A CAMPAIGN, LOADOUTS AND NPCS: SURPLUS

 

The Last War is over.  The alliance of Rim megacorps you once served was soundly defeated by the Exile States. One more little nail in the coffin of corporate tyranny; a small step in the right direction.  That's cold comfort to you. You were rebuilt for war and cut loose as your employers disintegrated.  The corps promised you your body back when you enlisted but once the orbital strikes and rolling blackouts started, you know that the freezers stopped.  You don't have a plan.  But you've got a combat sleeve, a well-used weapon, and nothing to lose.


WHO WERE YOU BEFORE THE LAST WAR? [1d10 Backgrounds]

  1. Corporate security; a mall cop with a gun
  2. A colonial kindergarten teacher; from a company town
  3. A teenage delinquent; desperate to get off-word 
  4. An indentured white collar employee; enlisted to escape your contract
  5. A fast food worker; looking to make something of yourself
  6. The rebellious child of an executive; reality caught up quick
  7.  A rural colonist; war sounded better than desperate rural poverty
  8. An organized criminal; the corps are the biggest gangs there are, after all 
  9. A career soldier; you thought a combat sleeve was a logical career move
  10. You had a technical background and the corps needed a specialist; here you are
