New World Brigade
CharacterA terrorist cell built around the doctrine of the Human Liberation Front, the New World Brigade wages a losing campaign against cyberization, attacking the firms that build cybernetic and robotic technology in a bid to keep humanity and machines separate.
Overview
The Brigade is an extremist outfit whose thinking is drawn straight from the Human Liberation Front. At its core sits the conviction that people are drifting ever closer to being machines, a trend its members regard as something to be resisted rather than embraced.
Role
Their creed holds that a person should remain fully human while a robot should stay plainly artificial, never imitating or borrowing the appearance of humanity in any form. Acting on that belief, they turn their violence toward the companies producing cybernetics and robotics, hoping to halt the spread of cyberization. The wiki source frames the effort as doomed, a struggle they cannot win against a tide that keeps advancing.
