In the early 22nd century, after the Great Nations War for Water, a single nation, against all odds, refused to fall. Drawing on its vast natural resources and the unbreakable spirit of its people, it became the first power to rise from the global collapse. In time, other nations re-emerged, but none with the same strength or speed.
Investors, scientists, and visionaries flocked to its territory, transforming it into what we now know, in the year 2148, as Sarac. At its technological heart lies the magnificent city of San Cristov, a metropolis of towering skyscrapers, bullet trains, and suspended plazas that, just a century ago, would have seemed unimaginable.
With the founding of Sarac came the establishment of the Federal Yoke Department (F.Y.D.). This autonomous federal entity, with nationwide jurisdiction, was created to preserve order in both the public and private spheres. It is the highest-level operational body, superseding police forces, military, and civilian agencies, and answers only to the President of the Republic and a Federal National Security Committee.
Sarac's unprecedented scientific advancements have allowed for a nearly perfect integration of the human nervous system and technology. This led to the creation of cybernetic implants: advanced prosthetics that restore lost functions, enhance capabilities, and blur the line between human and artificial.
Yet, even in a world reborn through science, ambition never ceases. In an era where moving forward means living and staying behind means extinction, corporations of all kinds fund brilliant scientists of any age with innovative ideas.
A new gold rush is underway, where innovation is the most valuable currency. Bioengineering, AI, robotics, medicine, weaponry, cybersecurity—everything is developing at a dizzying pace.
But no one calculated the true cost: the silent dehumanization hidden behind every advance. Because in its eagerness to create, humanity has never stopped building the one thing it has always perfected: its own destruction.
