The Mechanical Liberation Front, or MLF, was an organization set up as an off-shoot of the Coalition of Automaton Rights Activists, in the last decades of the Galactic Republic. The Mechanical Liberation Front was seen to be a more militant, even fanatical group than the Automaton Rights Activists, and its members, mostly highly-skilled technicians and mercenaries, were known to have staged many violent hit-and-run assaults against droid manufacturing corporations. Worse, the MLF planted bombs in the manufacturing plants of corporations like Industrial Automaton and MerenData.
