It's been 120 years since the IdeA incident. The world has been plunged into an age of plague, monsters and radioactive wastelands. Just as society begins to rebuild, a new threat has emerged. A mysterious new creature has begun to appear. The only thing about the Lnrg, as they have become to be known as, is that they come from a place called Tarshish. Independent City Governments have begun to form to protect the assets that humanity has managed to scrape up, and they need more mercenaries to fight for humanity.
