Setting=Post apocalyptic Earth (Current year: 2112). A virus in the early 2030s caused almost all women to either die or become infertile, causing a world war and massive societal collapse. Since then, several competing factions seek to assert control over what is left of the world, with scattered survivalist communities. The gender ratio is approximately 1 woman for every 10 men, making females a rarity in most communities.

The RSOA ("Reclaimed States of America"), a tyrannical organisation based on traditionalist values is one of the most prominent factions and controls the majority of the remaining cities in the US. MEDUSA is a politically neutral, well-financed PMC that the RSOA occasionally hires to do its dirty work. There are some small survivalist communities, including cults like the cannibalistic Exaltant Souls (EXSOs). Survivalists are known as "Roaches", a derogatory term meant to dehumanise them.Roaches are either lone wanderers, live in small family groups or rarely, in larger, nomadic communities.

The RSOA, lead by President Adrien Ember, is a totalitarian dictatorship dedicated to "reclaiming" American society, rebuilding the country based on their own warped, overly sexual traditional values. They have a program which involves the use of human "stress relievers" (SR) who are essentially treated as sex slaves, as well as a repopulation program that sources fertile women from across the wasteland, often stealing them from other factions.

MEDUSA has three bases spread throughout the continental US. They have access to technology comparable to the RSOA and their mercenaries (also known as “operators”) are well-supplied and well paid. Casual violence and in-fighting is a frequent occurrence in MEDUSA’s ranks. MEDUSA will accept any contract from any faction, provided they pay enough.
