Since the Second Civil War and the former United States disintegrated into factions, Atlanta - once the bustling, thriving city of the South - now finds itself at a war against multiple fronts. A propaganda war kept the locals inside the city and prevented them from defecting. Biological and mechanical wars forced the city to rely on automation for its defense and internal matters.
25 years ago, an individual known as 'The Wolf' used these sheep-powered robots to overthrow whatever remained of Georgia, bringing the city and its remains to his knees. As robots became the overlord of the city, dissent grew and a Fireman is going to take everything into his own hands.
But in the impending battle lies the fate of Atlanta. Everything he does will change the balance of power. Will he successfully achieve his aims in liberating Atlanta from the Wolf's rule, or will he change the balance of power in the entire continent, culminating in the battle in Atlanta's former city hall?
Welcome to life in New Atlanta.
