The community of Tranquility was closed down due to mass rioting during the Pale Wars. All that remained were EMC personnel.
5 EGO Rating
Mount Tam was once a rural, backwoods territory until the arks arrived and the EMC turned it into an inter-species community.
5 EGO RatingProject Tranquility was the UN's proposed inter-species social experiment where Votans and Humans lived side by side.
5 EGO RatingSome Tranquility residents were bussed out of town, never to be heard from again, creating rumors of a secret agenda behind the scenes.
5 EGO Rating
"There's a lot of rumors going around about the community that used to be in Mount Tam. The truth may never be found. At least not until someone is fool enough to sift through the rubble to find it. From what I've heard, though, I hope that never happens."
- Captain Noah Grant, E-Rep Officer
5 EGO Rating
Mount Tam is an eerie, terraformed landscape where mutants infest the ruins of a defunct inter-species community once called Tranquility.
The appearance of the Raiders in Madera has always been suspicious. It is often rumored that Varus Soleptor may know more about why they're here than he claims.
5 EGO Rating
Prior to the Arkfall, Madera was suburbia. All of that is long lost to terraforming, but hope of another community remains with the farmers and ranchers who now strive to call it home.
5 EGO RatingMadera is the heart of the community of Paradise, but that would not be possible without the steady hand of Lawkeeper Jon Cooper.
5 EGO RatingThe Arkfall and the subsequent terraforming infused the whole Bay Area, Madera especially, with rich deposits of gulanite and other minerals.
"All the new resources in this terraformed landscape have everyone jumping on the hope and prosperity bandwagon. Unfortunately for many, death and despair are hitching a ride." - Lawkeeper Jon Cooper
Rual Madera is a settled territory in the Bay Area where hope and prosperity reign. However, it has recently been overrun by new world bandits called Raiders.
"Their capacity for adaptation is astounding. It is a shame we will have to destroy them in order to ensure our own survival." - Eren NiDen
These mutated hellbugs are proving quite resistant to traditional weapons. Experiment to discover their strengths and weaknesses.
A stranger has arrived to Paradise harboring ominous news. A long-forgotten danger threatens to rise in the Bay again and only you can help stop it.
Now more machine than man, the Ninety-Niners continue to mindlessly excavate and hoard gulanite deep within the vault that is Mine 99.
Marin, like most of the Bay Area, is rich with gulanite. The Muir Union Mines once represented the best chance at prosperity for the people of Paradise.
Over time, the Ninety-Niners were consumed by a madness that compromised their humanity and fueled their lust for gulanite.
In their endless and insane quest for efficiency, the Ninety-Niners replaced most of their organic body parts with cybernetic enhancements.
"The price of true prosperity is a fee most people are not willing to pay. I mean, the Muir Union miners traded actual body parts for it! Regardless of that nonsense, at least those rust jobs understood sacrifice." - Varus Soleptor, CEO of Soleptor Enterprises
"Jek! If you want me to reinforce every bridge in Marin, you'll not only pay me a pile of scrip, but also supply an army to keep me from getting fragged." - Rosa Rodriguez, Top-Notch Toolworks
Marin was a miner's paradise turned into hell. Crazed cyborgs have descended from the hills to seize control of the roads and mining sites.
"No equal. No questions. No defeat." - Viktor Zaitzev
The Lawkeeper Network is looking for civilians to call out for their outstanding service to their respected communities. If you can help take care of some trouble for me, I'll do what I can to get your name listed large, bold, and at the top.
Being noticed by the Lawkeeper's Network for good deeds is a satisfactory way to get your name out there. Being noticed by the Lawkeeper's Network for nefarious deeds is a guarantee.
The Raiders came to Sausalito to plunder the fuel source for their ships, only to form an unexpected alliance.
Deep below Sausalito, a hellbug colony has thrived and created enormous deposits of crude petrohol through consumption of gulanite.
Sausalito became the primary source of fuel for the community of Paradise, transporting petrohol aboard haulers daily.
Sausalito was home to an EMC reserve weapons and munitions bunker that was sealed after the Pale Wars.
"I came to this place to get away from people. Away from blood and bullets. A rusty bolt was supposed to be my biggest stress. But Raiders rats just can't let sleeping dogs lie. Roxi's ready to bite now." - Torc Mok, Chief Mechanic of Headlands Transit
Sausalito is the remote industrial and transportation lifeline to the Bay Area community of Paradise. It has recently come under attack by malicious, belligerent, and cannibalistic Raiders.
The long-term effects of the terraform blast are something that may never be fully understood, but they can never be forgotten.
The Arkfall laid waste to the city of San Francisco, but it did not transform it into the wasteland you see today.
Scrappers began to appear in San Francisco only recently, following a series of minor arkfalls. There are rumors it is not just a local phenomenon.
At the climax of the Battle of Defiance, a devastating terraform blast laid waste to the land and killed thousands.
"The only things that remain in this inhospitable wasteland are danger and the sobering memories of Fort Defiance." - Ambassador Ara Shondu of Paradise
San Francisco is a terraformed wasteland and side of the historical Battle of Defiance. Only the brave, or crazy, would enter this forsaken territory.
The screams coming from Delta Bunker East suggest something dark and sinister is going on inside this old EMC installation.
The Raiders don't venture far from the safety of their camps. Ridgecrest Mine must contain something valuable to attack them underground.
The old 101 Keys reactor has been reactivated and the Raiders have been moving mass quantities of gulanite out to the island. Something is going on, and it's likely not good.
Settlers of Paradise have been avoiding Angel Island after numerous visitors to the island never returned. Why they haven't is still unknown.
The impregnable Mine 99 is unlike any other Ninety-Niner mine. You'd need an army to reach the bottom of this pit to discover its secret... or a well armed group of ark hunters.
Cronkhite Bunker was designed by the EMC to remain sealed until its reserve munitions were needed, but it seems someone has found a way in.
The old Scrapworks salvage yard has remained silent since the terraforming of San Francisco, but a series of recent nearby arkfalls has created a stir.
The life of an ark hunter is a nomadic one. You go where the arktech falls.
Due to the remote impact sites of most arkfalls, an ark hunter must be well trained in the combat arts to repel hostiles and rival arkers.
Making a career out of ark hunting is a risky business. Only a handful of ark hunters have survived the perils to become legends.
Ark Hunters have learned to control the guidance systems of ark modules and pull them out of orbit. We should investigate the wrecks which come down.
The mutants of the bay Area are relics of the Pale Wars; survivors altered by radiation and driven by xenophobic rage.
Hellbugs are a new life form born of the terraforming after Arkfall. They are truly an indigenous species of the new Frontier.
From afar, the Raiders appear to be an assemblage of a variety of races, but once you get closer... they will slit your throat.
Behind the crazed cybernatic face of each 99er lurks the tragic story of the Muir Union Miners and their descent into madness.
The animated junk piles known as scrappers often display group behaviors that suggest they are more than singular automatons.
The rogue Votanis Collective special combat force known as Dark Matter were all presumed dead, but have resurfaced as yet another deadly thread to the Bay Area.
Most of the ports in the Bay Area were completely destroyed, but a few remain that could possibly be secured and restored to operation.
After the discovery of the approaching arks, the EMC constructed a vast global network of small observatories to watch the starts.
With so many industrial and business centers in the Bay Area, it is no wonder that pockets of salvage-filled ruins can still remain undiscovered.
Ark hunters don't always find allies in their colleagues. What they often find are bloody rivals.
Legendary ark hunters do not rise to the top without spilling the blood of their rivals.
Echelon employs one of the last functional comm-sats to relay the data that ark hunters acquire for them from arkfall debris.
To Echelon, ark hunters are only as valuable as their ability to hold their ground and finish the job. Arktech data doesn't upload itself.
It's common for Echelon to offer open contracts for the acquisition of recent arkfalls, always attracting many competing ark hunters and starting a bloody skirmish.
In order to be the best, Echelon requires the best. Only by pitting ark hunters against one another can they find those worthy to become longterm operatives.
Succeed for Echelon and earn your pay. Excel for Echelon and earn your stay.
When you earn your stripes from Echelon, you become part of a fearless and loyal camaraderie.
An ark hunter that specializes in fulfilling Echelon contracts will earn the support and recognition of the world's largest mercenary corporation.
Only a few ark hunters have reached the upper ranks of Echelon to become invaluable covert agents, free to roam but loyal to the mercenary brotherhood.

The brutality of the Pale Wars was good training for the unrelenting firefights found in the wilds of the New Frontier.
Your assault rifle can be your only trusted friend in the frontier. Treat it well and it will serve proudly.
Many claim all Pale Wars veterans are heroes, but true heroes are the ones that still strive to inspire even after the wars are over.
Learning to keep your distance in the New Frontier will keep you alive.
Be silent and hidden when you shoot from afar, but be loud and seen when it's time to bring the noise.
Entire armies can be defeated by a single assassin armed with a complete arsenal... and complete absence of fear.
The New Frontier can be a lawless land where the most respect is given to the man with the biggest boomstick.
Sometimes the most effective form of defense is also the messiest.
In the New Frontier, it can be a fine line between fame and infamy.
Successful ark hunters are made to take a beating, while dishing it out twice as hard.
When the going gets tough, the smart get heavy weapons.
One ark hunter can become a living battle tank with enough firepower and clever tactics.
In the wilds of the New Frontier, you'll meet interesting and stimulating people of an exotic culture... and kill them.
Sometimes you have to treat life like one big bug hunt. Squash 'em all dead!
The way of the gun can make you more machine than man. A killing machine!
A hunter targets animals, not people. A true predator sends them all to slaughter.
Kill a few men, and you're a murderer. Kill a whole brigade, and you're a skruggin' immortal.
The new Frontier is not all dirt roads and broken highways. When there is no room to roll and it's too dangerous to walk, get a runner!
The Roller is the car of the post-Arkfall world. If you're not driving one, then you're not rugged enough for the frontier.
Cerberuses are relics of the Pale Wars. They are quick to turn the tide of any New Frontier conflict.
Every road leads somewhere.
Always remember, no matter where you go, there you are... with roadkill in your wake.
In the right hands, any vehicle can become a big, bad, roaring beast with an appetite for destruction.
The new frontier offers a wheelman danger and opportunities never imagined in the pre-Arkfall world.
Every ark hunter needs masterful command of their vehicles, but one with superior skills can leave all the rest behind.
Driving is a survival necessity, but it can also provide new opportunities to those willing to master the finer points of the craft.
VBI is very selective in whom they choose to do business with, let alone who they trust with their most advanced technology.
VBI is far more than its brilliant CEO, Karl Von Bach. It is as close to this world gets to a pre-Arkfall multi-national corporation.
Soleptor Enterprises is a frontier corporation that was forged on the resource opportunities of the Bay Area.
Many believe Varus to be nothing but a modern day robber baron, but without his investments, Paradise would not exist.
The value of Top-Notch Toolworks to the residents of Paradise cannot be overstated.
When you earn the trust of Rosa Rodriguez, you become part of the Top-Notch Toolworks family.
Killing is good business for Echelon, but there are other ways to earn scrip and recognition with them.
Echelon's executives are well aware that a true mercenary's assets go far beyond combat skills.
To stand with the Defiant Few, one must share their values of integrity to gain their respect.

It's a big terraformed frontier out there. Making friends can be hard when two-thirds of the population perished in the Arkfall.
A successful ark hunter can be measured by the amount of friends they have. Strive for success.
The New Frontier is a dangerous place for a lone ark hunter. Join and serve a clan and increase your chances of survival.
To be part of a clan's Inner Circle, a person must go above and beyond their limits to prove their worth.
Ark hunters hold the key to Earthkind's survival, but only if they work together.
There is only so far an ark hunter can rise on their own. Together, they will shine bright enough to blind the sunds of a thousand stars.
"From the ashes of war, we have risen into unity. Should we forget the discord which drove us apart, we will be doomed to repeat it and destroy the harmony we have achieved." - High Council Sett Morcu
The Anniversary of Armistice is a time to reflect on the errors of the world's combative past, while looking to the future for peace and understanding. However, ignorance, hatred, and acts of violence still persist, threatening to undermine the common goal of harmony.
History is repeating. In the shadow of Fort Defiance, armies fight once again. Silence the guns of war before they engulf the Bay and the world again.
A terrible disease is rising in Paradise, and it must be stopped before it spreads across the continent.
These poor souls that have reached stage 4 of the outbreak are beyond saving. Worse than that, their unbridled rage and violence only serve to spread the infection. These people must be put down.
Eren Niden has discovered a cure for those which have not yet progressed to phase 4 of the outbreak. The infected are drawn to her vaccine synthesizers. The synthesizers must be protected, or Paradise will fall before the whole world is consumed.
Echelon bounty hunters have rolled into Paradise looking for an ark hunter named "Nolan." He's an old friend of Lawkeeper Cooper and an ally of Rynn. If Nolan is in danger, they will want to know.
The Volge may be the one threat that ultimately unifies the New Frontier or destroys it for ever.
The Votanis Collective purposely left the Volge off the arks, yet they appeared in small numbers during the Pale Wars, fighting both Humans and Votans. How they arrived is a great mystery.
The Volge mysteriously appeared in the Votanis System and claimed the planet Omec, bringing the inhabitants of the planet to the brink of extinction. The Volge's presence in the galaxy was a severe threat to the exodus to Earth
Make contact with Nolan and Irisa to recover the Libera Nova gem for Varus.
