CLUSTERPUNK
WELCOME TO THE COMBINE
The year was B.T.M-3012. Planet Zero had been completely drained of its resources through the selfish acts of the Rich. Humanity fled to the stars, and would take over the rest of the planets in the galaxy. The new order of the galaxy is called The Combine, each member controlling different Monoliths, megacorporations that grew so large that they now own their own planets. In the vastness of space, the people are crushed under the weight of their own insignificance.
The current year is 285
THE WORLD'S SCENARIO
Clusterpunk takes place in The Combine, a galaxy filled up with many, different unique planets with their own unique biohazards and challenges. Each planet is owned by a Monolith, a massive megacorporation that has complete control over everything that happens within it.
The wealth gap is immense, and those living within The Combine are often forced to take dangerous jobs with Enterprises (Giant Companies that aren't monoliths), which never have their best interests in minds, often brutalizing the poor or utilizing bizarre technology to make their profit.
Those who despise the corporate lifestyle often join Agencies, Mercenaries groups that are paid money by people or corporations to do various dirty deeds they don't want to trouble themselves with.
WHERE DO I START?
To get started, choose a page that strikes your interest on the side or read the summary above.
Suggestions would be the Planets Page (Atlantica is a good starter, and gets a lot of usage) or the 'List of Enterprises' Page (For a good list of some of the lower-level wacky companies that inhabit the world)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME?
Clusterpunk is my brainchild, a worldbuilding project I began first working on 04/27/2023. Since then it has gone through extreme changes, complete rewrites, and additions. The project has since grown into a much larger and more complex world, one that I am excited to work on for years to come. Besides myself, my wonderful girlfriend Kaycee has been an extremely helpful contributor, and I couldn’t have done any of this without her.Â
