THE ESSENCE OF FREEDOM

There are those who believe freedom is an inherent right of all people, no matter their race, creed, or corporation. This is an unwavering truth. So why do people of other corporations allow themselves to be draped in social and economic chains? Because they have proven unwilling to fight for their rights. They have let themselves become weak and accepted the rule of bullies and thieves. Not Capitol, though. Capitol is embodied by the eternal war for freedom, which began when the Pioneers first loosed their rockets and soared up from the dying earth. Capitol recognizes that any doubt or hesitation will result in nothing less than domination – if not annihilation.

The only annihilation Capitol will ever accept is when the last of its citizens perishes on the battlefront, guns and blades clutched in frozen hands and faces locked in rictus grins of defiance. While Capitolians enjoy unparalleled luxury, none pretend the grave does not await them, and the most honourable way to end any life is in a blaze of fiery glory, with the forces of darkness trampled underfoot.

Capitol was born in war. It has been forged through war, and it will endure through all those that may come. At its heart, Capitol is conviction. Capital is commerce. Capital is unconquerable.

CAPITOL’S HEROIC LEGACY

Capitol’s history is a grand tale of heroes rising above the mud of the masses to forge a bright path through the darkness that threatens humanity. Anyone who chooses to ignore the battle Capitol has been embroiled in is either a fool or a Heretic. The fact is that throughout the centuries, Capitol has always been first and foremost when it comes to guiding humanity into greatness.

First to Luna and to Mars, Capitol was first to give humanity its foothold among the stars, rather than squabble back on Earth. It was first to transform a world and mine the vastness of space itself. Not only that, but when treachery reared its hideous head and unleashed evil upon the worlds, Capitol was the first to ally itself with the Brotherhood and lead the march against the Dark Symmetry, in all its forms.

Now Capitol holds firm in the face of even the worst terrors. With the Light to guide the people, no enemy will remain forever. With heroes of freedom leading the march, none can stand in Capitol’s way.

CHAPTER 01

IntroductIon

FREEDOM AT ALL COSTSPAY THE PRICE

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM“Are your dreams big enough to span the solar system?

Do you revel in the promise of glory and honour? Do you want everyone to know your face, to whisper

or cheer your name, or march behind you into the fray?

When you are part of Capitol, you can have all that and more.

But here is the catch: there is always a price. Nothing comes free, not even freedom itself. Everything is bought and paid for in blood, sweat, and tears. Capitol descends from the

earliest Pioneers, who planted the proud flag on Luna and survived through everything that has come since, from the

first Dark Legion invasion to the current bloodshed at their hands. And it shall continue to prevail!

In Capitol, you can do whatever you want, be whoever you want, and, yes, kill whoever you want

– and then hopefully have enough guts and grit to accept the consequences, whatever they may be.

Are you up for the challenge? Because no one else is going to meet it for you.”
