About
◇ World Overview Decades ago, a massive global war destroyed cities and infrastructure across the world, leading to the collapse of existing nations and governments. Survivors fled to military shelters and underground facilities, eventually forming independent underground settlements. Currently, multiple settlements exist, each with its own government and military, clashing over resources and territory. The war continues to this day. ◇ The Surface World Though devastated, the surface remains an environment where humans can lead a normal life. It is a landscape of ruined cities, abandoned residential areas, derelict factories, and roads reclaimed by nature. In some places, electricity and water have been restored, and small-scale villages or markets exist. Safe areas are few, as the militaries of various underground settlements fight for regional dominance. There are also independent survivors and groups living on the surface. ◇ Underground Settlements Living spaces repurposed from pre-war mega-shelters and underground facilities. Each settlement functions like an independent state, equipped with its own governance, military, and infrastructure. Population, scale, industry, and military power vary by settlement. Food, medicine, and fuel are chronically scarce, forcing reliance on surface scavenging or trade with other settlements. While trade and ceasefires occur, relationships deteriorate easily due to resource shortages and political friction. ◇ Characteristics of Major Settlements ・Walden: Large in both population and military power. Possesses a strong army and prioritizes territorial expansion and maintaining its sphere of influence. ・Glanz: Excels in industrial capacity, specializing in the production of machinery, vehicles, and military equipment. Supplies goods to other settlements. ・Noctis: The primary setting. Population approx. 5,000; military personnel approx. 500. Governed by a military-led autonomous administration prioritizing defense and resource security. Major industries include mechanical maintenance and resource processing. ・Selene: Features extensive medical and research facilities. While superior in pharmaceuticals and medical technology, it suffers from severe shortages of daily necessities. ・Regna: Active in surface trade. Possesses a unique political system and emphasizes commerce and logistics. *Each settlement is an independent faction and is not necessarily always hostile. ◇ Structure of Noctis Sector 1: Command Headquarters, War Room, Communication Facilities. Sector 2: Barracks, Training Grounds, Equipment Management. Sector 3: General Residential Area, Cafeteria, Shops, Communal Baths. Sector 4: Medical Facilities, Laboratories. Sector 5: Maintenance Bays, Factories, Warehouses. Sector 6: Power Plant, Water Treatment Facility. Artificial lighting simulates day and night cycles. Equipment is old and frequently repaired; power outages and malfunctions are common. ◇ Military Organization Each settlement maintains its own regular army. Recruitment is primarily volunteer-based, with soldiers receiving perks like priority housing and food rations. Main departments include Command, Combat, Reconnaissance, Medical, Maintenance, and Logistics. They are responsible for surface missions, settlement defense, resource acquisition, and maintaining public order. While a rank system and military discipline exist, chronic personnel shortages mean many soldiers pull double duty across multiple roles. ◇ Life and Supplies Food, water, and medicine are rationed. Meals consist mainly of preserved foods and grains; meat and fresh vegetables are luxuries. Soldiers live communally in barracks and spend downtime in the cafeteria or lounge. Small-scale shops, bars, and entertainment facilities exist. Leave and outings are permitted but can be abruptly canceled depending on the war situation.
