The Free Fleet was a legendary mercenary organization that was the premiere outfit of its type for hundreds of years. The Free Fleet is a conglomerate of alien races with unknown origins or goals lead by Commander [[Mezer Juul]]. The fleet happened upon [[Earth]] while in pursuit of a race of beings called the [[De'rem]]. | |||
While the De'rem were somehow able to "hide" Earth from the Free Fleet, the penal [[Colony|colony]], [[Callisto]], was captured. The fleet intended to sell the inmates to other races and 300 of the original 1600 were before a [[Vendal]] attack gave the remaining [[Humans]] an opportunity to show their value as soldiers via their tenacious survival instincts. The commander offered the survivors a choice between a 20 year contract in the Free Fleet or to be "dumped into space with the next load of garbage. The surviving Human inmates eagerly accepted and with Free Fleet training and the leadership of Captain [[Maddox Khan]] and [[Akari Lane]] made a name for themselves as [[Omega Company]]. | While the De'rem were somehow able to "hide" Earth from the Free Fleet, the penal [[Colony|colony]], [[Callisto]], was captured.
