Faction: Freedom

Freedom, like Duty, is a paramilitary faction. However, the similarities end there. Best described as a ragtag motley crew of anarchists, scientists, mercenaries, as well as stalkers discouraged by Duty and the Army's suppression of the Zone, Freedom stakes out its goal as a Zone free to all to explore and discover. Freedom is supplied by the mercenary faction with weapons, and maintains a shaky truce with the secretive organization despite past misgivings. Freedom remains of neutral affiliation with loners and bandits, although it actively recruits members of both stalker groups.
