Factions
Rusted
In the forgotten corners of Nexus City, the Rusted thrive as scavengers and rebellious innovators. Led by Axel “Scrapjack” Verren—a volatile genius with Exaltium-infused cybernetics—the gang transforms discarded arcanotech into unstable creations, including makeshift weapons and experimental bombs.
They envision a future where technology belongs to the people, challenging the monopolies of the corporate elite. While factions like the Azure Syndicate resent their influence on the black market, the Rusted’s technology empowers downtrodden groups in ambushes and raids.
To some, the Rusted are folk heroes; to others, reckless anarchists. Players who ally with them gain access to experimental technology and guerrilla tactics but must navigate the risks of unleashing unchecked power on a fragile world.
