They take huge risks and if they are lucky enough to survive them, may get no reward at all. |
This is an Earth/Aerth/Urth world that has seriously lost control. It is a testament though to how people can survive almost anything. | This is an Earth/Aerth/Urth world that has seriously lost control. It is a testament though to how people can survive almost anything. | ||

City-States, corporate oligarchies, criminal orginizations, heavily armed communal groups, and small Regional governments rule this planet. Many people cluster around huge corporate compounds that still do most of the producing. Transportation of goods has become a death sport. Technological advances were extraordinary in the face of necessity and the greed and malevolence of the rich. |
The roads of this world are dangerous. There is an active sport called Autodueling that pits drivers against each other in both organized and chaotic conflict. The sporting angle of it gives a modicum of legitimization to the production of equipment that is then used, often as not, to further the insane degrees of regular violence on this world. National legal systems have allowed death-sports as a defined exception to the laws defining Murder. | The roads of this world are dangerous.

<span style=color:darkgreen>Caine brought me here once. He said he wanted to find a world that had taken consumerism and militarism to the extremes. Someplace he could get a vehicle built for dangerous work. He found it. I spent a bit of time learning the hows and whys of this place and it makes no sense at all. It is a conflict of paradoxes. | <span style=color:darkgreen>Caine brought me here once. He said he wanted to find a world that had taken consumerism and militarism to the extremes.
