[edit] History

Shock Force: Battles in the Remnants of America is a game setting created by Aaron Overton in the late 1990's as a vehicle for the original version of the WarEngine rules.

[edit] Setting

The world of Shock Force is a near-future America where there has been no apocalypse, but rather a general degradation of the society into numerous factions that constantly war amongst themselves for supremacy. In the fiction written about this world, there is some indication of a group of extremely wealthy Fixers that pull the strings of the individual factions whilst colluding toward some as-of-yet unknown common goal. In opposition to the Fixers are the StormReavers, led by the GothRat BroodLord WarpEyes, who wish to see the Fixers fail and include elite members of every faction that have seen the real war behind the never-ending battles and defected to their higher purpose. more...

Each faction has its own portal, which will further lead you to force lists, background material, and more.
