Our Story
Brief history: The term "Lancer" emerged in 2011 as civilians slipped past the military cordon of the newly formed Exclusion Zone. While their activity initially focused on solo exploration, by 2021, the rise of bandit activity forced many to form mutual defense pacts and alliances to survive the increasingly hostile outer Zone.

Additional Information
Key relations: Lancers form temporary and often fragile alliances with each other and sometimes with sympathetic PMCs. Some respect the OPC and only use the main gate, some try their luck with smuggling. They are openly hostile to bandits and fear the mutants as well as Section Zero.
