   The story takes place on a planet that is not Earth. The background is a post-apocalyptic wasteland with two principal sides. The arcologies, controlled by powerful and ruthless corporations. The other side are the Salvage Unions, anarcho-syndicalists who roam the wastes in union crawlers, giant, city-sized mechs, looking for salvage and other wastelanders to join their cause. They oppose the corporations, but each union crawler acts independent. There is no overarching chain of command, as that would be against the union's anarchist principles. The salvage unions employ teams of salvagers, using home-made mechs to scour the ruins and wastes for useable salvage. The machines are more on the utilitarian side, based on loaders, transports, mining machinery and similar. not all have arms, but nearly all have two or more legs. Technology ranges from primitive machine guns all the way to cloaking fields, energy shields and plasma weaponry. The crawlers themselves are far too large to be properly armoured or shielded, let alone use stealth systems, and act more as carriers and trading hubs. They include all sorts of amenities for the salvage teams, including medical bay, cantinas, armouries, mech repair bays and manufacturing facilities. They are lightly armed in comparison to their massive size.

The interior is somewhat spartan, but surprisingly roomy. The Phobos has a rather large population of common house cats, as the crew likes them and they keep the crawler free from invasive vermin.

    Entry settings

    Food consists mostly of hydroponically grown fruit and vegetables, vat-grown meat processed in a variety of shapes, or, more rarely, foraged indigenous plants and hunted local wildlife. Very little livestock exists, and is usually only found in remote wasteland settlements or specialized corporate installations. It's either small animals like chickens or goats that were important from Earth before the war started, or some local animals that could be domesticated. Most local animals resemble lizards and tend to taste like poultry. Bubbles is surprisingly good at creating well-tasting dishes from whatever is at hand from the Phobos' hydroponic bays. Rations range from odd-tasting nutrient bars to canned food to self-heating meal packs with a variety of sides as well as dessert. Chocolate is particularly prized, mostly due to the fact that making good quality chocolate from the locally available ingredients is an art form.
