A Science Fiction Roleplay GMed by Aquataris and SYDAXARO220
Background
Just 80 years after the UK relinquished it's rule over Hong Kong, there occurred a huge revert in the powerhead of the nation. Melvin Bentley, the leader of the military force known as 'The Corps'; took control of the UK in a time of struggle. It was his influence that helped it return it to the military powerhouse it once was. As 'The Corps' grew, so did the ego of Melvin Bentley. He wanted power, he wanted embassy, he wanted empire!
With the aid of the US he decided that he would first retake Hong Kong. He succeeded. The 'Rebel War' was the first instance of Conflict in Hong Kong, between 'The Corps' and the Rebels. From that point on, the conflict continued. Melvin decided that those who didn't comply with his law, be segregated from those who did. Rather than letting those who rebelled live free, he decided to starve them of the luxuries that the rest of the world appreciate. These area would come to be known as the Dune Districts. This forced them into black market trade, and high levels of crime and interference-leading to harsh policing in these particular areas.
But it was only a matter of time before the rebellion would rise again.

CORPS-If you are a member of 'The Corps' you are seen as just another nameless pawn-cannon fodder. Are you though, or are you more than that? What or who do you fight for? Why did you join the Corps? Do you agree with the actions of Melvin Bentley? Your role is to police the streets, patrol homes and ensure civility in the Dune district. Sometimes, things get a little more complicated though.
REBELLION-As a member of the Rebellion, your life is valued. Though you're one of a few thousand, (and growing) you are seen as part of a team. There is no chain of command, there are no ranks to work up. Although there is a single leader. You will have to extort, mug, kill, bludgeon and maim to reach your goal. The rebellion is the beating heart of the Illegal Drugs Trade. The IDT is a wealthy yet risky buisness. You need money to fuel the feud against the government. Your goal is to take the Corps down.

Dune District
The Dune District is by far the most densely populated district. Though it's population is lower than that of the Pike district, it covers much less ground, and the living space is condensed as a result. Crime in these districts are huge when compared to the other three. Even with increased policing, the Dune District remains a place of savage and harsh living conditions. It is made dark and grey by the masses of smoke and pollution that is pumped into the sky on a daily basis.
Stats
Population- 9 million
Land mass- 2,180 /km2
Crime Rate- Very High
(50,000 arrests per week average)
Pike District
The Pike district is by far the most highly populated district, but this is justified by the land it covers. This makes for very nice living conditions. A lot of the land is also covered by industrial sectors. Of course the conditions don't match those of the Vector or Apex, but they far outclass that of the Dune.
Stats
Population- 14 million
Land mass- 9,180 /km2
Crime Rate- High
(15,000 arrests per week average)
Vector District
The Vector District is the only district that is majority occupied by homes. Its subtle nature makes it ideal for film studios and other similar structures in the media industry.
Stats
Population- 4 million
Land mass- 6,180 /km2
Crime Rate- Average
(7,000 arrests per week average)
Apex District
These seemingly utopian lands, are as close to perfect as lands can get. Bright skies, clean streets, near minimal crime(even with low policing). People are able to thrive in the neighbourhoods of the Apex District. The homes are very large, yet still manage to be intimate enough for residents to be well acquainted with both neighbours. Children who are nurtured in these environments, can truly be whatever they want to be.
Stats
Population- 1 million
Land mass- 8,180 /km2
Crime Rate- Very Low
(2,000 arrests per month average)

Miscellaneous
Current Location: Dune District.
Ruby Canyon- A large canyon filled with the illustrious coveted Blood Leeching Rubies. These rubies are said to sap blood, as a result they've been deemed dangerous and are considered a weapon. Though they are worth a lot on the black market, they are illegal trade. The canyon is also said to be home to the 'phantom boarder' who will kill anyone who trespasses.
Corps HQ- There are four Corps Sectors: Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. These are located around the region but aren't too far from each other.
The IDT has a lot of different performance enhancing drugs available, including effects like increased Cognitive Ability, derived from Methylphenidate and Endurance and Heart enhancers. The big money is on very rare leaked genetic enhancements and augmentations, but a lot of the times these are hoaxes or faulty. The only man who was able to develope an efficient genetic enhancements, have died. Halucinagenics are the most commonly used by wealthy addicts.
