May 2036. The Second American Civil War has been ongoing for months and the United States as you know it is crumbling. The fascist and totalitarian New American Federation (NAF) has risen and taken over much of the country, whilst the former government has fled and is clinging on to territory out west. Americans under the jurisdiction of the NAF are subject to the brutal treatment of the state's military police Enzian, who enforce absolute compliance from civilians. The land of the free is now anything but. Unbeknownst to the NAF and Enzian however is what is lurking in the basement of a bar in downtown Baltimore. Sick of war and continued social and economic chaos, resistance is brewing right underneath their noses both in the city and elsewhere across the country. Cells of an opposition group are coming together and becoming more organised, threatening the existence of the tyrannical regime no sooner than it has began to establish complete control. This is no ordinary resistance movement, though. They have power that the NAF can't even begin to comprehend. They are not to be messed with. They are SYBER. *Frequent updates*

Welcome to the city of Iso-Karo. I am many things; A liar, a cheat, a fugitive from so-called "justice", and a hyper-lethal assassin-for-hire. The scum of the city - criminal, if you're feeling polite. Astonishingly, I'm a soon-to-be terrorist. Icarus Gigacorporation has maintained a stranglehold on our city for far too long. The people have been divided between wealth and poverty, influence versus powerlessness. For years I have struggled to survive under the shadow of a criminal enterprise, but I won't have to struggle much longer. I intend to break this system of oppression. My name is Nova Vaylen, and I will bring this city to its knees.
