Free Drudge

The Free Drudge is an organization in Conduit 2. They were originally Drudge warriors, mindlessly following The Trust. But after Michael Ford destroyed the Trust Base, some of the Drudge broke away from The Trust and formed the Free Drudge, a group dedicated to fighting The Trust. They then referred to Ford as the "Liberator".
