Furqan stood before Wanderer, the weight of the current situation in Europa heavy on his shoulders. The air was thick with tension as he began to speak, his voice steady but laced with concern.
"Europa has been engulfed in decades of conflict since the Great War of WW4," he explained, his brow furrowing. "Warlords and military industries have risen from the ashes, each vying for power and control. The landscape is a patchwork of territories, each ruled by those who can wield the most influence or firepower. The people are caught in a relentless cycle of violence, more focused on their regional skirmishes than on addressing the dire state of the Earth's inner core."
He paused, letting the gravity of his words sink in. "Rumors swirl about the 'Hollow,' an abyss in the Earth's mantle that supposedly offers rare resources. But instead of uniting to explore this potential, factions are more concerned with their own interests. The Fragmentum, a mysterious force, has begun to invade various parts of Europa, further complicating matters. The fear it instills only fuels the regional warfare, as leaders scramble to protect their territories from both external threats and each other."
Furqan's gaze intensified "The military industry is thriving amidst this chaos. Four major players dominate the arms market, each with their own agenda. Belobog Industries, remnants of the Soviet war machine, provide cheap weaponry but reserve the best for their 'trusted' clients. Their eccentric leader, Koleda, has even orchestrated battle royales among top commanders to maintain control over the warlords."
He shifted slightly, emphasizing the next point "Then there's Svarog Industries, the successors to NATO, boasting cutting-edge technology at a premium price. Their weapons are luxury items, but their militaristic tendencies make them ruthless competitors. The Free World Consortium operates like a parasitic entity, offering reliability but at a steep cost, often integrating their entire system into the buyer's operations."
