A war between two major factions, the Coalition and the Alliance, has been waged in the Earth's solar system for decades (see Starlancer for the video game based on this conflict). Eventually, the Coalition gains the upper hand and the Alliance, sensing defeat, builds a group of five colony ships in secret. Each ship represents one of the major members in The Alliance: the Kusari (Japan), the Rheinland (Germany), the Liberty (America), the Bretonia (Britain), and the Hispania (Spain). Fortunately, all five escape the Coalition blockade and head toward the Sirius sector carrying thousands of colonists. The original introductory video to the game, which was not included in the finished product, implies that Earth was destroyed by an alien power not long after the Exodus.

I never finished Starlancer, but according to this it still says the Coalition gained the upper hand. And even in the intro included with the game it says the Coalition gained the upper hand. So either Freelancer doesn't follow the Starlancer story completely or the tides turned yet again. The video posted here may be unofficial, but it still explains more and was the original idea for Freelancer.
