Fifty years after defeating a world invasion of unknown mechanical machines known as the Arc humanity once again is threatened by a more determined, ruthless and organised Arc threat. Like in the first Arc invasion fifty years ago humanity was forced to live underground as the surface was controlled by the Arc. To maintain these underground facilities and to feed the population there was a need to return to the surface looking for supplies, salvaging equipment, anything which might be of use. A small group of people braved the surface daily, evading the Arc looking for these supplies. Many did not return. Those who braved this calling were known as, The Raiders. These men and women were humanity’s only hope of survival.
