In the year 2065, the Axel Corporation discovered an Earth-like planet on the edge of the Sol System. Since then, costly rides aboard their ships have moved anything from people to cargo to deliver it to the planet, called "New Earth" by many despite the fact that its official designation is Arade. For many, this is seen as a new opportunity especially as governments of the world bicker for who owns it or how much should they own. Corporations are only beginning to settle subsidiaries on the planet. People looking to escape the hyper-hedonism or trying to start anew flock to the planet, but also those with less-than-dubious intentions.
The lack of a strong government presence means many have to do with a locally-elected officer of the law, called a Sheriff. The sheriff can then choose who becomes a deputy to assist him. How they are identified depends on the community, some use badges, others use armbands. They are then allowed to use the Network for Uniformed Peacekeepers, their way of being able to track who is wanted in a community and who has been caught or dealt with. More heinous or extreme crimes are dealt with by execution if caught, but these Lawmen have issues chasing down thieves and murders all around the world, so one piece of that Network is the Bounty System, a way to officiate a bounty for the community. Typically, new bounties are posted weekly and are shared throughout a number of ways: a digital notice board in front of the sheriff office, TV programs, or posted on the community's website if it's large enough to possess one. Alternatively, there are security and detective firms that are more than willing to assist with the promise of money: the Pinkertons are one of the most infamous examples of this as they have a very efficient and brutal modus operandi.
Bandits, thieves, and murderers are all too frequent on this planet. With the promise of new, valuable resources and a lack of lawmen this means that robbing and pillaging is much easier almost like in Night City with its insanely high crime rate. Although the gangs here tend to be less cybered up. Less armed, too, thanks to the
However, dastardly villains aren't the only ones that prowl the land. There's native inhabitants-- ones with cat ears, cat tails, wolf ears, wolf tails, and some even have paws! They're referred to by layman as "Beastkin" for these features. Naturally, their land is slowly becoming the Terran's own. Some are fighting back, others are leaving behind their tribes and getting used to this new way of life. Naturally, each tribe and individual Beastkin are different, some are more willing to fight back, some are more willing to join with the Terran Forces. Although they utilize bows and axes, the local resources provided by them make such things scarily effective against heavily armored targets.
