Mission Statement
"Long Island Station continues the proud tradition of the Liberty Navy in defending the citizens of Liberty. Commissioned in 819 AS, the facility stands as a stalwart bastion against the ever encroaching forces of enemies the Republic of Liberty faces."
Background
Long Island Station is one of the latest installations constructed by the Liberty Navy, but the installation's origins date back to the founding of Liberty as a House. Space travel had become commonplace when the Navy was established, primarily as a defense should internal or external war break out. As the bulk of the Navy's concern was internal defense, the first port of call was, of course, our capital - Planet Manhattan. The New York system is, by and large, the most active operations area for the Liberty Navy, and also one of the more populated areas for criminal elements like the Rogues and Lane Hackers. The Navy had long since operated satellites, defense platforms, and even small depots in Manhattan airspace to assist in its efforts as a peacekeeping force around the crown jewel of the New York system. However, with the third and hitherto most violent year of the Liberty-Rheinland War developing, as well as a sharp increase in criminal activity, it was deemed appropriate to upgrade the strategic capabilities of the Navy around Manhattan.
Long Island Station was commissioned by Admiral Jack Malrone in 819 A.S., with the project being overseen by Fleet Admiral David Hale. The installation began as a small outpost and drydock, meant to service smaller snubcraft and freighters. Equipped with a shield generator and storage for ammunition and logistics equipment, Long Island was only roughly as large as an Overlord-class. However, under the impetus of Admiral Malrone and LLS commanders assigned to the installation, it quickly grew to a fully equipped installation, including remote controlled LC-48 "Shillelagh" heavy anti-capital cannons placed at strategic points along the trade lanes entering and exiting Manhattan. Currently, Long Island is the second largest orbital facility operated by the Liberty Navy in New York, only beaten by Norfolk Shipyard. It is currently administered by the First Fleet Logistics Service, under the command of Captain Jack Boehm.

Docking and Commerce
Docking at Long Island Station is currently restricted to personnel of the First, Fifth, and Forty-Sixth Fleets. If you are the representative of any other organization that is seen as neutral or friendly to the Liberty Navy, you may request docking access and we will respond to you shortly. Security checks are mandatory for extended docking, and space may be limited depending on operational security. The Republic of Liberty retains the right to revoke all docking access with naval installations within the Republic for any duration, without prior notification or warrant.
With the addition of several cargo bays and autonomous production modules in 820 A.S., Long Island is capable of producing multiple prototype devices and equipment, of which some is available for limited commercial purchase. All equipment is available to be purchased by Liberty forces, including the Liberty Police, Liberty Navy, and Liberty Security Force, as well as Libertonian Corporations. Additionally, contractors with good standing to Liberty may also apply to purchase equipment. Any law-abiding citizen or visitor of Liberty may purchase equipment, but the Liberty Navy reserves the right to deny purchases if it feels the equipment may fall into the wrong hands. All purchases through this frequency must contain identification, reputation, and vessel information, or they will be instantaneously denied or ignored.
As of this transmission, the following equipment is available for purchase at the listed prices:
Long Island Station is maintained and monitored by the First Fleet of the Liberty Navy [LN].
