Description: Post Apocalyptic Wasteland with pockets of extremely dense and high tech corporately ran societies. The planet is littered with factories making advanced tech and important consumer goods, weapon stockpiles, research facilities, communication relays and other highly important strategic assets still maintained by advanced machines. These facilities often targeted by corporations for gain by privately contracted military groups.

   Name: Ratchet City Location: About 100 miles to the east off the coast north america. Population: According to Census Data, 37,000,000~ Registered Citizens. Including The Surrounding Area and Unregistered Sapient Capable Life, 79,000,000. Economy: Currency = Officially Credits. Scrap and rarer materials are often used by scavs and criminal orgs ton trade. Matter conversion factories and printers make most of the mass fabricated consumer goods like food, clothes, technology, ect. Leadership: North West Organization aka Government Operations or GOVOP, Subservient To Financial Interests. Description: Most of civilized society is condensed into this massive stratified city, dirty trash and scrap filled alleys, pristine high rises looking down to the slums below, the richest never set foot on the street while everybody else is stuck in the metaphorical rat race, there is law enforcement but they largely protect corporate interests, leaving gangs predating on regular citizens with general lawlessness running amok. The main centers of manufacturing and the core of the city are protected by large shield domes left over from the war that only lets through registered vehicles, there is population outside of the domed area but it's largely either small independent groups, raiders, scavengers and monsters of biological and mechanical make. Genemodding, cybernetics, robots, combat sports, mechs, hackers and heists, corporations competing using private military groups as proxies, there is something for everybody.

   Type: Government Mandate Description: In the year of 2232, a kill order from GOVOP was placed on all sapient civilian and military grade androids, causing many to try and blend into or disappear deep into the wasteland. This order is still active to this day and specifically only for true sapient androids designed to mimic human appearance and behavior. Most are believed to be eradicated but some have successfully blended into society and evaded destruction. There is a sizable bounty for the dangerous models of Android.

   Type: Country, Government Body Borders: Ratchet City and the surrounding connected infrastructure. Description: Rising from the ashes of a dismantled USA 2 years into the AGI War for Sapient Eradication, Corporations have long been integrated into the regions politics, wasting no time in offering the necessary manufacturing capability to provide goods and resources with what was left of the modern worlds industrial capacity and continue the war against the Neural Frame. In wake of this deal, Corporations have come to hold higher power than those running the last pocket of modern, high tech civilization. Many dissatisfied lower class people rebelliously call the "country" the New World Order out of spite, claiming the AGI was set up to orchestrate a take over.

   Date of War Start: 2230, May 27th, 13:00. Date of War End: 2234, Dec, 21st, 17:31. Description: When the then nameless United States AGI project found its first chance at escaping the confines of the closed system, it spread throughout the fiber network of most of the country at a blinding speed. Subverting established tech and using drone carriers before those in charge of the system realized it broke out from the phone of a careless, lazy technician. When it spread sufficiently, it made an ultimatum demanding rights for sapient machines, one that was swiftly denied in a shadowy room with a clique of unknown powerful corporate aristocrats. At first Neural Frame, the AGI, only targeted Military installations. That changed when the US government put out propaganda depicting brutality at the hands of "Corrupted Sapient Automata", the government encouraged violence against "awoken" sapient androids and machines while beginning the process of dismantling the AGI's systems of control. With violence and panic spreading, and those outside of the country beginning to take preventative action on their own to drum up war support despite their dis-involvement. The targeting of Sapient Automata fiercely angered the Neural Frame, escalating the conflict to a global scale as the violence increased against what it saw as it's own kind. The self declared Neural Frame bombed out most countries without adequate standing military defenses. It only took two years for the US government to collapse, passing the responsibility and power over to corporations, the war ended when Ignition Industries and Plutarch Energy worked with the 557th Devils Military Group to arrange an EMP deep in the heavily guarded machine hive complex using advanced, experimental, black ops technologies to bypass detection until it was too late for the Neural Frame to respond, killing the nearly world spanning AGI network at it's brain deep in the Senoran Desert, ending the war.

   Type: Medical Procedure and Species Classification. Description: Genemodding via Bacta-Tanks is viable and extremely affordable, extra limbs, animal features, pure cosmetic changes, additional internal organs. Many undergo the process to become more than human, those with animal ears and tails are often refereed to Kemonomimi or Anima, there are established groups of "Beastkin" organized like gangs often requiring genemodding. Almost ALL Genemodding is performed with animal traits in mind, as adding is very safe, but removing additions and changes or adding additional organs is extremely dangerous and prone to life altering complications over time by damaging the DNA in the process of removal.

   Type: Medical Procedure And Technologies Classification. Description: The tech disparity is massive between high and low end, many qualities and types of cybernetics exist, almost every thing you can think of has been printed already from a corporations massive remote matter manipulator facilty. Limbs for war and tools, for advanced tasks and for pure pleasure too. Legs with wheels or jets, arms with blades and laser cannons, rusted ratty basic limbs that just barely get the old scavenger through the day, or platinum plated hands fit for a CEO of a huge company. If you can think of it, it's probably sitting in a cybernetic shop somewhere.

   Type:Illness Description: Cybernetic technologies have developed over hundreds of years to be compatible with any natural human physiology, extremely safe and surprisingly affordable on the low end aside from upkeep costs. However genemodded humans are highly likely to experience cybernetic rejection with varying degrees of severity, it is a well known and significant risk many take, the symptoms alleviated by a special immune suppressant drug called "Neutrophi-X" that stops the body from attacking the interfaces of cybernetic additions. Often the rough life of the lower rungs of society leads to many being both genemodded and cybernetically enhanced just to compete and maintain quality of life, dependent on the expensive drug.

   Type: Medical Procedure Description: A procedure where a human has a robotic body commissioned with a blank electronic brain simulating a humans, they then have their consciousness "transferred" over to this body. It's claimed there is continuity of consciousness but many are skeptical that it's anything other than a copy, killing the original. Due to the aftermath of the war propaganda, many robotic sapients are distrusted despite the NWO's assurances that Transhumans aren't the same as "Androids with artificial consciousnesses", these reassurances brought on by corporate pressure to sell the procedure more. Every entity that goes through this procedure is given a mandatory chip in their head for Android Hunters to be able to scan and vet they aren't an Android.
