The year is 20XX, and the world is in turmoil. Use of biological and nuclear arms in the Seven Hour War has led to the economic and social downfall of our nations. From the ashes, the Mega Corporations of the globe have answered the United Nation’s plea for support, supplying food, shelter, power, and wealth to various post-war zones.
Large barriers are erected around these zones, justified as a means to protect the citizens within. Slowly, these zones shunned outside influence, becoming self sustained cityscapes known as Wards. As the governments of the world began to fade, more and more corporations took root.
This is a world where money is power, and conflict is never ending. This is a world where the weak and the poor are crushed beneath the boot of the powerful. This is a world where theft and murder are no longer crimes, but necessities. This is Ward Thirteen, enjoy your stay.
