Fallout: Pre War

Beneath the neon glow and towering factories of the Chicago Metroplex Industrial Sector, the Smog Warrens sprawl like a forgotten labyrinth of steel and smoke. Once a thriving industrial district, it has been left to rot as automation replaced human labor. Now, it serves as a black-market hub, a sanctuary for displaced workers, and a battleground between desperate scavengers and ruthless corporate enforcers. Steam vents and chemical runoff fill the air with a permanent haze, obscuring the makeshift shantytowns, hidden black-market cybernetics clinics, and the occasional hidden resistance cell. Corrupt factory foremen and rogue technicians operate in the shadows, trading in stolen AI cores, smuggled weapons, and illicit tech. However, corporate security forces regularly sweep the area, hunting for dissidents, contraband, and any sign of rebellion against the industrial machine. In the Smog Warrens, survival isn’t just a struggle—it’s a business.
