No heroes left

Chapter 1 - honest pay for honest work

Tags looks down at his map and looks at the local area. He is currently in the scorched, a sandy wasteland with sweltering heat, which is occupied by the ghosts who drive around in their big white buggies kitted with spikes and flames. The old resistance also hides in a small town on the border of the scorched which is where he spends most nights but doesn't get involved. They raid who they want when they want and bribe caravans for protection through the scorched. It takes up a huge area only a little bit smaller than the glacier but only an area of it is survivable due to the sand storms and extreme heat that burns you from the inside out.

Then there is the glacier which is an ice cold war zone due to the group of bandits always wanting to take control of it but no one can hold it due to the snow blizzards, which happen during the night, that cause people to freeze where they stand if they don't keep a fire lit and nearby. It's frozen lake has the boats of the old world stuck there forever. It is larger than the scorched and is the same condition all around taking up 1/8th of the full planet.

Then there is the marsh. The marsh is a swamp area caused by the constant flooding in that area from the sea. This area belongs to the brooken clan who live up in houses on stilts made of materials they stole from the DGU so the floods don't knock them over. They are extremely territorial and will shoot on sight. The marsh land is all along the coast but only takes up 1/16th of the world.

Then there is the plains which is just a huge amount of fields that are covered in dead grass. Now this would be the safest place on the planet but it is inhabited by the branded who burn everything so there are constant wild fires. This take up 1/16th of the planet.

Then there is the city of black peak which lives on the side of a dormant volcano. This is an authority funded area that only "the chosen," can live live in. Survivors are always trying to get in because there is a decent life in there but the propaganda in the city sees anyone outside as disgusting so they are shunned and beaten if the DGU hadn't already shot them all at the gate. It's still a shithole because the entire planet is and because it was previously a militia owned planet the DGU don't care about the residence.

The land that isn't on the map is the scar. It's where the round from the DGU capital ship hit and burned half the planet like an asteroid. This place can only be visited if you're in a ship with heat protection and doesn't melt. Because of the round it is rich in materials meaning it is covered in huge DGU terraformers that are digging up the planet and causing massive earthquakes. This area takes up half the planet.

The rest is covered by an uncrossable ocean due to a constant thunderstorm.

The planet was a human planet so the main population are mainly human but there is still a wide variety of people. All though there are the main groups there are 10s of 1000s of bandit groups.

Tags puts the map away into his car that has its doors welded shut and a metal support endoskeleton ripped from an old drag racing car to give it some more strength. It's is kitted with head lights from an old jeep at a scrapyard. On most planets they have upgraded to the new cars put this planet always stuck with the old ones. It is an old mustang with a lot of bits removed to take some weight off and an upgraded engine.

He has a few weapons all over the car. He has a sniper, a machine gun, an authority pulse beam which uses extremely expensive ammo but can cut a hole through a mountain with one shot of its beam and a few emp grenades in the secret compartment of the boot of the car.

The sniper is an old Barrett sniper that's been with him since he can remember. The machine gun is an m4a1 with a grenade launcher attachment on the bottom. The pulse beam is completely white and is huge and heavy so tags has built a mount on the top of his car so if he needs to take something out he can place it on the top of his car (image).
