Liberator (Individual JumpShip)

The Liberator was a privately funded colony ship purchased by the Bolivar Foundation in 2128.

History

Filled with volunteers from Spain and South America, the Bolivar Foundation purchased a commercial JumpShip from the McDonnell/Lockheed shipyard. On April 26, 2128, the Liberator prepared for hyperjump, beamed one last message to Earth and jumped out-system never to be seen again.

This disaster prompted the creation of the Colonization Procedure Referendum, all colonist ships to be escorted by the Terran Space Navy and other changes in Terran Alliance colonization procedures.
