Overview[]
Freedom[]
Freedom (or "Volya" meaning "will" in Ukrainian/Russian) is a paramilitary faction of ideologically motivated, initiative stalkers illegally operating in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Therefore, they often find themselves in a direct conflict with the Zone's authorities, their ideological opponents and rivals such as Duty, The Monolith, Mercenaries and Bandits. However, they are neutral to Free stalkers, scientists and are accepting of former members from all factions. The faction's goal is to prevent government cover-up of the zone or anyone gaining monopoly over its resources and intel, they believe further research and open access to the zone and its resources and secrets would be a great benefit to humanity. They do not believe the Zone should nor could be destroyed. Anarchist in ideology and with members openly indulging in alcohol and marijuana, Freedom stalkers are often derided as mutant-loving hippie potheads by their main rivals in Duty, whom they regard as a clan of jarheads who see nothing, hear nothing, and know nothing except how to pull a trigger.
Lukash[]
Lukash is the leader of the Freedom faction during the events of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, and is among the group's initial cofounders. Lukash became the leader of Freedom some time after his predecessor, Mikluha, set off for the Red Forest with a squad of Freedom stalkers and was presumed dead. Under his rule, the faction fortified its positions in the Army Warehouses, most notably taking over the Barrier and establishing a strategic outpost there, to defend the area from endless Monolith onslaughts. Under his leadership, Freedom ceased to actively fight Duty. While relations were still hostile between the two groups, both Lukash and General Voronin were reluctant to continue the war, as it would weaken both factions for no real benefit. Another factor was that Freedom took it upon themselves to maintain the Barrier and defend it from mutants and Monolith fanatics attempting to breach it. In spite of this, a Duty elite detachment led by Colonel Skull attempted to carry out an assassination mission on Lukash. When Strelok shut down the Brain Scorcher, opening the road north, Freedom sent a large, elite detachment of troops to scout and secure Pripyat. As Duty did the same, the two forces clashed in the Red Forest, neither willing to step back. This resulted in the first major engagement between the factions since the war in 2011. The two factions would continue to fight against each other and Monolith fanatics in the ruins of Pripyat, for the control of the city.
Dawn of Man[]

Greetings, brother Lukash, commander of Freedom! One of Freedom's founders, you and your fellow STALKERs saw the truly special nature of the Zone, a place free from authority with the power to change the whole world. Those unthinking jarheads in Duty think they could destroy it, but fail to see its true nature as you do. Seeking peace but prepared for war, Freedom took on all challengers, from authoritarians to fanatics, never surrendering the fight for mankind's future. Taking power after Mikluha disappeared into the Red Forest, you negotiated a cease-fire with Duty to focus on holding The Barrier against the threat of the Monolith pushing south.
Lukash, the world is changing once again, and Freedom looks for a strong-willed commander to lead them to victory. Will you crush those who would crush the common man under heel, and secure a truly free Zone for generations to come? Can you build a Civilization that can stand the test of time?
Introduction: Why are you here, stalker? This is Duty's territory, and we won't tolerate troublemakers.
Defeat: The spirit of Freedom will never be extinguished from the hearts of men!
