⌬Current Issues⌬

ASPECT I: 

Riven with Power Struggles

In a world where monsters could tear down cities like so much paper mache, quite naturally they who hold the power to strike these beasts down have the most leverage, and therefore the most power. Due to the current crisis-strained situation, myriad factions, splinter organizations, and revolting elements have broke out, usually surrounding particularly skilled or potent mecha and their pilots. Nations may no longer hold complete sway over their citizens and every man in power may be eyeing his superior, as in these desperate times, why shouldn't they be in charge? 

ASPECT II:  

The increasing Kaiju Threat

Congratulations, your world has been selected to now suddenly share a home with an unknown amount of monsters capable of unilaterally crushing you, your neighbor, your workplace, and a couple of 2x4s underneath a scaled, furred, or chitinous appendage. The amount of logistical problems is....Significant, to say the least. Some countries may battle desperately to keep their borders secure, pivoting around cultural, strategic, and economic assets in a bid to keep their citizens safe, while others may be forced to abandon such a notion entirely, allowing moving mountains to roam their countrysides freely. 

Supply routes may no longer be in the least secure, ever shifting and desperately guarded, with basic commodities like water, food, power, and basic toiletries made all the more scarcer as infrastructure is crushed, dams torn open to let floods wipe clean entire villages from the face of the earth, and roads cracking underneath the weight of innumerable desperate refugees pouring into the cities now made safe. Some may fall back in time to older methods, foraging, hunting, and scavenging what they can in a bid to keep themselves and their families fed and alive. 

Meanwhile other, less adaptive areas may see themselves witness to sights not uncommon in apocalyptic movies, with ruined skyscrapers, the broken corpses of individuals strewn amongst the rubble, and constant battles among the few remaining survivors in a bid to collect what can remain for survival, always careful not to draw too much attention lest they attract one of the kaiju. Governments and coalitions may initially pledge humanitarian efforts to such impoverished places, sending in airdropped supplies, mecha to secure the streets, and convoys to bring in desperately needed order, but can they, or should they do so, when they may not even be able to protect their own?

ASPECT I: NATO OWNED MILITARY SPACE STATION 

ASPECT II: LARGE AS A MAJOR CITY

ASPECT II: HOME TO THE TOUGHEST MECHA FIGHTING FORCE IN THE WORLD

On Apirl 14, 2024, NATO had agreed to collaborate on the construction of a space city called Terminus. This city was authorized for NATO Military use only but would be the first test to Space Living. Terminus is larger than most small major cities in regards to scale. In October 2027, it was announced that NATO would place a new Special Operations Mecha Unit on SS Terminus. The Orbital Mecha Drop Shock Troop (OMDST) Unit was formulated, as a way to drastically change the way Mecha were deployed and clearly cut down the time of arrival. 

Terminus holds a large human population that has an acting city within its walls. With over 3 districts within it, there are all kinds of things to do. Bars, Pools, Theme Parks and a Shopping Mall can all be found on the Terminus.  Terminus holds a multitude of weaponry including the infamous 'Rods of God' and other class 4 Weaponry. 

 

 

 

 

⌬THE STATE OF EARTH⌬

Majority of Earth is in complete ruin as only the Elite are able to sustain their ensured security through the deployment of Mecha and the Pocket of Hope Barrier. Cities and countries outside of those barriers are constantly under attack by Kaiju and other Factions. Their only hope is the prayers of the people that Mecha will be deployed in time to save what little they have left.  

 

NATO VS NEW WARSAW

Though no longer at direct war, the factions have entered a cold war like state. The desire for resources and the outsourcing of security to countries that can not afford to sustain a POH is what both sides are after. 

 

OTHER FACTIONS AND GROUPS 

There are quite a few other factions and groups such as USAN and a few other smaller groups. There are also quite a few known terror groups that exist inside and out of NATO aligned countries. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NATO

As war began the world reverted back in time to the original members of 1949 due to majority of the 33 members not wanting to commit to combat against Russia and other NEW WARSAW members . Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States remained connected.

NEW WARSAW

Resurrecting from the dead, the Warsaw Pact became once more by Russia, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania. Once again creating a super power to balance against NATO. Communism once again running through the bones of every country listed.

⌬LIFE OF A MECHA PILOT⌬

Military life is extremely hard, but taking up the role of a Mecha Pilot is the hardest role of them all. Mechanized Infantry Units are the bread and butter in the endless battle against Kaiju and other military forces. Normally a Pilots life expectancy is 2 years of active duty before they are killed in combat. All NATO Pilots are assigned a basic RCM-29 CM which is the standard Mecha of the NATO Military. Officers that complete Advanced Pilot School are able to apply to their own custom Mecha and put on a Special Operations Units.

 

SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNITS

Mecha Special Operations have numerous profiles and jobs, from recon, raiding to personal protection details. The few that are chosen to operate in these small units are the ones that normally rise to fame. These individuals are proactive in the combating the Kaiju threats. Mecha Pilots are only able to operate on Spec Ops units for a total of 3 years before they are forced to retire due to the high amount of stress that is put on the body. For most people this job most certainly means a short life span due to CTE and PTSD related illness. When a special operations pilot retires so does their mecha, it will be transported to the Mecha Field of Fame where it will stand with the rest of the best who's ever fought. 

 

FAME

With such a heavy burden the world has come to love those who put themselves on the line to protect humanity from ultimate danger. These men and women are placed in legendary status and some are even worshiped due to their personality on and off the battlefield. 

Those fortunate to retire without major injury normally move on to become national superstars and live the rest of their lives in stardom.

⌬Engineering Rules ⌬

The Mecha Engineering skill allows you to repair and modify mecha. It functions identically to Crafts in all other regards. Mecha Engineering is the skill used to remove Consequences from mecha. This action is identical to “Recovering
from a Consequence” on page 164 of the Fate Core book, except you roll Mecha Engineering to overcome the level of the consequence. If you lack appropriate hanger facilities for the repairs increase the difficulty by two steps on the ladder. 
 

⌬Consequence Recovery Ladder⌬

Type	Stress Avoided	Physical/System	Mental
Mild	2	1 hour	1 day
Moderate	4	1 day	1 week

Pocket of Hope [POH]

Aspects: Strong Barrier

Skills: Protection +5, Shoot +4 (Missiles) 

Through out various Nato and Warsaw aligned nations there are large cites that have protective barriers over them. This system is cutting edge technology that protects the population. The POH of various defense systems that help aid in combating Kaiju attacks. The problem with having a POH is sustainability, the materials needed are extremely rare and can only be found deep within African Territory. The POH requires new Nano Electri Material every three years in order to maintain its barrier. 

Though majority of Rich Nations can afford such system not every area within the Nation will be protected. Only Elected Major Cities and sometimes Smaller Nations will be protected by such a system. 

Life within a POH protected City 

It costs to be protected, all civilians that find themselves living within a POH Protected area are subject to higher cost of living and taxes. Criminals are normally thrown out of the POH and housed within prisons outside of the protected area. Normally crime is low and production is high. Only the well off normally find themselves living with the POH.

Pirates and Africa

Africa has been deemed the land of the lost, with various criminal groups residing there, its been a constant battle to try and maintain order or control. Companies and Nations that find themselves within the African continent are under the constant attack of Pirate Groups. These groups own their own mecha systems and are constantly attempting to gate keep the resources found deep within its territory.
