The League of the Fallen Lands

“You dropped your sky on our heads. Now it’s ours.”

The debris lies on their land, in their cities, on their families’ graves. The Consortium never paid a cent of compensation. Ringsalvage is the only reparation they will ever get, and they mean to keep every field of it.

How it plays

Mass and improvisation

Wide armies · every field · every wreck

Militias, salvage crews and city councils with machines that were excavators and cranes this morning. Cheap, tough, repairable.

You win by being everywhere at once and by owning the fields. Wide armies that trade evenly and keep coming. Strong at holding many fields and at grinding fights. Weak in a straight duel of quality against quality, and slow to move a heavy army.

A lost unit is replaceable. A lost field is not.

Build on the field

A Salvage Camp can be placed on or beside any debris field, outside the normal build area, and defended with bunkers. A forward base at every field.

Field repair

League vehicles patch themselves up slowly when out of combat. A Mechanic crew repairs faster, for free.

Wrecks pay

Destroyed vehicles, theirs or yours, leave a wreck for a while. A Crawler strips it for credits. Every battle feeds the League.

Speaker of the League

Imani Wekesa

“Thirteen years on, the sky is still falling.”

Seventeen on the night of the Fall, an apprentice in a Ring maintenance team at the foot of Lift Three in Port Meridian. Her team sent her down to the yard for a part. She was the only one of them found at dawn. Thirteen years of salvage since have taught her Ring technology better than most in the Consortium. Elected speaker in 2105, the youngest the League has had. She still wears her mentor’s jacket.

Military commander

Rafael Duarte

“Hit them, take the field, get out.”

Rose through the militias of the South American belt, where the first salvage wars were fought between neighbours. Wins with units that were excavators and cranes that morning. Respects Wekesa’s results more than her age, and wants a reckoning with the Consortium that she does not.

The League is a league: states, cities and free communities along the whole belt, from West Africa to the Pacific. Some members sell salvage outside the belt in secret. Hardliners want to march on Lift Four. Wekesa holds it together, for now.

The other side

Against the Consortium

The Meridian Consortium

	The League	The Consortium
Army	Many, cheap, tough, short range	Few, expensive, shielded, long range
Economy	Robust crawlers; camps at every field; salvage from wrecks	Fast, fragile drones; a few big fields
Strength	Map control, grinding fights, recovering from losses	Holding a position, winning trades, information from orbit
Weakness	Quality duels; a slow heavy army; spread thin	Being swarmed; drone raids; a lost army is a lost game
The plan	Expand to every field, wear them down, overwhelm	Hold a strong position, strike precisely, deny fields with range
