Factions

Get the job done and get back home to their families. Some are looking for a payday and might look to do some skimming. Most know this is a bad idea.

All the transport, repair, and support mechs in the BOLZA force. They also control access to the Chimerium storage facility at the BOLZA Camp.

Not being as loyal to the corpo, they can be bought - provided they will be safe. That said, it is a big ask. Better the devil you know.

Gain Chimerium samples to engineer a cure to Chimerium Mutation they can leverage. Prevent BOLZA Chimerium Energy ambitions by assassinating Exec Petro. Commit industrial sabotage on Red Mesa and BOLZA operations to slow down their research ambitions.

A high tech lance as well as detailed information on Gehenna and its inhabitants.

Isolated and small in number. If BOLZA were to find out about their plans and location, they would very quickly find themselves removed from the equation.

Salvage as much Chimerium as possible and sell it for more basic goods to keep their band alive.

They are many in number and more arrive each day. They will work with anyone, though they are more suspicious of corpos than most. Often underestimated, they still put the weapons they do have to good use.

Poorly equipped, they are a ragtag bunch. Being nomadic, they have brought their families, their children, and the sick and old. Many are weak and need support, so do not pose much of a threat militarily.

Their objective is to secure Chimerium Meteor sites for salvage and destroy all opposition.

The best equipment, intel, and training that BOLZA has to offer.

Arrogant and overconfident as they have never lost. Easily baited.

Beat 1st Lance by securing more Chimerid Meteors. Will do anything to achieve this even if it is not by the book.

They are still well equipped with BOLZA support. They have lighter load outs which makes them more responsive and flexible.

Hyper focused so they might miss the bigger picture. Could be manipulated as a result.

The Chimerid Meteor swarms are a golden prize for their new leader Julius, who is looking to make a name for himself. They will be looking to smash and grab as much as they can and get to a new area before they suffer too much heat.

There are a lot of them and they are not afraid of a fight. Their tactics are ruthless and unorthodox.

Their Mechs are low-tech and scrappy, and they insist on using cumbersome box wheels. They have a loose chain of command held together by fear, and are prone to infighting.

Harvest Chimerium and use it to craft Bio-Chassis to aid the highest of their ranks, known as 'The Family', on the path to ascension. Current family members, the de facto leaders of the cult, are Father Chatterer, Lady Seed, and The Anointed One.

Wide variety of bio-enhanced Mechs. Significant numbers of faithful that can grow through proselytising to other wastelanders.

Their fanatical devotion can lead to witch hunts within the cult. Their Mechs are in ropey condition from over modification and a lack of dedicated engineers. Lack dedicated Bio-Chassis.

They follow the will of The Mastermind, who desires living subjects to continue its Chimerium experiments. The Mastermind is inventive in getting such subjects, either through promises of power or, failing that, force. They further wish to collect as much Chimerium as possible for The Mastermind. In return, he provides them with protection and a ration of Chimerium which they need to survive.

They know how to utilise Chimerium to create Bio-Tech. Their lances contain numerous Bio-Chassis and mutated warriors.

Many of the Chimerium Mutants quietly resent The Mastermind and there are whispers of uprising and rebellion. Their reliance on Chimerium for survival means the Chimerium Mutants cannot stray too far from the plateau lest they run out of their supply.

Looking to claim as much salvage as possible, they are happy to work and coordinate with other Salvagers and Wasters. Silver has a history with BOLZA: they screwed him out of a salvage job and left his entire team for dead. He has a hateful desire to enact his revenge against them.

Crawler #693 is a fully equipped Tech 3 Exploratory Union Crawler.

Their hatred towards BOLZA means they will fight them even when outgunned. This will bring more heat down on those that work with them.

Capture a Bio-Titan or Chimerium Beast alive to sell to the highest bidder. Salvage as much Chimerium as possible and hoard it to sell later at inflated prices.

Well armed, including with Black Market Tech. This includes a Corrupted Neuralink Module which 'Gen' is not afraid to use to gain intel. They are well informed on the local landscape due to their trade networks and have no qualms about working with corpos.

Though well armed, they will shy from a fight. They prefer negotiating, interrogating, or (if force is needed) hiring muscle. They're here to make bank, not get killed, or worse - lose their assets.
