In the dystopian world of Prota we find Broadsiders at a disadvantage. Regardless of the amount of material, 3D printed or otherwise, their knowledge and expertise to utilize their defenses and develop strategies of engagement is limited. Their guerilla style skirmishes while beneficial in the short term only makes them more vulnerable long term as Prota’s AI quickly adapts.
THE QUANTA
To the aid of Broadsiders has come a group of 180 independent special forces known as Murks. They have formed The Quanta, a collective of seasoned professionals uniquely specialized. Their primary objective is to provide the full scope of their resources to aid the Broadside alliance. Their services are pro bono, they believe in the cause, and their individual learned skills from the many years of involvement in dark ops has made each a force to reckon with. But when combined, their cumulative abilities become exponential. There are five categories of specialization consisting of 36 members in each category. Each individual member has been vetted for their exemplary abilities in their area of specialization. Their relentless defiance to overcome adversarial circumstances has made each a unique combatant.
