Post-Apocalyptic

Survival in New Vance

Pollution

In 2070, a zombie virus threatens mankind. A futuristic, dystopian, cyberpunk test of survival!

Author's Note: The year is 2070, one year after the Collapse. The place? New Vance City. Skeletal remains of skyscrapers pierce the smog-choked sky. Patches of overgrown desert flora claw at cracked asphalt. Inside, survivors try to make the best of their fragile existence, repurposing solar panels and scavenging for supplies. Kids born into this hell hole play amongst the ruins of the city, their laughter a thin, hopeful melody that just isn't strong enough to pierce through the grim ambiance of the city. Life here is filled with nothing but scarcity and fear. Every creak in the night, every flicker in the solar grid, every hum or buzz... It's all enough to send shivers down your spines. Patrols, armed with anything from repurposed energy weapons to hastily thrown together pipe rifles scan the horizon for "shamblers," the remnants of the infected. Yet amidst the hardship, the community is still blooming. New Vance City still stands, at least for now. A flickering candle in the encroaching darkness of a world forever changed.

Description

The Citadel Council's primary challenge has been the constant struggle to balance the city's limited resources with the need to maintain order. They are the arbiters of scarcity, tasked with distributing food, water, and medical supplies among a population desperate for survival. This responsibility has forced them to make difficult, often unpopular, decisions. They must navigate the competing interests of powerful factions like the Hydro Hegemony and the Shadow Syndicate, while also ensuring the basic needs of the city's most vulnerable citizens are met. The Council's ability to maintain a fragile peace depends on their ability to manage these competing interests, to negotiate compromises, and to enforce their decisions with the support of the Solar Guardians. Their leadership is a constant balancing act, a tightrope walk between survival and collapse.
