	Freelancers are, as the name suggests, mercenaries who fall under no preexisting corporation or government. Although some may have ideological leanings, a large amount are simply in it for the money; whoever pays issues the orders, and if they don’t pay, you don’t help. Despite that, mercenary groups can encompass people from across the galaxy, who may hold widely different views, beliefs, and codes from other Freelancer groups, or even other members of their crew. After all, Freelancers are not a single, unified group, but rather a hundred or more different mercenary crews.

After all, Freelancers are not a single, unified group, but rather a hundred or more different mercenary crews.

	Because Freelancers are independent, they often lack any forms of financial support, living job-to-job to supply themselves and their vessels. Life on a Freelancer ship is often cramped and challenging, but for some this is a far more preferable alternative from following the hierarchies of the superpowers~~, WEYA,~~ or VAI. This has led to many freelancers considering themselves as the one truly free people, beholden to no master but their own.

	Unless a mercenary group happens to hold allegiance to one particular power, a vast majority take any well-paying job offered to them. The nature of these jobs varies, ranging from being hired by Governments or Corporations to attack their rivals, to taking assignments to protect shipping lanes and local colonies from pirate attacks. Freelancers themselves may not be against using less scrupulous means to keep food on the table, but very few will break contracts so long as they’re paid.
