	In the face~~[[image:militiaman.jpg\|frame]]~~ of Network's advance, humanity has begun to unite beneath the banner of Greysky. Originally a PMC that specialized in anti-machine warfare, Greysky suddenly reappeared long after the Loss, with stockpiled weapons, hardened veterans in power armor, and a handful of still-functional aircraft. Braves from dozens of settlements and tribes began to flock to its banner as it struck back at the encroaching Network. Truthfully, the huge mass of recruits mostly served as cannon fodder to protect the small number of trained commandos, but this original core has eventually been replaced with a new generation of fighters. For nearly 40 years, the Resistance has worked to slow the advance of Network and protect humanity from extermination.

	Within the Resistance, an ethos of warrior's honor has arisen. Greysky does its best to maintain a formal chain of command, but many branches have devolved into warbands led by a charismatic chieftain. In addition to this, there is a philosophy of human supremacy. Reistance fighters really, ''really'' don't like robots. While all but the most ignorant can usually tell Free Machines apart from Networked killbots, most of them don't see much of a practical difference. Machines are soulless abominations responsible for the fall of civilization.		Within the Resistance, an ethos of warrior's honor has arisen.

	Salvagers originated from the better class of techie, the ones with practical skills in addition to downloading porn and pirating software. When the dust settled after the loss, millions of internet junkies were left jonesing for a fix. Engineers, programmers, mechanics, anyone with actual expertise in the production of technology, not just its consumption, sought to utilize their skills to scavenge what they could from the ruins of civilization. As the rest of humanity gradually re-learned the basics of survival, the Salvagers were rigging up solar panels to recharge their iPods.

	In this time of crisis, heroes also emerge. There is no formal chain of command amonst the scattered bands, who mostly communicate via longwave radio or couriers. A handful of leaders have risen to the call, beginning to coordinate macro-level tactics, tracking the spread of network and attacking key locations.		In this time of crisis, heroes also emerge.

	But most damning of all are their Machines. The Salvagers never abandoned their robots; they kept them around and taught them new skills. When the first Free Machines arose, the Salvagers welcomed them into their enclaves.

	The factions and character types presented here merely represent the organized, proactive groups in the world. Regressed tribal humans, the psychotic raiders endemic to any post apocalyptic wasteland, and other classic after-the-end elements obviously also exist. Not all unaffiliated machines are nice people, and you see plenty of spike-covered robots among the bandits, or living as lone hermits. In some places, what were once scavenger enclaves have grown into true cities. Crappy cities. Wretched hives of scum and villainy, where Network is regarded as a distant rumor of little concern. That is, until there are killbots at the gates.		The factions and character types presented here merely represent the organized, proactive groups in the world.

	The Lost Future is a ~~general purpose After The End~~ setting inspired by works such as Terminator, 9, and Wall-E, developed with the input and ideas of the denizens of /tg/. It originated as a video game concept, but also works well as an RPG setting~~, best suited for the Cortex RPG ruleset, though Engine Heart and a modded Dark Heresy are both suitable as well~~.		The Lost Future is a post-apoc sci-fi setting inspired by works such as Terminator, 9, and Wall-E, developed with the input and ideas of the denizens of /tg/. It originated as a video game concept, but also works well as an RPG setting.

	In short, it's the typical post-apocalyptic robot war scenario; approximately 100 years after the end, humanity is reduced to pre-industrial state, and there's an evil AI named Network with an army of killbots out to exterminate them, after failing to do so during the initial human/machine war. There's a human Resistance that opposes Network's advance, but its a losing battle.
