===Original Free Capella===
The original Free Capella was formed in [[2320]]. It was formed by citizens and soldiers of [[Capella]] during the [[Terran Hegemony|Terran Hegemony]]'s occupation of the planet. Initially an underground organization for the first years of the occupation, it conducted guerrilla operations against Hegemony troops. This organization continued to harass and attack Hegemony troops until 2335.<ref>''A Guide To Covert Ops'', p. 102: Free Capella - Original Free Capella history.</ref>

In the 3030s the Free Capella movement made use of propaganda via the Free Capella Network.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 12: Saint Ivan</ref>
 
 
 
The Free Capella movement was an anti-[[Sun-Tzu Liao]] organization founded by [[Tormano Liao]] during the reign of Sun-Tzu's mother [[Romano Liao]]. It sought to overthrow the Chancellor of the [[Capellan Confederation]] and place Tormano on the throne.

Although it was originally founded as a military organization that actively recruited amongst native Capellans, it gradually grew and evolved so that by the time of the fall of the [[St. Ives Compact]], its goals centered on relief and aid efforts to Capellan citizens. This became especially pronounced after the death of Tormano Liao, as he was considered to be one of the main driving forces behind the Free Capella movement's militaristic stance. Treyhang Liao was groomed by his father to take control of the movement, but did not wish take control.

It was only through the prompting of Blackwind Lancers' commander, Warner Doles, that Treyhang finally took the reins.  However with this power, Treyhang attempted to take the movement in a different direction.

After the ''Xin Sheng'' campaign, Free Capella was thought to have killed ''[[Sang-wei]]'' Tyler Alban, a MechWarrior with the [[3rd McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]. The ''Sang-wei'' was notorious for inflicting heavy civilian casualties during the fighting to vent his frustration at the many rear-area duties he was assigned. His mutilated body was found in his quarters after the peace agreement was signed between the St. Ives Compact and the Capellan Confederation.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p. 34</ref>

With the death of [[Treyhang Liao]] at the hands of Blakist troops on October 31st [[3070]], his aides read his final instructions which read that they were to dissolve the Free Capella movement. The bulk of the movement's forces rejoined the Confederation, fighting in their armed forces during the [[Word of Blake Jihad]].<ref name=JHS3072p25>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 25: "Timeline ''Mandrinn'' Liao dies and his will orders the dissolution of the movement".</ref>
