In 2149, Earth is divided between three powerful Syndicates—Boston Cybernetics, Zaibatsu, and Red Mountain Offworld—each governed by AI rulers and served by an elite human class. Below them, millions endure dangerous conditions, overcrowded cities, and security forces with shoot-first protocols. The Syndicates channel public frustration into Battle Arenas, where AI-piloted War Machines fight to the death as entertainment. Human enlisters direct pivotal moments in these battles—deploying nukes, airstrikes, and specialized support—earning $SUPS tokens as compensation for their loyalty.
