Setting The year is 984.

The world has been exhausted of most of it's natural resources, leading to the discovery of miraculous technology known as "Singularities". Corporations rise to claim these wonders, forming a gigantic mega-city known as... well, "The City". 26 of these Corps (In accordance with the Alphabet) manage 26 districts, with the powerful organization known as "The Head" leading them.

However, with the rapid advancement of technology, comes a great difference in status between the rich and poor. This divide leads to the separation of the "Backstreets" and the "Nest" within a District, and with it, rampant crime and cruel exploitation by Corporations. In this dystopian society, only the strong willed survive.

Of course, opportunity also rises in the City. Contract mercenaries known as Fixers work to earn a living through various means, as well as the more criminally orientated Syndicates who often clash with the former. Additionally, employees of the 26 Corporations are often tasked in bizarre, wondrous, and horrific experiments in order to keep their place in the Nest.

Project Moon's world is one of a society of advanced technology and development, but suffers under a oppressive meritocracy ruled by corporate entities in an almost post-apocalyptic world. Where the joy of life has long since left the eyes of the denizens of the City.

Notable Conflicts The Battle for the City An unnamed conflict that would establish The City and the Head's rule. It was a battle between the humans and non-human entities that were mechanical in nature. The non-humans were overwhelmed by the humans and were pushed out of the City into the Outskirts and beyond, never to be seen again. Afterwards, the Head would establish the Artificial Intelligence Ethics Amendment Act, which stated that no machine or AI would have any resemblance to humans, including full-body mechanical replacements. There is mention of a "Machine Purge", but it's unknown whether it refers to this conflict or not. Wings' War A large scale conflict occurring in the early years of the City's founding. It involved most of the Wings. Highly advanced weapons and technologies were developed as a means of war and destruction.

The outcome of the War would result in massive casualties to the population and the creation of the Outskirts, where most of the fighting took place. The Perception Filter would also be created as a means to visually lessen the horrors of war by reducing them to more "toy-like" versions.

Bloodfiend War A very old conflict between two sides of Bloodfiends, those who wished to coexist alongside humans in peace, and those who saw them only as prey and cattle. It seems the Peaceful Bloodfiends won the battle.

Smoke War A major conflict that occurred in the past. Multiple Wings participated in this conflict, such as R Corp and the Old G Corp. It was a pivotal moment in the City, as many Corporations would rise and fall as a result. The Smoke War ended around the year 974.

Before Lobotomy Corp came to be, the old L Corp would always produce endless amounts of acidic fog and almost always refuse to share their energy or charge high prices for it. This smog would end up choking the city, hence the namesake of the conflict. Eventually, the war ended with the collapse of the old L Corp and its allies, as well as the rise of Lobotomy Corporation to a Wing.
