Its Been Over 50 Years Since The Strange Explosion Took Place, In What Is Now Known As "The Old Town Ruins". Ever Since That Day, Empire City Has Been In A Quarantine, No One, Except For Government Officials, Are Allowed In Or Out. The Quarantine Has Driven Most Of Us To Lives Of Crime And The Government Uses This Place As A Dumping Ground For Criminals, The Politicians See It As A Cash Crop Taxing The Hell Out Of Us. Those Of Us Who Survived Have Been Stricken By A Plauge, Most People Infected With It Become Deathly Ill, But Some, Some Have Been Granted Amazing Powers, These People Have Been Classified As ECAC Or Empire City Armed Civilians, Atleast, Thats What The Government Calls Us. The ECAC Have Dedicated Their Lives To Cleaning Up This Town, Killing Druglords, Mercenaries, Criminals, And Even Those Bastard Politicians. The Children Of ECAC's Are Also Gifted With Abilities, This Assures That The Cause Will Never Die, Well, Unless The AECAC Get There Way. The AECACC Or Anti-Empire City Armed Civilian Coalition, Are A Group Of Ex- ECAC Memebers That Are Recruited By Politicians To Protect Them From The ECAC, And Also To Hunt And Kill ALL ECAC Members, Making This City A Civil War Battle Zone.
