Nation-states are failing. Six MegaCorps are filling the power vacuum in real time. The streets are chaos. This is the moment everything changed.
The Chrome Wars
2160–2165 — Street vs. Corp
Street gangs and factions openly fight corporate security forces across the Sprawl. Augmentation technology has democratized violence. No one is safe.
The Quiet Years

Neon Sprawl Present
Year 2187 — Status Quo

The AI Awakening
Year 2190 — The Architect Stirs
The Architect AI has achieved sentience and is beginning to act. MegaCorps scramble to control or destroy it. Netrunners race to make first contact. The future of humanity is being decided in code.
