Elite Rebel Force
Template:Quote Template:PlayerFactionAndSquadron
Elite Rebel Force (ERF or ERFS) founded in 3303[1] is a Confederate Minor Faction and squadron aligned with the Federation and Zachary Hudson. Their native home system[2] is Altair, and the faction is home to mercenaries and bounty hunters alike.
The play style of the squadron is mixed, with a strong dedicated group in the PvP space playing into the mercenary role. These players lend their services to help Cmdrs. during community goals or in defense of their systems/factions.
The squadron has a strict Open Play only policy when it comes to Powerplay and Faction related activities (system defense, expansion, war, elections, etc.). ERF has the mindset that players should be fighting fair and square, face to face with enemies when it comes to these tasks.
The factions main languages are German and English

Squadron History
ERF started off as a mainly Xbox squadron in 3303 by Cmdr. Warlon Htims[3] with the purpose of creating a free haven for people away from the Empires reach to defend the archetype of democracy. For these reasons, the confederate form of government was chosen to ensure the greatest possible independence of a unit.[4]
The faction grew to over a 100 members on console, creating a community and slowly forming a bubble around their home system. Unfortunately, with the news of console support being dropped in 3308 Squadron Cmdr. Warlon Htims and Deputy Squadron Cmdr. BreechBangClear made the difficult decision to move the group to PC to make use of the new Odyssey DLC. With this, the loss of members was significate as many Cmdrs. were unable to make this transition.
Recruitment and a training program for new pilots became the next focus of ERF to regain the numbers lost, as many other veteran Cmdrs. already had their own established squadrons.
Current State
As of 3310, The squadron has member count of 65+ with new recruits joining weekly. Recently, ERF has a slightly less active role in PvP and community goals, since as of late they prides themselves in building up new pilots. Helping them become rounded commanders in combat, trading, mining, bgs, etc., building the Elite Dangerous community more in an attempt to curve the loss of players due to the steep learning curve.
