The Lurker's Guide to Freedom Station (2e)
 |
Before there was a Babylon 5¸ before the League of Non-Aligned Worlds had a place to bring all their commerce¸ there was Tirrith Transfer Point Alpha. Years pass¸ wars are waged¸ and the station took on a new name - Freedom Station. Although not as popular as other stations¸ positioned far away from the core of the galactic governments¸ Freedom Station is a massively popular stopping point for a specific type of space traveller - raiders.
"This huge¸ slowly spinning cylinder of dense polymers and mass-produced alloys is home to over five thousand permanent residents of Tirrith¸ Hyach and a multitude of other species. At least¸ that is what the official census says. That number is roughly ten times too small¸ and those who commonly visit or stay on Freedom Station know the difference to what the records read and what is really going on.
"This book is a guide to the people and happenings of this controversial space station. It looks at the League's original version of the Babylon Project¸ how it failed¸ and where its new residents took it once they settled with the locals. Freedom Station is a powerful reminder that law and justice mean drastically different things depending on where in the galaxy you go¸ and who really runs the spacelanes away from the policing of the larger governments.
