Megacorps

The world is dominated by classic cyberpunk-esque megacorporations, each one far more important than the vestigial national remnants that encompass them. These megacorps are usually locked in a cold war, trading and dealing with each other even as they try to strike in deniable ways. An over-council of corporations usually acts to bring into line any that get excessively overt in their activities.

Enemies:

• ProtoDev Multinational Armament
• Simon Clark
• Ruthless mercenary who wants what the PCs have

Friends:

• Sector Border Patrol Unit
• Offworlder merchant in far over their head
• Local reformer struggling to cope with megacorp indifference

Complications:

• The megacorps are the only source of something vital to life on this world
• An autonomous Mandate system acts to punish excessively overt violence
• The megacorps are struggling against much more horrible national governments

Things:

• Blackmail on a megacorp exec
• Keycodes to critical corp secrets
• Proof of corp responsibility for a heinously unacceptable public atrocity
• Data on a vital new product line coming out soon

Places:

• A place plastered in megacorp ads
• A public plaza discreetly branded
• Private corp military base

Cheap Life

Human life is near-worthless on this world. Ubiquitous cloning, local conditions that ensure early death, a culture that reveres murder, or a social structure that utterly discounts the value of most human lives ensures that death is the likely outcome for any action that irritates someone consequential.

Enemies:

• Blue Demons
• Dogs of the World

Old Enemies:

• The Guild of the Anchored Templar

Friends:

• Endearing local whose life the PCs accidentally bought
• Escapee from death seeking outside help
• Reformer trying to change local mores

Complications:

• Radiation or local diseases ensure all locals die before twenty-five years of age
• Tech ensures that death is just an annoyance
• Locals are totally convinced of a blissful afterlife

Things:

• Device that revives or re-embodies the dead
• Maltech engine fueled by human life
• Priceless treasure held by a now dead owner

Places:

• Thronging execution ground
• Extremely cursory cemetery
• Factory full of lethal dangers that could be corrected easily
