CULTURE
Dredd is a planet of many cultures and customs, the giant planetary city is divided up into five different sections and each section has their own culture and beliefs ranging from a democratic society to just down right crazy. The planet is in a constant civil battle for power and due to it being in wild space it has not received any care due to its remote location. But the planet consists of four large gangs and the last bastion of democracy and over the course of the culture section each society will be broken down to its values.

Libertarians the last hope of civilization: The people of Liberty District One are considered to be what remains of how the planet was founded. Much like coruscant and the republic the people of this place believe in democracy and beliefs that every person has a place in the government. The libertarians are their own self sufficient government and city with over 2 billion people living inside of it. They have everything from schools to hospital, colleges and even their own formal and well needed military to keep the chaos of the outside world out.
Liberty District 1 government: Hailing from coruscant during the Gulag virus the government consists of a senate to decide upon matters of importance whether it be dealing with the outside world of violence and death, figuring out how to renew water and other natural resources or the upkeep of city. There is a chancellor in office as well, but liberty district one follows the ideals and political values of the republic minus the Jedi.
The people of liberty: Everyone is really just trying to get by with their lives, they share the same culture as the planet of coruscant being a huge mixed diversity of alien religion and beliefs. Freedom of speech and religion is a right given to the people of Liberty District 1 so everyone just expresses themselves with their cultural identity, but one firm rule stands. You may practice your religion as long as it does not threaten the safety of people living in the district. Being at the northern pole of the planet they are located near the planets massive array of mountains so mining the metal known as Alum is a huge industry for the democratic nation. It is their number one export to Arcadia and is sold in large amounts but is also primarily used in the monstrous creation known simply as "The Wall".
The Wall: Made of solid Alum and spanning over 15946 kilometers (roughly the sice of the artic circle) the wall is a massive planetary fortification meant to keep the madness of the lost sections of the city. So no doubt a wall this big would of taken a very long time to build and have a massive force to guard it. And it does, twenty percent of the civilians in liberty district 1 serve actively in the military. The wall needs constant repairs and upkeep so normally the government contracts out to local companies that have been come to known as "Suicide Contractors" in fact a hit reality tv show has been made from their exploits on the planet. But surly a source of food is needed to feed all these troops and people that's why there is one massive norm here in liberty district
Recycle, Recycle, Recycle:
http://biconsortium.eu/sites/default/files/pictures/BBE_in-practice.jpg
Everything from the smallest piece of food to the heftiest freighter gets recycled on this district, foods and seeds from crops are recollected from the civilians persnickety waste system and are replanted in the massive green houses of this world. Liberty District has a very small navy and can only do a few trips to the market world of Arcadia so often. So normally everything that is thrown away is always reused, to recycle is to save! From the brass and energy cells of our rifles to your plastic bags. It's a team effort here and with you we can take back our planet!
ROCKET CITY RACKETEERS
http://www.veday65.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Brand-New-Age-Fashion.jpg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=unxrRffd9iY
Who they are: The Racketeers, one of the biggest and oldest gangs on the planet on the outside of the wall are a gang based off of the love of angsty punk music and bad haircuts. They control well over 3 billion people in their turf alone, with at least 1.5 billion being gang members themselves, but being a gang that believes in disorder and anarchy the section of the city they live in is highly run down and consists of slums with very few natural resources. The Racketeers really just want to live free and die hard and as long as they have drugs and booze they are relatively happy, however there is a darker nature about them unlike most of the other people on this world.
Kark the system!!: Rules are for fools and liberty district drools! Anarchy at its finest the gang really has no leader, thus making them a very hard problem to deal with. You can't cut off the head of the snake if it doesn't have a head. They believe that liberty District is a evil controlling power that wants to rule over everything with their appointed government officials and their order. In rocket city the only thing that you need is an attitude to live free and the guts to stand up to the man.
Yeah it sucks but it's home: Residing in the in the more industrial side of the planet and now ruined ship yards and ghettos the racketeers have only radiated cooling ponds and large sumps dug to collect rain water on the occasion that it does rain in this hell hole of a location. But luckily the cities stupider gang took control of this section of the city otherwise they could potentially figure out that the giant factories they are partying could be used to build star ships. Truly ignorance is bliss for these people and they just live out their short and violent lives in the rocket city. However food is not really an issue here and that is for a more disturbing reason
I'll take a slice of soylent green and medium coke:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q16o9WsyUN8/TyBsw8YxUbI/AAAAAAAAKuE/ejG4oCHLyGs/s1600/soylent-green.jpg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=4YZAwRYpCbA
It's what you think it is, the majority of the food here for the mixed species of races is a feeding frenzy. Normally the people of this section eat any rival gang members or visitors unlucky enough to come across them. Years and years of prolonged cannibalism and irradiated water has caused these people to become absolutely mad and crazed. Mad Cow Disease and Murder are the two leading causes of death in this section of the city but since they all breed like rats most of the gangs ranks and population are replenished by their never ending breeding.
Like father like son: Being a place where anarchy reigns true people have not heard of the concept of birth control and population rates. So there is a high birth rate in this section, the gang receives its almost never ending stream of members from every year that passes and their children grow. Most kids join as early as six to be like the only example they have for them, Rocket city is not a very family oriented place so most children are normally very accustomed to killing and partying before they even hit puberty. Families here are usually traditional and interbreeding is common between races, but children usually stay with their families or are abandoned to face the streets of rocket city alone.
Gimme that rock: Addiction is a real pain, to the east of the Racketeers a gang and society lives known as Cheshire's Children and they produce what's known to the galaxy as Glitterstim a type of spice that is quite addictive really. So the Racketeers have a deal to serve as muscle for the gang in exchange for lots and lots of spice to use at their family barbecues and get togethers.
CHESHIRE'S CHILDREN IN WONDERLAND
http://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=_ifbKould40
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't." Lewis Cheshire
Cheshire's Children: Dangling on the brighter side of madness towards the east in the more forested slash suburban area of the planet lays the gang known as Cheshire's Children. They are more friendly and civil than other gangs on the planet Cheshire's Children consist of 1.5 billion people total making them one of the more weaker forces on the planet. However this does not make them defenseless, owning a actual trade navy they are the most well off due to their trade in glitterstim. The smaller section of the city just wants to be left alone to cook, sell, and use their spice as they see fit.

Customs? Perhaps he means custard?: Wonderland is a place where spice and creativity flows daily, there is little crime since everyone is mostly high off their rockers due to being a citizen of wonderland glitterstim is free. For a place where drugs are the number one export everything mostly centers around the bright and creative world they live in. Happiness is a very key part to culture here and most people interact on a very happy and fun basis. Mushrooms grow and some life is actually found in the forests. Though they may all be painted in polkadots and stripes they still live in this gentle world where most of the people have a pleasurable set of mind and telepathic powers due to long term spice abuse. That is not to say wonderland is not without it's flaws.
Glit-Bitters: A term for those whose addiction had gone past the realms of safety and even normality in wonderland these people are truly mad and dangerous even for this planets standards. But since the people of wonderland are normally on top of such things they are exiled to the outside places of wonderland where they are most likely killed. The worst Glit-Bitter incident the land has suffered was one of leader of the gang becoming mad due to her abuse of glitterstim and having a good amount of her loyal subjects killed and beheaded.
The Caves and Robots and spiders oh my!: Glitterstim is what makes this community what it is and they harvest it from large massive caves in the forests of wonderland from the spiders that produce it. But in the past there were problems from the get go with people stealing spiders and spice for their own personal use and gain. So a simple choice was made by the leader to have droids mine and harvest the spiders instead.
Order and disorder: Numbering only five hundred million the gang is very small compared to others and they are mostly all bleeding heart poets and writers working on the next best thing. But due to their money they make by selling their spice on Arcadia's black market the people are very well armed and can hold their own in a fight. The gang leader goes by the title Cheshire's Kat and he normally makes all the choices for the gang on who they affiliate with and sell their product to. The ranks of the gang do have some structure to them with smaller cliques and shot callers but for the most part it's ran by Cheshire's Kat and their advisors.
NOVA CITY ANGELS
Who they are: One of the more organized gangs in the city the angels are a more structured and rank based culture with a sense of morality and honor, two words that are really never heard on this planet at all. They believe that everything that happens, happens for a reason and nothing is left to chance. They have a more informal "military" from the people they have taken in who were soldiers that have been exiled from Liberty District One for whatever reason that may be. Angels want to simply exist and keep outsiders out of their lands and keep their people and resources safe from harm. It is one of the only places on the planet outside of the wall where people can have a traditional lifestyle with children and a family. Though it might be a little dangerous than most other traditional lives the gang makes sure that their people are protected under their leaders and arc angels corps to keep them from becoming diner for the racketeers or Glit-Bitters from the Cheshire's any form of spice and or cannibalism is illegal in this turf and people caught using or consuming another being will be punished under the full extent of the law in this land.
Leadership: Composed of a small council of shot callers the Angels are lead by a group of thirteen high ranking members who vote on most issues present at the time. Each head of state is in charge of something important whether it be military, resources, energy, banking, or even civilian welfare, everyone has a voice and the council is not bellow asking what the 3 billion people in their sector want from them.
Gods Holy Rays of Energy: In the more energy conservative section of the city the Angels sit on thousands upon thousands of solar panels where most of the planet gets its energy from. So over the years of chaos they have made sure that they have been defended and kept in good condition. They have even learned to operate and harness the rays of sun to provide clean and renewable energy to their people and even to the people of liberty district.
http://www.gamesthirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fall-2.jpg
Synergy: Being the only faction on the planet that allows the people of liberty to set up military bases on their turf with consent the angels have a very sacred truce and understanding with them. They provide the energy from the solar panels to liberty district and in return they help provide weapons and personnel against the chaos of life outside the wall. The two nations have a steady truce and often come to the others aid if a problem arises.
Arc Angel Corps: The "military" of the gang the Arc Angel Corps is what makes up most of the gangs members in the fight against Racketeers and the drug peddling from Cheshire's Children. They have less than traditional ranks in a standard military but they seem to make things work with the help of liberty city. They or more like a well trained militia than a formal military and would more than likely be able to slaughter the corps in battle, but the traditional militia is far superior to the other factions on the planet due to their large numbers and backing from liberty district.
http://wpcdn3.ripten.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/militia.jpg
Other roles and family life: Not everything in the gang centers around violence and fighting off the peril of cannibals and meth heads. There are people who are everything from scribes to doctors to even lawyers in their justice system. The Angels over time have evolved from a gang formed in order to fight and protect themselves to a small nation of people with their own values and morales. People in the gang even have families that they go home to every night. There are schools for children even though it is optional for your child to go they still exist for those who wish to better themselves and become more than just a grunt in the ranks. Families are well looked after and are fed to the best of the gangs ability through trade with liberty district and the crops they have. Life is considered precious here and the angels are willing to fight over it, but like every single player on the board there is one area, one section of the planet where they would never dare to step foot in. The Dark Zone.

THE DARK ZONE
Nobody knows: 1.5 billion people living in absolute darkness, 1.5 billion people that disappear from the streets during the day. No one knows who runs this place or what the people have become but this land has become a fairy tale land of rumors and stories because no one who has stepped foot inside of it has ever come out again. They say they just want to be left alone in the dark, others say they say they want to see the world shrouded in darkness and they are demons who steal the souls of their victims. All that is known that no one knows.
Stay Out:
All along the outside section of the dark zone the bodies of Racketeers, angels, Cheshire's, Liberty District soldiers and even off world merc teams hang from buildings from ropes to crucified bodies atop them. It sends a clear signal of whoever wanders in it never ends well for them. For thousands of miles in a radius of what could seem like "the wall" mutilated bodies are hung out to dry.

Red Eyes: The only person to have gone near the dark zone at night has reported to see only the blood red eyes shining in the darkness. Just waiting for you to come to them, waiting for you to take that first step and become one with the dark.
The Mystery continues: At the South Pole only darkness is found here, abandoned and empty streets during the day and red eyes at night the only sounds are the screams of those foolish enough to enter this place. Even to this day it's a mystery that aches and pleads to be solved.
HISTORY
425 ABY Home: In the beginning there was Coruscant, a bright beaming beacon of hope, freedom, democracy and life. A collection of thousand and thousands of alien life and diversity throughout the entire population. It truly was a paradise of culture for the republic. And that's where our story begins, on the streets and in the homes of this proud planet and with a republic senator from coruscant known as Augustus Lorandredd. Augustus was a man who had a bit of hindsight about him and he was extremely influential in the republic and on the planet of coruscant, a local celebrity if you will. He was destined for great things in life and he could of possibly become the chancellor of the republic if it were not for one small thing that would ravish the world.
428 ABY The Gulag Virus: the killer of life the gulag virus had spread to coruscant, and soon there would be over three million people infected and killed by it. This was not something that could be bought, reasoned with, or controlled at the moment. It was pure death incarnate and the young senator realized that ahead of time. Knowing that fighting would be futile he hatched a plan to save his people and solidify a place a place of power not only in a new republic but in the hearts and minds of the people saved. So coughing up every last credit he had the senator bought every last ship he could so be could save the souls beneath him.
429 ABY Exodus: Gathering up a mixed group of alien life that numbered well over a million lives Augustus and the people who joined him left the dying planet and those that could not be saved behind, thousands of creatures were taken live stock from nerfs to the glitterstim spiders from the criminal underworld of courscant all that could be saved under Augustus. Families torn apart never to be seen again by their loved ones, mothers giving up their sons and daughters to live a life with one thing that kept them going. Hope. A powerful four letter word that caused the sacrifice and continued existence of sentient life on coruscant.
429ABY - 434ABY Wandering: drifting through and past the core worlds looking for a home Augustus spend five years with his people looking for such a place. Some jumped ship after the first few years but keeping their faith in their leader most people stayed on having faith that Augustus would lead them to salvation, and he would. He would lead them to a new a whole new world where they would find happiness and peace in the region known as wild space far far far away from the home they once knew.
434ABY- 436 ABY We made it: Upon the fifth year of their voyage the people finally found a new planet suitable for their needs on the edge of wild space, beautiful lush and rich in Alum ore the planet was perfect to start the colonizing. And colonizing began fast. Sprawling out onto the new planet Augustus and his people began to build towns, homes and places to live in peace now safe from the virus that had killed millions of people. Over the course of two years they built up their homes and became a rather peaceful civilization with a very healthy birth rate. But a place like this needed a government and people to lead it. So that's when the planet was named and lead by the very person who they owed their lives to.
436 ABY the founding of The New Republic of Lorandredd: Under the leadership that had brought them here Augustus recreated the senate of coruscant and the people didn't even think twice to name him chancellor for life. Laying the foundation for democracy on the planet he established everything and laid the ground for a successful and booming planet for the next three hundred years after his death in 460 ABY.
460 ABY - 763 ABY From humble towns to noble sky scrapers: Over the course of two hundred years while the galaxy was plunged into darkness Lorandredd was busy building itself up into a planetary city almost like a miniature coruscant. Everything was running like it was during the peak of civilization and people were happy with the position they were in. Well most people at least, over the course of the three hundred years of development on the planet there had been a rise in criminal activity. Large gangs popped up over night, figure heads from every different part of the planet began to run through and gather people from every corner of the globe to join in the criminal movement. And soon the planet had to set the stage for players that would soon change everything.
767 ABY Sol and the Racketeers: To the west in the industrial ship yards of the planet a gang was on the rise, a gang that was fed up with the norm and people telling them what to do and how to act. So they broke away from the norm and unified together underneath the man known as Sol Grundy, a mad man with a taste for death and drugs. He began his fight against the Republic of Lorandredd by having the members of his gang loot, rob and burn anything they could. This quickly earned Sol a name on the kill list of the government his people along with them. Sol didn't want to be told what to do and his madness knew no bounds when it came to completing his task. And that task was to tear down the system and everything around it.
767 ABY..
[4:52:59 PM] Aaron: 767 ABY Sol and the Racketeers: To the west in the industrial ship yards of the planet a gang was on the rise, a gang that was fed up with the norm and people telling them what to do and how to act. So they broke away from the norm and unified together underneath the man known as Sol Grundy, a mad man with a taste for death and drugs. He began his fight against the Republic of Lorandredd by having the members of his gang loot, rob and burn anything they could. This quickly earned Sol a name on the kill list of the government his people along with them. Sol didn't want to be told what to do and his madness knew no bounds when it came to completing his task. And that task was to tear down the system and everything around it.
767 ABY - 769 ABY Lewis Cheshire and his lovely lovely drugs: The republic was in full swing to take down the rising threat that was turning into a full blown rebellion against them, so much so that they didn't seem to notice that the spiders known for producing the spice known as Glitterstim in the labs of the capital were stolen. Stolen by the scientist who was assigned to care for them and study the effects of using their pheromones and webs to produce a happy gas that would quell the fighting going on in the shipping district that was spreading further into the city. So taking the spiders for himself Lewis fled to his safe house in more forested area of the world he found a cave system in which he could place the spiders and begin the harvesting of the spice he could use to make himself rich.
Quickly gaining a following of spice addicts and other various forms of mad men Lewis amassed enough money to fund a small army of people to protect his investments, hiring almost every form of scum and hired gun Lewis founded the gang known as the Cheshire Madmen and sold spice in almost every section of the planet. Things were getting very bad very fast for the planet and it's government was being thrown into despair over what was going on.
772 ABY Can you count suckas?!: The problem of gangs, spice, and crime had become so bad on the planet that the number of gang members soon outnumbered the entire military of the system. Slowly and slowly the chaos and criminal activity began to envelop the world leaving the senate no other choice but to declare martial law and begin what would become the beginning of the end.
775 ABY The assassination of Sol Grundy and Lewis Cheshire: A sith assassin was brought to the world to do what needed to be done, and on a dark and rainy night the assassin struck down both Lewis and Sol in a event that would send this world to hell. Not much is known on what happened to the assassin, but one thing is known. After the murders he never left the system feeling the massive flow of the dark side through it.
775 ABY - 790 ABY Chaos: Only enraging the people of the planet they began a fifteen year fight against the government throwing them out of almost every part of the city pushing them further and further north, lead by the racketeers and other minor gangs the Cheshire's Madmen reformed and joined the fight now known as Cheshire's Children. Chaos and blood spewed across the war torn city as thousands and thousands of people died. Ships were sunk and bridges were burned. The gangs took the city and attempted to push out what little remained of civilized life.
780 ABY The Dark Zone: During one of the battles of Lorandredd in the power district the battle caused a good portion of the planets generators to be destroyed causing the southern circle of the planet to lose complete power. Unknowingly creating what would soon haunt the nightmares of this planet the people of the souther tip were left to fend for themselves In darkness. Some people say that the assassin took residence there and trained the people to become like him and embrace the dark side of the force but not a lot is known about what became of the section of the planet.
790 ABY Wonderland: Regrouping after the death of their leader a new one soon took his place. Cheshire's wife became known as the Red Queen, she spent all her time and resources aimed at taking vengeance against the republic who had killed her husband. But suffering from glitterstim abuse her maddened mind shaped the section of the city where everything is happy and not what it seems. Bright colors and what looks to be a spice trip gone wrong paint the area known as wonderland as it spice addicts roam the forests and streets of the suburbs making life interesting to say the least. But the Queens hatred kept her occupied on the killing of the republic and all else who dared question her and recommended they stay out of it completely now that the government was out of their district. She would soon be banished and exiled after the war was finished due to the spice completely overtaking her, and would soon be replaced by a new head for the gang to sell their addictive product.
790 ABY - 800 ABY Our last hope: Being pushed to the breaking point and only remaining in the mountains of the planet the now crumbling republic of Lorandredd commissioned the building of the structure known as the wall from the reserves of Alum ore they had been stock piling over the years. Now in the course of ten bloody years the army of the republic held the stem of chaos off while the wall was built. It cost them many lives and over Half their military but when it was over the wall was complete and Liberty District 1 was founded. Keeping the horrors of the outside world out. the republic carried on with their lives now safe from total destruction. On the other side of the wall etched into it are the names of every last Sailor, Marine, and soldier who died defending freedom.
800 ABY - 815 ABY Angel's rising: The outside world was hell, pure hell. Civilians left and abandoned by their government left to be the victims of violent planetary gangs one faction rise above the death and despair to form there safe haven for people. The Angels of Nova City protectors of the weak. A group of close friends took a look at the lives they were living the chaos of the planet and decided enough was enough. Taking to the streets they rallied all of the remaining good people in their district and began to fight back against the insanity that was the Racketeers, their people were addicted to spice being peddled out of the territory Cheshire's Children were now calling wonderland, it had to stop all of it. So forming their own government the Angels fought back and eventually kicked the racketeers out of nova city entirely. Taking notice of their good deeds the republic reached out to the angels to begin relations and the process of working together to help retake the city from the chaos that was the racketeers and the madness of Cheshire. Together they might stand a chance.
815 ABY to present day: Now only known as Dredd the planet founded by the great man is now dead. His memory lost and forgotten by the majority of its people chaos runs the streets and everything on the planet is lost. The only question now that remains is, What will you do? Will you help take back a city lost in madness with Angels and the Liberty District? Will you stand up for what is right, or will you join in the bloodshed and destruction at the side of the Racketeers? Venture to wonderland and face the madness, or brave the Dark Zone to see what exactly happened. What will you do?

Libertarians the last hope of civilization: The people of Liberty District One are considered to be what remains of how the planet was founded. Much like coruscant and the republic the people of this place believe in democracy and beliefs that every person has a place in the government. The libertarians are their own self sufficient government and city with over 2 billion people living inside of it. They have everything from schools to hospital, colleges and even their own formal and well needed military to keep the chaos of the outside world out.
Liberty District 1 government: Hailing from coruscant during the Gulag virus the government consists of a senate to decide upon matters of importance whether it be dealing with the outside world of violence and death, figuring out how to renew water and other natural resources or the upkeep of city. There is a chancellor in office as well, but liberty district one follows the ideals and political values of the republic minus the Jedi.
The people of liberty: Everyone is really just trying to get by with their lives, they share the same culture as the planet of coruscant being a huge mixed diversity of alien religion and beliefs. Freedom of speech and religion is a right given to the people of Liberty District 1 so everyone just expresses themselves with their cultural identity, but one firm rule stands. You may practice your religion as long as it does not threaten the safety of people living in the district. Being at the northern pole of the planet they are located near the planets massive array of mountains so mining the metal known as Alum is a huge industry for the democratic nation. It is their number one export to Arcadia and is sold in large amounts but is also primarily used in the monstrous creation known simply as "The Wall".
The Wall: Made of solid Alum and spanning over 15946 kilometers (roughly the sice of the artic circle) the wall is a massive planetary fortification meant to keep the madness of the lost sections of the city. So no doubt a wall this big would of taken a very long time to build and have a massive force to guard it. And it does, twenty percent of the civilians in liberty district 1 serve actively in the military. The wall needs constant repairs and upkeep so normally the government contracts out to local companies that have been come to known as "Suicide Contractors" in fact a hit reality tv show has been made from their exploits on the planet. But surly a source of food is needed to feed all these troops and people that's why there is one massive norm here in liberty district

Everything from the smallest piece of food to the heftiest freighter gets recycled on this district, foods and seeds from crops are recollected from the civilians persnickety waste system and are replanted in the massive green houses of this world. Liberty District has a very small navy and can only do a few trips to the market world of Arcadia so often. So normally everything that is thrown away is always reused, to recycle is to save! From the brass and energy cells of our rifles to your plastic bags. It's a team effort here and with you we can take back our planet!
ROCKET CITY RACKETEERS

Who they are: The Racketeers, one of the biggest and oldest gangs on the planet on the outside of the wall are a gang based off of the love of angsty punk music and bad haircuts. They control well over 3 billion people in their turf alone, with at least 1.5 billion being gang members themselves, but being a gang that believes in disorder and anarchy the section of the city they live in is highly run down and consists of slums with very few natural resources. The Racketeers really just want to live free and die hard and as long as they have drugs and booze they are relatively happy, however there is a darker nature about them unlike most of the other people on this world.
Kark the system!!: Rules are for fools and liberty district drools! Anarchy at its finest the gang really has no leader, thus making them a very hard problem to deal with. You can't cut off the head of the snake if it doesn't have a head. They believe that liberty District is a evil controlling power that wants to rule over everything with their appointed government officials and their order. In rocket city the only thing that you need is an attitude to live free and the guts to stand up to the man.
Yeah it sucks but it's home: Residing in the in the more industrial side of the planet and now ruined ship yards and ghettos the racketeers have only radiated cooling ponds and large sumps dug to collect rain water on the occasion that it does rain in this hell hole of a location. But luckily the cities stupider gang took control of this section of the city otherwise they could potentially figure out that the giant factories they are partying could be used to build star ships. Truly ignorance is bliss for these people and they just live out their short and violent lives in the rocket city. However food is not really an issue here and that is for a more disturbing reason
I'll take a slice of soylent green and medium coke:

It's what you think it is, the majority of the food here for the mixed species of races is a feeding frenzy. Normally the people of this section eat any rival gang members or visitors unlucky enough to come across them. Years and years of prolonged cannibalism and irradiated water has caused these people to become absolutely mad and crazed. Mad Cow Disease and Murder are the two leading causes of death in this section of the city but since they all breed like rats most of the gangs ranks and population are replenished by their never ending breeding.
Like father like son: Being a place where anarchy reigns true people have not heard of the concept of birth control and population rates. So there is a high birth rate in this section, the gang receives its almost never ending stream of members from every year that passes and their children grow. Most kids join as early as six to be like the only example they have for them, Rocket city is not a very family oriented place so most children are normally very accustomed to killing and partying before they even hit puberty. Families here are usually traditional and interbreeding is common between races, but children usually stay with their families or are abandoned to face the streets of rocket city alone.
Gimme that rock: Addiction is a real pain, to the east of the Racketeers a gang and society lives known as Cheshire's Children and they produce what's known to the galaxy as Glitterstim a type of spice that is quite addictive really. So the Racketeers have a deal to serve as muscle for the gang in exchange for lots and lots of spice to use at their family barbecues and get togethers.
CHESHIRE'S CHILDREN IN WONDERLAND
http://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=_ifbKould40
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't." Lewis Cheshire
Cheshire's Children: Dangling on the brighter side of madness towards the east in the more forested slash suburban area of the planet lays the gang known as Cheshire's Children. They are more friendly and civil than other gangs on the planet Cheshire's Children consist of 1.5 billion people total making them one of the more weaker forces on the planet. However this does not make them defenseless, owning a actual trade navy they are the most well off due to their trade in glitterstim. The smaller section of the city just wants to be left alone to cook, sell, and use their spice as they see fit.

Customs? Perhaps he means custard?: Wonderland is a place where spice and creativity flows daily, there is little crime since everyone is mostly high off their rockers due to being a citizen of wonderland glitterstim is free. For a place where drugs are the number one export everything mostly centers around the bright and creative world they live in. Happiness is a very key part to culture here and most people interact on a very happy and fun basis. Mushrooms grow and some life is actually found in the forests. Though they may all be painted in polkadots and stripes they still live in this gentle world where most of the people have a pleasurable set of mind and telepathic powers due to long term spice abuse. That is not to say wonderland is not without it's flaws.
Glit-Bitters: A term for those whose addiction had gone past the realms of safety and even normality in wonderland these people are truly mad and dangerous even for this planets standards. But since the people of wonderland are normally on top of such things they are exiled to the outside places of wonderland where they are most likely killed. The worst Glit-Bitter incident the land has suffered was one of leader of the gang becoming mad due to her abuse of glitterstim and having a good amount of her loyal subjects killed and beheaded.
The Caves and Robots and spiders oh my!: Glitterstim is what makes this community what it is and they harvest it from large massive caves in the forests of wonderland from the spiders that produce it. But in the past there were problems from the get go with people stealing spiders and spice for their own personal use and gain. So a simple choice was made by the leader to have droids mine and harvest the spiders instead.
Order and disorder: Numbering only five hundred million the gang is very small compared to others and they are mostly all bleeding heart poets and writers working on the next best thing. But due to their money they make by selling their spice on Arcadia's black market the people are very well armed and can hold their own in a fight. The gang leader goes by the title Cheshire's Kat and he normally makes all the choices for the gang on who they affiliate with and sell their product to. The ranks of the gang do have some structure to them with smaller cliques and shot callers but for the most part it's ran by Cheshire's Kat and their advisors.
NOVA CITY ANGELS
Who they are: One of the more organized gangs in the city the angels are a more structured and rank based culture with a sense of morality and honor, two words that are really never heard on this planet at all. They believe that everything that happens, happens for a reason and nothing is left to chance. They have a more informal "military" from the people they have taken in who were soldiers that have been exiled from Liberty District One for whatever reason that may be. Angels want to simply exist and keep outsiders out of their lands and keep their people and resources safe from harm. It is one of the only places on the planet outside of the wall where people can have a traditional lifestyle with children and a family. Though it might be a little dangerous than most other traditional lives the gang makes sure that their people are protected under their leaders and arc angels corps to keep them from becoming diner for the racketeers or Glit-Bitters from the Cheshire's any form of spice and or cannibalism is illegal in this turf and people caught using or consuming another being will be punished under the full extent of the law in this land.
Leadership: Composed of a small council of shot callers the Angels are lead by a group of thirteen high ranking members who vote on most issues present at the time. Each head of state is in charge of something important whether it be military, resources, energy, banking, or even civilian welfare, everyone has a voice and the council is not bellow asking what the 3 billion people in their sector want from them.
Gods Holy Rays of Energy: In the more energy conservative section of the city the Angels sit on thousands upon thousands of solar panels where most of the planet gets its energy from. So over the years of chaos they have made sure that they have been defended and kept in good condition. They have even learned to operate and harness the rays of sun to provide clean and renewable energy to their people and even to the people of liberty district.
http://www.gamesthirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fall-2.jpg
Synergy: Being the only faction on the planet that allows the people of liberty to set up military bases on their turf with consent the angels have a very sacred truce and understanding with them. They provide the energy from the solar panels to liberty district and in return they help provide weapons and personnel against the chaos of life outside the wall. The two nations have a steady truce and often come to the others aid if a problem arises.
Arc Angel Corps: The "military" of the gang the Arc Angel Corps is what makes up most of the gangs members in the fight against Racketeers and the drug peddling from Cheshire's Children. They have less than traditional ranks in a standard military but they seem to make things work with the help of liberty city. They or more like a well trained militia than a formal military and would more than likely be able to slaughter the corps in battle, but the traditional militia is far superior to the other factions on the planet due to their large numbers and backing from liberty district.

Other roles and family life: Not everything in the gang centers around violence and fighting off the peril of cannibals and meth heads. There are people who are everything from scribes to doctors to even lawyers in their justice system. The Angels over time have evolved from a gang formed in order to fight and protect themselves to a small nation of people with their own values and morales. People in the gang even have families that they go home to every night. There are schools for children even though it is optional for your child to go they still exist for those who wish to better themselves and become more than just a grunt in the ranks. Families are well looked after and are fed to the best of the gangs ability through trade with liberty district and the crops they have. Life is considered precious here and the angels are willing to fight over it, but like every single player on the board there is one area, one section of the planet where they would never dare to step foot in. The Dark Zone.

THE DARK ZONE
Nobody knows: 1.5 billion people living in absolute darkness, 1.5 billion people that disappear from the streets during the day. No one knows who runs this place or what the people have become but this land has become a fairy tale land of rumors and stories because no one who has stepped foot inside of it has ever come out again. They say they just want to be left alone in the dark, others say they say they want to see the world shrouded in darkness and they are demons who steal the souls of their victims. All that is known that no one knows.
Stay Out:
All along the outside section of the dark zone the bodies of Racketeers, angels, Cheshire's, Liberty District soldiers and even off world merc teams hang from buildings from ropes to crucified bodies atop them. It sends a clear signal of whoever wanders in it never ends well for them. For thousands of miles in a radius of what could seem like "the wall" mutilated bodies are hung out to dry.

Red Eyes: The only person to have gone near the dark zone at night has reported to see only the blood red eyes shining in the darkness. Just waiting for you to come to them, waiting for you to take that first step and become one with the dark.
The Mystery continues: At the South Pole only darkness is found here, abandoned and empty streets during the day and red eyes at night the only sounds are the screams of those foolish enough to enter this place. Even to this day it's a mystery that aches and pleads to be solved.
HISTORY
425 ABY Home: In the beginning there was Coruscant, a bright beaming beacon of hope, freedom, democracy and life. A collection of thousand and thousands of alien life and diversity throughout the entire population. It truly was a paradise of culture for the republic. And that's where our story begins, on the streets and in the homes of this proud planet and with a republic senator from coruscant known as Augustus Lorandredd. Augustus was a man who had a bit of hindsight about him and he was extremely influential in the republic and on the planet of coruscant, a local celebrity if you will. He was destined for great things in life and he could of possibly become the chancellor of the republic if it were not for one small thing that would ravish the world.
428 ABY The Gulag Virus: the killer of life the gulag virus had spread to coruscant, and soon there would be over three million people infected and killed by it. This was not something that could be bought, reasoned with, or controlled at the moment. It was pure death incarnate and the young senator realized that ahead of time. Knowing that fighting would be futile he hatched a plan to save his people and solidify a place a place of power not only in a new republic but in the hearts and minds of the people saved. So coughing up every last credit he had the senator bought every last ship he could so be could save the souls beneath him.
429 ABY Exodus: Gathering up a mixed group of alien life that numbered well over a million lives Augustus and the people who joined him left the dying planet and those that could not be saved behind, thousands of creatures were taken live stock from nerfs to the glitterstim spiders from the criminal underworld of courscant all that could be saved under Augustus. Families torn apart never to be seen again by their loved ones, mothers giving up their sons and daughters to live a life with one thing that kept them going. Hope. A powerful four letter word that caused the sacrifice and continued existence of sentient life on coruscant.
429ABY - 434ABY Wandering: drifting through and past the core worlds looking for a home Augustus spend five years with his people looking for such a place. Some jumped ship after the first few years but keeping their faith in their leader most people stayed on having faith that Augustus would lead them to salvation, and he would. He would lead them to a new a whole new world where they would find happiness and peace in the region known as wild space far far far away from the home they once knew.
434ABY- 436 ABY We made it: Upon the fifth year of their voyage the people finally found a new planet suitable for their needs on the edge of wild space, beautiful lush and rich in Alum ore the planet was perfect to start the colonizing. And colonizing began fast. Sprawling out onto the new planet Augustus and his people began to build towns, homes and places to live in peace now safe from the virus that had killed millions of people. Over the course of two years they built up their homes and became a rather peaceful civilization with a very healthy birth rate. But a place like this needed a government and people to lead it. So that's when the planet was named and lead by the very person who they owed their lives to.
436 ABY the founding of The New Republic of Lorandredd: Under the leadership that had brought them here Augustus recreated the senate of coruscant and the people didn't even think twice to name him chancellor for life. Laying the foundation for democracy on the planet he established everything and laid the ground for a successful and booming planet for the next three hundred years after his death in 460 ABY.
460 ABY - 763 ABY From humble towns to noble sky scrapers: Over the course of two hundred years while the galaxy was plunged into darkness Lorandredd was busy building itself up into a planetary city almost like a miniature coruscant. Everything was running like it was during the peak of civilization and people were happy with the position they were in. Well most people at least, over the course of the three hundred years of development on the planet there had been a rise in criminal activity. Large gangs popped up over night, figure heads from every different part of the planet began to run through and gather people from every corner of the globe to join in the criminal movement. And soon the planet had to set the stage for players that would soon change everything.
767 ABY Sol and the Racketeers: To the west in the industrial ship yards of the planet a gang was on the rise, a gang that was fed up with the norm and people telling them what to do and how to act. So they broke away from the norm and unified together underneath the man known as Sol Grundy, a mad man with a taste for death and drugs. He began his fight against the Republic of Lorandredd by having the members of his gang loot, rob and burn anything they could. This quickly earned Sol a name on the kill list of the government his people along with them. Sol didn't want to be told what to do and his madness knew no bounds when it came to completing his task. And that task was to tear down the system and everything around it.
767 ABY..
[4:52:59 PM] Aaron: 767 ABY Sol and the Racketeers: To the west in the industrial ship yards of the planet a gang was on the rise, a gang that was fed up with the norm and people telling them what to do and how to act. So they broke away from the norm and unified together underneath the man known as Sol Grundy, a mad man with a taste for death and drugs. He began his fight against the Republic of Lorandredd by having the members of his gang loot, rob and burn anything they could. This quickly earned Sol a name on the kill list of the government his people along with them. Sol didn't want to be told what to do and his madness knew no bounds when it came to completing his task. And that task was to tear down the system and everything around it.
767 ABY - 769 ABY Lewis Cheshire and his lovely lovely drugs: The republic was in full swing to take down the rising threat that was turning into a full blown rebellion against them, so much so that they didn't seem to notice that the spiders known for producing the spice known as Glitterstim in the labs of the capital were stolen. Stolen by the scientist who was assigned to care for them and study the effects of using their pheromones and webs to produce a happy gas that would quell the fighting going on in the shipping district that was spreading further into the city. So taking the spiders for himself Lewis fled to his safe house in more forested area of the world he found a cave system in which he could place the spiders and begin the harvesting of the spice he could use to make himself rich.
Quickly gaining a following of spice addicts and other various forms of mad men Lewis amassed enough money to fund a small army of people to protect his investments, hiring almost every form of scum and hired gun Lewis founded the gang known as the Cheshire Madmen and sold spice in almost every section of the planet. Things were getting very bad very fast for the planet and it's government was being thrown into despair over what was going on.
772 ABY Can you count suckas?!: The problem of gangs, spice, and crime had become so bad on the planet that the number of gang members soon outnumbered the entire military of the system. Slowly and slowly the chaos and criminal activity began to envelop the world leaving the senate no other choice but to declare martial law and begin what would become the beginning of the end.
775 ABY The assassination of Sol Grundy and Lewis Cheshire: A sith assassin was brought to the world to do what needed to be done, and on a dark and rainy night the assassin struck down both Lewis and Sol in a event that would send this world to hell. Not much is known on what happened to the assassin, but one thing is known. After the murders he never left the system feeling the massive flow of the dark side through it.
775 ABY - 790 ABY Chaos: Only enraging the people of the planet they began a fifteen year fight against the government throwing them out of almost every part of the city pushing them further and further north, lead by the racketeers and other minor gangs the Cheshire's Madmen reformed and joined the fight now known as Cheshire's Children. Chaos and blood spewed across the war torn city as thousands and thousands of people died. Ships were sunk and bridges were burned. The gangs took the city and attempted to push out what little remained of civilized life.
780 ABY The Dark Zone: During one of the battles of Lorandredd in the power district the battle caused a good portion of the planets generators to be destroyed causing the southern circle of the planet to lose complete power. Unknowingly creating what would soon haunt the nightmares of this planet the people of the souther tip were left to fend for themselves In darkness. Some people say that the assassin took residence there and trained the people to become like him and embrace the dark side of the force but not a lot is known about what became of the section of the planet.
790 ABY Wonderland: Regrouping after the death of their leader a new one soon took his place. Cheshire's wife became known as the Red Queen, she spent all her time and resources aimed at taking vengeance against the republic who had killed her husband. But suffering from glitterstim abuse her maddened mind shaped the section of the city where everything is happy and not what it seems. Bright colors and what looks to be a spice trip gone wrong paint the area known as wonderland as it spice addicts roam the forests and streets of the suburbs making life interesting to say the least. But the Queens hatred kept her occupied on the killing of the republic and all else who dared question her and recommended they stay out of it completely now that the government was out of their district. She would soon be banished and exiled after the war was finished due to the spice completely overtaking her, and would soon be replaced by a new head for the gang to sell their addictive product.
790 ABY - 800 ABY Our last hope: Being pushed to the breaking point and only remaining in the mountains of the planet the now crumbling republic of Lorandredd commissioned the building of the structure known as the wall from the reserves of Alum ore they had been stock piling over the years. Now in the course of ten bloody years the army of the republic held the stem of chaos off while the wall was built. It cost them many lives and over Half their military but when it was over the wall was complete and Liberty District 1 was founded. Keeping the horrors of the outside world out. the republic carried on with their lives now safe from total destruction. On the other side of the wall etched into it are the names of every last Sailor, Marine, and soldier who died defending freedom.
800 ABY - 815 ABY Angel's rising: The outside world was hell, pure hell. Civilians left and abandoned by their government left to be the victims of violent planetary gangs one faction rise above the death and despair to form there safe haven for people. The Angels of Nova City protectors of the weak. A group of close friends took a look at the lives they were living the chaos of the planet and decided enough was enough. Taking to the streets they rallied all of the remaining good people in their district and began to fight back against the insanity that was the Racketeers, their people were addicted to spice being peddled out of the territory Cheshire's Children were now calling wonderland, it had to stop all of it. So forming their own government the Angels fought back and eventually kicked the racketeers out of nova city entirely. Taking notice of their good deeds the republic reached out to the angels to begin relations and the process of working together to help retake the city from the chaos that was the racketeers and the madness of Cheshire. Together they might stand a chance.
815 ABY to present day: Now only known as Dredd the planet founded by the great man is now dead. His memory lost and forgotten by the majority of its people chaos runs the streets and everything on the planet is lost. The only question now that remains is, What will you do? Will you help take back a city lost in madness with Angels and the Liberty District? Will you stand up for what is right, or will you join in the bloodshed and destruction at the side of the Racketeers? Venture to wonderland and face the madness, or brave the Dark Zone to see what exactly happened. What will you do?
Intent: To create a massively diverse and unique world where players can have fun and help add to the empty section of the galaxy known as wild space.
