The aftermath of World War 3 left millions dead and even more struggling to survive in the nuclear holocaust. Rising from the radioactive ashes, a new world order vies for control as Governments struggle to maintain law and order.Private Defense Organizations (PDO), made up of mercenary clans, provide bodies and firepower. Clans are hired for missions of all flavors – defending strategic locations, raids on research and technology and even as private armies. Only their individual code of honor and the reputation of the clans provide a guarantee – to complete the mission once the contract is paid... or die trying.
Blackshot Defense Contracts rose to prominence during WW3 for its willingness to ensure success for any contract… for the right price. As one of the main PDOs operating after the war, Blackshot maintains a highly-trained military force.The Blackshot Defense force is made up of numerous clans, which undertake contracts - sometimes even on opposing sides! Blackshot is lead by the "Commander-in-Chief" who is also the leader of the most successful clan.Blackshot's reputation is rigorously upheld. Any clan or member that abandons a contract or betrays its hirer is swiftly "re-trained". Blackshot also employs a lucrative trade in information, and has a strong influence in the shadowy underground black market for weapons - ensuring easy resupply in any theater of operations.
Client Dossier
United Earth (UE) - The UE formed after WW3, is an international body to promote peace and democracy. The UE pools resources from member nations to provide a platform for security, shared technology development and trade.The UE faces resistance from non-UE nations for the hard-line tactics used to ensure democracy and compliance to the rule of law. The UE has been recorded to contract PDOs to subjugate citizen uprising and pressure non-members into concessions.People of New Earth (PNE) - WW3 left many areas ravaged and abandoned as nations focused on rebuilding. A new society has grown from these wastelands as displaced refugees and disillusioned citizens forge a new beginning.
The People of New Earth are a loose collective, galvanized by a few charismatic leaders into a global society. While the PNE is scattered and largely focused on subsistence, their massive numbers and collective resources are impressive.
Even as the PNE maintain an uneasy truce with their neighbor nations, a vocal segment has been gathering support for a return to an eco-friendly way of life. Gaia Inc (Gaia) - A global energy corporation, Gaia was instrumental in the development and use of nuclear arms during WW3. Post-war, Gaia continues to maintain control of energy, investing in oilfields and nuclear technology.
Gaia has often been targeted for their role in selling nuclear arms during WW3 and their monopoly over energy. Many nations are still fully dependent on Gaia electricity and heavily in debt.
Gaia maintains a long-standing contract with various PDOs to protect their facilities and research labs. Some say these contracts also include missions for technology raids to maintain Gaia’s monopoly. Gaia has rebutted these rumors and maintained a neutral position.Nighthawks - Nothing much is known of the elusive Nighthawks except they were actively involved in several attacks against high-profile targets. It is rumored that they are the secret operational force of a criminal syndicate or Government.
Nighthawks are well equipped and have been known to operate in small tactical groups. They are highly trained and loyal, none have been captured alive.
