The Dark Legion gushes into our Solar sysytem in huge hordes and threatens the survival of mankind. The Brotherhood has taken on the task to stop the Darkness. The Brotherhood is a huge organisation which is led by the Cardinal. They fight against the Dark Legion in huge crusades, but they also try to gather mankind in the battle and give safety in the darkness of our world. The Brotherhood have also another task, which is to exterminate all the heretics, who have given their lives to the Darkness. Earth, the home we once knew is just a memorie. The solar system lies in the hands of five megacorporations and a few smaller companies, which anyone can hire if you got enough money. The Megacoporations are everyehere in mans daily living. They are in control of different parts of the Solar sysyetmt and often fights over these areas. In the middle of the Solar system lies, whith no doubts, the city Luna, which is located on the moon. It is here where the Brotherhood has its headquarter. Mars, Venus, Merkurius and the belt of asteroids are in the hands of the Megacorporations. Mutant Chronicles takes place in a time where honor and fame is given to the few who dare fight against the Darkness and perform noble achievement.It is a world for hereos.
The world
Four corporations survived to colonize the solar system: Capitol, Bauhaus, Mishima and Imperial. Massive Capitol claimed Mars as its own and successfully named its settlements the Freedom Lands and spread its Pioneers over the planet. On the moon, Capitol erected Luna, the largest and most famed city in the system. Efficient Bauhaus built its colonies in the sweltering jungles of Venus, where its Homebuilders worked exhaustively to carve out a home for future generations. Honorable Mishima constructed its cities in the huge caverns of Mercury. Thousands of workers slaved away in dark, wretched tunnels in order to glorify the name of the Great Mishiman Overlord. Last to join in the leap into space, small but proud Imperial was left to find itself room wherever possible, surviving by sending its Conquistadors to seize territories where no man had set its foot before.
Now the Solar System is threatened by dark powers. In the days of space conquest man stumbled upon and broke ancients seals on Pluto and later on Nero, unleashing the horrors of the Dark Legion. Corruption spreads throughout humanity, and only through the guiding light of the Brotherhood is mankind able to survive the initial onslaught of Darkness. Regaining their composure after the first onslaught, mankind has begun fighting back. In every warzone, on every planet man fights Darkness. Aided by the Brotherhood's Art in their battle against the Dark Symmetry, the tide seems to be turning. But in the great megacities Darkness is gaining hold. The heretics infiltrate every level of corporate society. The battle for mankind has just begun.
The Brotherhood
It was during these dark years that a seemingly insignificant man of Bauhaus descent, Nathaniel
Durand, gave the dark forces at work a name, the Dark Symmetry. It was also he that first
unveiled and manipulated the astral powers that hold our universe together, by using the
mysterious and secretive ways of the Art, and he used these to resist the Dark Symmetry.
Realizing that mankind must ever be vigilant against the Darkness, he founded the Brotherhood,
a breakwall that stood strong against the flows of the Dark Symmetry, and he taught his most
pure-minded followers the ways of the Art, he made them Mystics, Inquisitors and Mortificators
and charged them with guarding mankind against the Darkness. Slowly, man extricated himself
from the influences of the Dark Symmetry. The system was at peace for a time, until Imperial
discovered a previously unknown tenth planet in the solar system, which they named Nero.
Brotherhood scribes have it that this fatal move was what awoke the Dark Legion and summoned
them to our worlds. The Seventh Seal of Repulsion had been broken, and the world would never be
the same.
The Dark Legion
Almost over a night, mankind found itself under attack from nearly every side. Endless hordes of
hideous creatures assaulted the human settlements on every planet. Immense Nepharites led
unholy armies of inhuman Necromutants and Undead Legionnaires against the unprepared humans. The
megacorporations stood helpless before the relentless onslaught of these nightmarish forces.
This Dark assault stretched the Brotherhood to the breaking point. One after the other,
mankind’s foes appeared in all their horrendous might. Five Apostles led the Dark Legions,
Algeroth, Apostle of War and Dark Technology; Ilian, Mistress of the Void; Muawijhe, Lord of
Insanity; Semai, Prince of Lies; and Demnogonis, the Befouler and each of these spawns of the
Dark Symmetry had its own evil plan for the destruction of mankind.
