Editing Mastia (section)

====Operation Liberty Shield====
Following the return of the {{Illuminate}}, the xenophobic aliens launched a campaign against the federation's southern front, the greatest casualty of which was our citizens' sense of safety. They fear their colony will be next to be attacked, or that their loved ones will be twisted into the Voteless. They trust the Helldivers to protect them, but against this enemy, firepower is not enough on its own.

To restore our citizens' sense of safety, the '''[[Federation of Super Earth|Super Earth]]''' Government unanimously voted to enact the Freedom & Readiness to Enable Effective Defense & Obstruction of Mind-Influence Act of 2184, or FREEDOM Act. The FREEDOM Act gave the Ministry of Unity the tools it needs to keep our citizens safe from external and internal threats. It will create a new security force dedicated to loyalty enforcement, and empower them to find and interdict {{Illuminate}} mind-influence, dissidence, and other serious crimes.

To ensure these tools are use to maximal effect, the Act additionally authorizes construction of the '''Center for Citizen Surveillance & Safety''' on Mastia, which at the time was occupied by the Automaton Legion, making it certain to be free of traitors. In addition to giving the Federation's citizens a new sense of security, it would also allow the containment of {{Automatons|Automaton}} influence, which had spread unabated in the weeks following the {{Illuminate}} return. That changed with the success of Operation Liberty Shield, with Mastia as well as nearby [[Gaellivare]] and [[Tarsh]] all liberated.
