 This document is a reference of important things in the setting.
-This setting is heavily influenced by Beneath a Steel Sky, blatantly rips core elements of Blade Runner, and outright steals most of its timeline from Larry Niven’s Known Space series.

 I have bastardized a lot of the content so it isn’t the same as in the source materials.

 {{ :arm.png?nolink|}}
 ARM began as a confederation of civil-defense organizations from every nation of Earth. The A.R.M. then evolved into an enforcer of United Nations regulations, especially technology control. Their current position has resulted in them becoming the overseeing police branch of Earth, equivalent to 20th-Century USA FBI agents.

-The Belt is an independent conglomeration of bases, stations, and mining platforms. They are based on Luna (The Earth’s Moon) and operate in the Main Asteroid Belt. They peacefully seceded from the UN at the start of the 22nd century, under the stipulation that Mars would remain under UN control. The government runs as a ‘meritocracy’, where leaders are chosen by a rigorous set of ‘aptitude tests’, and then must work their way through promotions.

-##### Citizens Protection Bureau #####
+===== Citizens Protection Bureau =====
 A prosecuting committee formed explicitly to run class-action lawsuits against mega-corporations on the behalf of humanity. Though they do not do any investigating themselves, they will regularly use evidence collected by A.R.M. in their cases, and the results of their prosecutions can result in laws being passed. For example, the CPB sued Tyrell Corporation shortly after The Tanhauser Incident, collecting several billion dollars in damages, and enacting a new law prohibiting the manufacture or selling of androids on Earth.

 A set of laws stating when it was legal to terminate those who had been cryogenically frozen. The first bill affected "Corpsicles" (hopefuls who had themselves frozen in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries) lacking funds or investments to support themselves. The laws dictated they would be thawed and dumped straight into the organ banks for parts.

+===== Gang, Anubis =====
 {{ :anubis.png?nolink|}}
 A gang with a theme based around Ancient Egypt, primarily focussed on organlegging. Though they are not distributors, they have been indicated in many instances of organ theft, and often leave obvious calling cards.
