Which of you boys wants a frying next?

This is from my brother’s game called Freelancer, about a futuristic society in which some group flees from some giant war in the solar system, and then find a new galaxy and colonize it. There are representatives of five groups: US, Japan, Britain, Spain, and Germany. Now they’re called Liberty, Kusari, Bretonnia, Hispania, and Rheinland, respectively. Those were also, incidentally, the names of the colony ships that brought them there. So some random hotshot young Bretonnian pilot named Edison Trent (“just call me Trent”) is on a space station in Liberty Space when it is randomly attacked and blown up, well, seemingly randomly anyway.

Then he’s on the Liberty capital planet, and bumps into this young beauty. She’s from Kusari, but doesn’t sound like it, and anyway LSF stands for Liberty Security Force, so she’s now a Liberty citizen. She’s the second main character. She and Eddie (I call him Eddie, I’m so bad ^_^7) make a good couple. But there’s nothing in the game about a relationship… it’s purely a ‘boys blow stuff up’ game. Mixed up with sinister aliens trying to retake over the universe. That part reminds me of Independence Day (which I hated and was way too freaked out to watch, and it was playing on the bus taking St. John Ambulancers back from a first aid competition. Ugh.).

She’s also called Juni for short.
