This is the introduction to the world of Hardwar.
Hardwar is a fast-paced tactical combat game set in plausible future of dawning 22nd century - a blend of dystopia and utopia in which nations are squeezed by the pressure of super-powerful corporations, and yet space travel beyond the borders of our solar system lies tentatively within our grasp. Many challenges of disease and poverty seem to have been overcome, yet the megawealthy continue to treat the world as a playground that bends to their whim.
In such an environment, full-blown war is rare. But small, secretive conflicts of fierce intensity are commonplace and corporations employ “security forces” with access to top-level military hardware in numbers that would put many smaller nations’ militaries to shame.
