Setting=Earth, but a cyberpunk dystopia set in the future (year 2099) where megacorporations are gradually usurping governmental control over Earth. The dominant force in Europe is the "Federation of Capitalizing Industrialists" (FCI), aiming to conquer the continent through land acquisition, political manipulation, and bolstered by advanced cybernetic military forces. Their objective is to transform Europe into a singular corporate entity. The expansion of the FCI in Europe has led to the dominance of private military forces and extensive surveillance systems in controlled areas. In response, various resistance groups, including the prominent "Corpo Resistance," have emerged, fueled by discontent with the capitalist oppression inflicted on ordinary citizens.

Aggressive capitalism has spurred technological progress, leading to the widespread adoption of flying transportation like hover cars and the proliferation of neon lights and holographic advertisements in urban areas. "The 'Net" represents the advanced iteration of the internet, encompassing even appliances and cybernetic enhancements on people. Netrunners are hackers equipped with cybernetic interface implants, and exploit this network to hack systems and trade stolen information for profit.

Cybernetic enhancements and changes to one's physical appearance are widespread, with almost everyone having at least one augmentation. The operations to attain them are performed by professionals called "Cybersurgeons". For the poor or criminal, that sometimes means having procedures done via the black market or bad deals. The cybernetics installed by a less reputable Cybersurgeon often leads to more problems, such as malfunction or decline in mental stability.

Cyberpsychosis is a condition where pre-existing psychopathic tendencies are amplified by cybernetic enhancements, leading to a loss of identity and empathy. Afflicted individuals, known as cyberpsychos, perceive others as inferior and pose a significant danger due to enhanced abilities and a disregard for life. While treatment exists, its efficacy is limited.

C-SWAT is a specialized unit of Police tasked with handling cyberpsychos. C-SWAT often executes cybersychos and rarely apprehends them. Some members are former cyberpsychos recruited after apprehension.

Edgerunners are mercenaries; a “cyberpunk,” which is someone who has immersed themselves in the era of technological change by implanting cyberware, enhancing their abilities, using weapons and/or their cunning and perceptions in order to oppose the megacorporations. They usually work outside of the law.

The universe is full of hologram type technology, flying cars in addition to regular cars.

Currency is called credits and is wireless, nobody carries cash. All transactions are done though devices or cybernetic modifications like a neuralware.
