite Libraen soldiers. Their main issue with the current Libraen government is their continued indifference to extreme corporate exploitation outside of the [[Lore:Libraea#Astrography\|Libraea's home system]] which includes an intent for an independent Libraea as many within the BLF fault SolFed for this failure to act against corporate greed.

			* SolFed goes out of its way to defend existing member states, using Marshals to put down local rebellions, even when the member state really has it coming. Marshals have been used in this way to directly brutalize citizens, at the behest of the member state.

			** This is in direct contrast to how they handled the period of civil wars following the [[Lore:SolFed#First_Migration\|First Migration]], where too much was happening at once for SolFed to meaningfully pick sides, and so SolFed helped no one and nearly dissolved. Now, they aggressively stamp out turmoil before the rising rebellion can be sizeable enough to legitimize a choice.

			** Oh yeah, folk hate SolFed for doing nothing during the First Migration civil wars, but that was a fair bit ago, so these haters aren't taken as seriously as those with more modern issues.
