The City
It is the far future and during the colonization process of planet ATW-8 something happened that caused communications with the rest of humanity to cease. Those living and working on the terraform planet; engineers, contractors, construction workers, temporary doctors, and police were stuck in an incomplete city surrounded by an endless desert wasteland. This fact was made additionally grim in that the anticipated second wave that was to consist of developers, doctors, vehicles, and additional personnel never arrived leaving those on ATW-8 to their own devices. After three months riots started up and the few genetically modified police available took control over a small portion of the city later to be known as The Inner City.
As the years went by, the technology surrounding the descendants of the initial construction workers became foreign. Thoughts of escaping the planet were replaced with the simple will to survive. Those living in the inner city now make up a mock modern day society filled with vendors, private services, education, and other public services while those living in the hellish "Fringes" of the outer city join or fight against a variety of organized gangs.
Mayor Grimm, the leading figure of authority, has been in power for as long as anyone can remember. He is feared and respected throughout the city due in part to his personal army, the remnants of the police known now only as "The Grimm Militia." The Militia, in combination with the Atrius Defense Force (regular people who wish to help maintain order) has established an invisible parameter between the inner and outer city, creating the illusion of safety within.
Even with all of the chaos that happens in the fringes, no gang or punk is foolish enough to cross Mayor Grimm or attempt a raid on his holdings. Corrupt, without progress, without hope, the city of Atrius is dying. This is the setting for Liberty...
