	Luddite is a blanket term for loosely organized groups of technophobes whose reactions vary from justifiable wariness to outright ecoterrorist zealotry. The umbrella contains such such tightly knit organizations as the Focus-on-Life reservations, who function essentially as isolated, self sufficient techno-regressive communities and enjoy protection by Aegis forces. On the other hand the dogmatic, violent Schwärze Blüten movement that makes its home in the few remaining non-industrialized zones of the German Manufacturing Parks actively seeks to destroy advanced technology, makers in particular, and frequently comes into conflict with remnants of the mercenary security firm Weimulller who make their home in the same area.

	Delvers rarely have cause to interact with Focus on Life reservations, although it is not unheard of for members of said communities to become delvers themselves, casting off the anti-technological ideology of their upbringing, but this is rare. At any rate, the players might find themselves contracting on for a short stint as as a security detail on the perimeter around an FoL reservation. The reservations smart enough to accept such help are more or less the only ones still around. The tech level inside a commune varies depending on its charter, ~~moist~~ are pre-industrial to one degree or another, but small scale experiments attempting to, for instance, replicate and prove feasible correct the Soviet Revolution are not unheard of either. Regardless of tech level, even early 20th century bolt action rifles do little against a concerted attack from reasonably modern Raiders or even small Merc packs forces. It is not unheard of for the leaders of these communities to seek help in excess of what Aegis allots for their protection, hiring out groups of delvers to either bolster their security during critical times or to seek out and put an end to one problem or another.

	Groups such as Schwärze Blüten, on the other hand, while of seemingly little consequence on a global scale, can prove a major adversary should delvers venture into their territory. Much like the FoL communes, the Eco Terrorists who are still alive are something like pragmatic in the way they accomplish their goals, if not in the determination and zealotry with which they pursue them. Deeming such indulgences as power armors, VIs and modern firearms as necessary short term evils they can do serious damage, and have learned through hard fought experience effective guerrilla, raid and ambush tactics. Schwärze Blüten itself is the largest and most aggressive of these fronts. While Aegis and Liberty at large has been content to allow Weimuller to keep them tangled up until now, the dormant factories in the German wasteland, could if, reactivated prove a major resource for the reestablishment of human habitation the world over. If the "Too Many Umlauts" conflict escalates further, delvers might find a good deal of work either along the front lines or striking into enemy territory to secure endangered equipment.

	As genetic hybridization and modification became commonplace, corporations looked to predator species to develop chimeric organisms for combat and security purposes. The first company to create a viable specimen was Brasilian-based Fereira Biodiversity, and footage of the first public demo of Basker-1 is now legendary. A grey, leathery body, weighing in at almost half a ton, but moving with a surprising agility and ferocity. Its genotype was never made public, even after the patent expired, but subsequent analysis showed there was Komodo dragon DNA in it, along with bear, wolf, cheetah and a variety of different species including zebrafish. It secreted a paralytic contact poison and had jaws that could tear a power-armored soldier in half. But the power and ferocity wasn't what set the Basker models apart from other, more mundane chimerics.

	Fereira introduced a unique feature into the organisms it developed. Every Basker could be programmed with a hard-wired safeguard imprint. The safeguard stimulus could be anything: a particular combination of sounds, colors, shapes, odors or even personal features of the owner (a popular Basker model in rural Colombia could only be directed and commanded by children ~~under the age of 12~~). The safeguard stimulus was kept secret, in order to surprise would-be intruders, and was priced according to specificity; the more particular the safeguard, the higher the cost. Impressed by the popularity of Fereira chimeras, other biotech companies followed suit. Weimuller, however, weren't content with just adopting a competitor's modus operandi; they decided to improve upon it, creating the Huntsmen: Biomercs with pheromone implants that could exercise precise control over packs of Baskers.

	Huntsmen divisions, like Weimuller's famous Werwolf ~~Kompanie~~ and Armacor's Cerberus Corps, were top-of-the line PMC's. The Huntsmen, equipped with advanced imprinting techniques and behavioral regulators, used the Baskers' full potential. They could command chimeras to track or shadow individual targets, to sniff out chemical trails and locate vehicles or bombs, to flank, surround and ambush opponents. Utilizing the powerful instinctual cunning of these constructed predators, Huntsmen could operate with more precision and efficiency than any drone operator teams.

	Following the Fall, the role of Baskers changed. The designs and formulas for Basker creation, including Fereira's revolutionary process for transcoding homeobox sequences, were leaked onto the Infosphere during the Post-Fall chaos, many suspect by disgruntled project managers. The Aegis-aligned anarchist group "Ciudade Libertade" took responsibility for releasing the Basker designs and producing the first non-corporate chimeric organism, the "Free Dog", a watchhound construct popular in many South American settlements. The public-domain status of hybridization tools meant that everyone were free to tinker with Basker designs, and the fall of the corporations meant that many military or security Baskers were now free to roam the countryside in feral packs. Some Huntsmen followed, going native in jungles or forests around the globe.		Following the Fall, the role of Baskers changed.

	Baskers began as an Illium pilot program for a new law enforcement product. Advertised as the ultimate law dog the initial product gained little ground. It was impressive to be sure, top speed of 38 miles per hour, scent glands that could be tuned for the job at hand and enough bone reinforcement to take a rifle round in the face and hardly break stride. Of course the first models were also about the same size as golf carts and cost more than some luxury cars. Aside from Illium's in house security units and the occasional exterior agency with the cash and room for a small bear in their vehicles there was little traffic, and the project was considered a flop.

	Despite all this, the fate of being one of many amongst the annals of quickly aborted prototypes and failed experiments was averted after the Fall. The designs and formulas, including a revolutionary process for transcoding homeobox sequences, were leaked onto the infosphere during the chaos, many suspect by the project managers themselves.
