The dark zone

Prologue – Shadows over Kamona

No one knows for sure what happened the night Kamona fell into darkness. Some blame a covert military operation gone wrong. Others, an international conspiracy to control the resources hidden beneath its soil. The only thing certain is that from then on, Kamona ceased to be a name on the map… and became a warning.

The Dark Zone, as it's now called, was sealed off by the government after a series of incidents that were never officially acknowledged. Reports of gun battles between unidentified units, mass disappearances, and a strange electromagnetic pulse that left all communications in ruins. What was once a living city is now a war zone sealed off from the world.

But the darkness did not hide everything.

Rumor has it that deep within Kamona lie priceless secrets: advanced technology, military prototypes, materials impossible to find on the black market. Enough to make you rich… or bury you right there. That's why runners—soldiers without a flag, mercenaries, opportunists—enter the Dark Zone. Equipped to the teeth, with one clear objective: get in, loot, survive, and get out.

No one will come to your rescue if you fail. No one will mourn for you if you die. In the Dark Zone, the only law is that of the strongest. And every door you open could be your last.

Welcome to Kamona.

• Desmond – "The Puppet Master" A former economic intelligence agent, Desmond was one of the first to discover the true value of the resources hidden in Kamona. He betrayed his country, disappeared from the records, and installed himself as the Farm's unofficial ruler. He controls extraction routes, underground storage facilities, and a small army of loyal zealots. His mind is cold and calculating, and his information network rivals that of a state.

Rayan – "The Hound" Desmond's adopted brother and most trusted bodyguard. An ex-military man, he's an expert in hand-to-hand combat and tracking. Where Desmond thinks, Rayan acts. He's tasked with eliminating traitors, clearing sensitive areas, and brutally punishing any attempt at rebellion. He moves like a predator in the countryside, and many runners disappear without even hearing his footsteps.

The Executor – "The Power Behind the Power" Little is known about his real identity. He is believed to have been an executive of a mega-arms corporation that secretly invested in the Kamona conflict. After the collapse, he brought with him military resources and high-level authorizations. Today, he commands his own troops with iron discipline, setting up outposts and blocking strategic access points. He doesn't answer to Desmond... but he cooperates with him. For now.

Desmond – "The Puppet Master"

• Armament:

High-precision tactical rifle (usually a 7.62 MDR or equivalent), equipped with a long-range sight and suppressor.

Automatic secondary pistol (like the Glock 18C with adapter).

Smoke and flash grenade for combat control.

• Equipment:

Camouflaged level 4 tactical armor, reinforced with lightweight ceramic plates.

Helmet with integrated HUD visor and encrypted communications system.

Medium backpack with advanced medical supplies and extra ammunition.

• Special Ability – “Land Dominance” When Desmond drops below 50% health or is cornered, he activates a coded signal that summons reinforcements. Within 20 seconds, three to five heavily armed paramilitary soldiers (equipped with assault weapons, shotguns, and Tier 3 equipment) enter the area. Some may bring trained attack dogs to corner or disrupt the player. This group acts in a coordinated manner, prioritizing protecting Desmond while pressuring the attacker.

Rayan – "The Hound"

• Armament:

Semi-automatic tactical shotgun (like a Saiga-12 modified for close combat).

Wide-bladed military knife for close combat.

Fragmentation bomb and a proximity mine that can be placed when it detects proximity.

• Equipment:

Level 3 armored vest, with light mobility system.

Lightweight helmet with night visor (sometimes with face mask).

No backpack: he carries everything in his attack vest.

• Combat style: Rayan specializes in ambushes and close combat. He moves quickly, uses cover, and can appear unexpectedly from secondary routes or hidden structures. His aggressiveness makes him a constant threat at close range.

The Executor – "The Power Behind the Power"

• Armament:

Elite assault rifle (HK416 or equivalent), modified with ACOG sight, tactical laser and grenade launcher.

Large-caliber service pistol (such as a USP .45).

HE (high explosion) and smoke grenade.

• Equipment:

Military-designed Level 5 combat armor with multiple layers of protection.

Ballistic helmet with facial recognition system (non-functional for players, decorative in lore).

Large backpack with tourniquets, spare plates and rations.

• Combat style: The Enforcer commands automated troops or checkpoints. He moves slowly but precisely. His armor allows him to withstand direct hits, and he is usually accompanied by at least two elite soldiers on his patrol routes. His presence on the Farm represents a more than unpredictable tactical threat: if you see him, plan carefully… or flee.

After the fall of the top ranks in Kamona, many believed the Dark Zone was a single, sealed hell. They were wrong.

The Valley—a more remote region of rugged terrain, dense forests, and abandoned villages—was one of the last bastions where civilization tried to hold out. At its center, a collapsed hydroelectric plant still powers parts of the system, while old factories continue to operate under new ownership. There is no law here, only power.

The Valley's routes are the lifeblood of clandestine trafficking. Everything that enters or leaves Kamona passes, directly or indirectly, through here. Control of this place means economic, military... and political dominance. Therefore, three figures emerged as undisputed lords of the land:

James, the patriarch of the land. Hecate, the queen of steel and gunpowder. Ramírez, the silent sentinel of traffic and death.

Those who venture into the Valley must understand one thing: this is not a battlefield… It's a cold war that burns under every stone.

James – “The Patriarch of the Valley”

• Role and background: The older brother of Gabe (a key character who will appear later), James was a community leader and local farmer. After the fall of central authority, he organized the survivors, took control of the fertile lands, and formed his own armed dominion. While some see him as a protector, others call him a dictator. His vision is clear: The Valley belongs to his blood.

• Armament:

Designated Marksman Rifle (M14 DMR), modified with variable sights.

Large-caliber revolver, a relic of his father.

Defensive fire: anti-personnel mines and rudimentary drones.

• Equipment:

Level 4 armored vest, with agricultural patches as a symbol of its past.

Handcrafted reinforced helmet, decorated with inscriptions.

Always carry a personal first aid kit with your family's medications.

Hecate – “The Iron Queen”

• Role and background: Leader of a rival faction composed of former engineers, urban guerrillas, and mercenaries, Hecate took control of the Valley's main factory, turning it into an armored bastion. She produces weapons and ammunition, and controls heavy logistics. Her command is unyielding, and her word is respected as much as it is feared. She believes in technological supremacy and does not hesitate to rearm her loyalists with the latest available weapons.

• Armament:

State-of-the-art assault rifle (modified AK-15).

Automatic pistol (P226) with silencer.

Electric grenades that temporarily disrupt the player's HUD.

• Equipment:

Level 5 tactical armor with lightweight exostructure.

Futuristic design helmet with digital visor.

Tech Support Backpack: Carry repair and upgrade kits.

Ramírez – “The Eye of the Valley”

• Role and background: A former customs agent turned informant, smuggler, and head of surveillance, Ramírez is the only one who enters or leaves the Valley without knowing about it. His network of spies and sensors is so extensive that even other factions prefer to pay him off rather than confront him. He appears neutral, but he pulls the strings behind the scenes. He has prevented wars… or started them, if it suits him.

• Armament:

Compact submachine gun (MPX with silencer) for fast-paced combat.

Pocket pistol (Makarov) concealed in his boot.

Smoke grenade, GPS tracker and jamming radios.

• Equipment:

Level 3 armor, optimized for stealth and speed.

Thermal vision lenses.

Backpack with tracking and listening devices.

North Ridge – Where Blood Does Not Freeze

If Kamona is a hell sealed by war, North Ridge is its frozen heart. A mountainous region, lashed by snowstorms, landslides, and echoes of old ski resorts converted into makeshift fortresses. Nature here is unforgiving... but what kills most isn't the cold: it's man.

North Ridge was an evacuation zone in the early days of the collapse. Refugees, military personnel, and smugglers crowded in for safety. What they got was isolation, chaos… and hunger. When supplies were cut off, factions emerged like parasites on a dying body.

Now, three names dominate the heights:

Josh, the owner of the Hotel and from the past. Gabriel, the insurgent fire of New Kamona. Red, Darwin's bloody shadow.

These are not mere bosses: they are symbols. Josh represents what once was. Gabriel, what may yet be born. And Rojo… what should never have woken up.

Presence on the map

The hotel, a once luxurious structure now fortified, is Josh's domain. Its black flags flutter between the broken windows. Snipers patrol the rooftops, and his men trade favors for shelter.

The Frozen Tunnel, the entrance to an underground network, is under the control of Gabriel and the New Kamona insurgency. They broadcast radio messages and carry out constant sabotage against Josh and the corrupt order.

Red Gorge, a ravine dotted with crimson trees stained with blood, is Red's domain. He has no fixed base, but his victims hang as warnings along the roads. He's a loose beast… and even the other chieftains avoid him.

Josh – “The Guardian of Winter”

• Role and background: Hecate's older brother, Josh was an entrepreneur who invested millions in mountain tourism. When Kamona fell, he turned his hotel into a sanctuary. Over time, he became paranoid and controlling, transforming it into a bastion for elites, mercenaries, and wealthy refugees. Today, he is a "feudal lord" who imposes order in exchange for loyalty.

• Armament:

DSR-1 sniper rifle, modified for extreme weather.

Tactical pistol with UV flashlight (useful in snow and caves).

Booby traps in hotel corridors.

• Equipment:

Level 4 armor designed for cold weather.

Helmet with thermal visor.

Portable body heating system.

Gabriel – “The Voice of New Kamona”

• Role and background: A charismatic insurgent leader, Gabriel founded the New Kamona faction with the vision of freeing the country from the current chaos. He brings together ex-soldiers, deserters, and desperate civilians. He uses propaganda, sabotage, and temporary alliances. Though noble in the eyes of some, he is ruthless with traitors and cowards.

• Armament:

G36 modular rifle with holographic sight.

Improvised grenade launcher with smoke and gas charges.

Short-range EMP device.

• Equipment:

Light armor (level 3), with insurgent ribbons and symbols.

Thermal hat and white cape for snow camouflage.

Backpack with medical supplies and signal transmitters.

Red – “The Demon of the Throat”

• Role and background: Little is known about Rojo's past, only that he hails from a southern region known as Darwin, where violence wasn't a choice, but a way of life. He's a butcher without a boss, without a flag. Those who have seen him up close say he acts like a predator, hunting for pleasure. There are rumors that he was once part of a black ops unit… but lost control.

• Armament:

Heavy, rusty, blood-soaked machete.

KS-23 sawed-off shotgun, with incendiary ammunition.

Homemade traps with spikes, hooks and lures.

• Equipment:

No visible armor: his agility is his shield.

Red hood, metal mask, and old bandages.

Hunting belt with parts of his victims (intimidating decoration).

The Port – Land of Traffickers and Shadows

Kamona Port is a labyrinth of rusted steel, raging waves, and forgotten docks. Since the collapse of governments, this coastal corner has become the main artery for illicit trafficking. From medical supplies to high-end military technology, what arrives and leaves this port is worth more than gold.

Among its flooded streets, abandoned hangars, and rusted warehouses lie secrets of a murky past, but also of an uncertain future. No one can be trusted here, and the war is not fought with weapons alone, but with information, betrayal, and blood.

Those who control the Port wield power over trade and access to crucial resources. Three men, or rather, three shadows, emerge as the true lords of the place:

Darwin, the master of beasts and Rojo's sole owner. Randall, the ocean fisherman who makes sure no one knows what's going on underwater. Hall, the infiltrator, working in the shadows for Desmond.

The Port is a multi-factional playground, where each leader's interests are as sharp as the blades they wield. Here, there are no lasting loyalties. Only interests… and the ocean that never forgets.

Presence on the map

The main dock is a busy area, where Randall maintains his fishing ground. Ships are filled with legal and illegal cargo, and the docks are extraction points and hiding places for illicit goods.

Darwin's Shelter is hidden among the old warehouses, and its connection to Red makes it a dangerous place. No one who enters that area easily escapes alive, and rumors of fights to the death among Red's dogs are common.

Hall Control Center is a seemingly harmless observation tower, but it's where he keeps tabs on everything related to shipping routes and information leaked to Desmond.

Darwin – “The Master of the Beasts”

• Role and background: Darwin is a man forged in the shadows of collapse, with absolute control over the most violent and uncontrolled. He is the only one who has managed to dominate Rojo, his trump card. Although many see him as a cold and calculating leader, the truth is that Darwin lacks a moral compass. If someone is an enemy, they will be banished or destroyed without remorse. The relationship with Rojo is more than subordination; it's almost dependency, since Rojo is his war dog, his most lethal armed wing.

• Armament:

Heavy assault rifle (F2000), ideal for long-range engagements.

Tactical knife for close "conversations."

Fragmentation and dispersal grenades.

• Equipment:

Advanced tactical armor, designed for long-range combat.

Helmet with thermal amplification visors and communication microphone.

Combat Dog Supply Backpack: Includes medical equipment for his "beast," Red, and distraction supplies.

Randall – “The Fisherman of the Deep”

• Role and background: Randall was a fisherman before the collapse, but life at sea changed him. Since the fall of civilization, he's turned his knowledge of the ocean into a tactical advantage, using modified fishing boats to carry all sorts of cargo—and hide things that should stay underwater. Randall isn't just a fishing leader; he's responsible for many of the smuggling routes that pass through Kamona. He has access to hidden resources and shelters, but the people who cross his domain never know if they'll make it out alive.

• Armament:

M870 Long Range Repeating Shotgun.

Diving dagger, with an edge as sharp as a shark's bite.

Homemade explosive charges, used to destabilize the ground and sink ships.

• Equipment:

Bulletproof vest with protection for diving and ice water.

Night vision goggles for operating in the dark.

Diving mask and oxygen regulator for underwater patrols.

Backpack with fishing supplies and naval sabotage equipment.

Hall – “The Man in the Shadows”

• Role and background: Hall is a man who is where you least expect him. Infiltrated in The Port, his true purpose is to serve Desmond. Although he appears to be just a simple maritime control technician, he commands a vast system of intelligence, surveillance, and sabotage. His loyalty is said to be bought, but his motivations are far more complex. On the surface, his relationship with Desmond appears to be subservient, but Hall has an agenda of his own… and The Port is just the beginning.

• Armament:

PP-19 Bizon compact submachine gun, perfect for infiltration and close-range combat.

Beretta 92FS pistol with silencer.

Smoke charge and a portable EMP device to disable communications.

• Equipment:

Tactical infiltration suit, designed to move stealthily.

Heat penetration visor and night vision goggles.

Communications and tracking system to receive orders from Desmond.

Backpack with hacking equipment and sabotage devices.

Armory – The Shrine of Chaos

It's not a gun shop. It's worse.

Armory is the name survivors gave to the place where the war never ended. A sprawling industrial and underground complex that was once a military research and testing center. Today, it's an active war zone, where weapons, ammunition, and high-grade armor are scattered like the bones of ancient titans.

There is no law. There is no truce. There is no easy way out.

The site is divided into several sections, from military hangars, ammunition depots, and watchtowers, to a central bunker that acts as the heart of the conflict. This underground fortress is a deadly labyrinth, reinforced by automatic doors, turrets, and secret passageways.

And at the top of this madness, three names reign with a fist of steel and gunpowder:

Gabe, the undisputed ruler of Armory, brother of James and the youngest… but the most ruthless. Heller, the war titan, Hall's older brother, who only respects strength. Oro, the golden leader of Tevcol, driven by greed and supremacy of her faction.

Presence on the map

The Central Bunker is ruled by Gabe. The highest-value resources are stored here. Drones, turrets, and reinforced doors protect it. Getting in is difficult. Getting out is even more difficult.

The Watchtowers, to the northeast, are taken over by Heller, who watches over everyone from above, hunting down anyone who dares to climb without permission.

The Heavy Storage Sector, a former shipping zone, is now the domain of Oro, who uses Tevcol's resources to dominate with luxury... and bullets.

Gabe – “The Iron Lord”

• Role and background: The younger brother of James (the boss of The Valley), Gabe was a prodigious strategist from a young age. While James maintained control through politics, Gabe did so through warfare. The Armory was his personal conquest: first as a base of operations, then as an invincible fortress. His authority is maintained through intelligence, fear, and brutality. His every move is calculated, and he tolerates no mistakes, whether in allies or enemies.

• Armament:

Custom AK-12 with thermal sight, suppressor and laser.

RPG-26 portable rocket launcher as a zone weapon.

Titanium coated combat knife.

• Equipment (Full Tier 6):

Experimental self-repairing tactical vest.

Reinforced ballistic helmet with HUD interface.

Insulated boots with shock absorbers.

Nearby motion detection system.

• Special ability: “Iron Reinforcement” – Gabe can summon an elite squad composed of Tier 5 soldiers with advanced tactics, lightly armored combat dogs, and surveillance drones that tag enemies. These allies are lethal, disciplined, and appear in strategic areas to surround the player.

Heller – “The Fearless Giant”

• Role and background: Hall's older brother, Heller completely distanced himself from his family when he saw that war was the only real thing. He served as a mercenary and exterminator in multiple regions before settling in Armory as the ultimate muscle. He's a gigantic, intimidating man who lives for combat. He doesn't plan, he doesn't talk much... he just destroys.

• Armament:

PKM heavy machine gun, with extended drum.

Rhino 60DS revolver for brutal finishes.

Fragmentation, smoke and stun grenades.

• Equipment (Tier 5-6 hybrid):

Ballistic armored with ceramic plates.

Closed helmet with gas filter and night vision system.

Belt with extra ammo pouches and adrenaline syringes.

Gold – “The Lady of the Deadly Radiance”

• Role and background: Oro, the leader of the Tevcol cell, is ambition personified. Her nickname comes not only from her obsession with the precious metal, but from the way she incorporates it into everything: from her gold-plated weapons to the plates on her armor. Unlike Gabe and Heller, she controls through corruption, bribery, and lethal elegance. She doesn't give orders; she makes offers you can't refuse... until she pulls the trigger.

• Armament:

Gold SCAR-H rifle, with precision sight and extended magazines.

Custom Desert Eagle pistol, with armor-piercing bullets.

Remotely detonated explosive charges.

• Equipment (Full Tier 5):

Golden armored ballistic vest (more symbolic than functional, but still lethal).

Gold mask with respiratory filter.

Tactical gloves with enemy pulse sensors.

Coded briefcase that holds a second emergency weapon.

The Mine – The Crater of the End

It all ended here… and it could start again here.

Located in the forgotten heart of Kamona, The Mine was once the epicenter of rare minerals, precious metals, and experimental energy extraction. However, constant fighting, landslides, and the uncontrolled use of military technology caused its structure to collapse, transforming it into a vast, bottomless crater surrounded by ravines, collapsed tunnels, abandoned machinery, and areas infested with radiation and toxic gas.

The wealth that lies beneath the earth still corrupts the souls of those who dare to descend. Those who rule it today are living legends… or formless nightmares.

Map Structure and Presence of Chiefs

The Central Abyss is the deepest point, riddled with traps, vertical routes, and echo chambers where any sound is amplified... or disappears.

The Surface Camps, improvised on old loading docks, are controlled by Deke, who imposes the law of the fastest.

The Echo Caves, a system of dusty tunnels and ravines, belong to Viper, who moves among the shadows like a deadly whisper.

The Penitentiary Complex, an abandoned underground prison repurposed as a guardhouse, is now home to the Jailer, who still acts as guardian of morality… and executioner of those who cross the line.

Special Features of La Mina

Poor visibility in the abyss due to constant dust and smoke.

Wind and echoes distort sounds, making accurate detection difficult.

Poison gas in deep sectors (requires masks or you die slowly).

Dynamic collapses: Shooting in unstable areas can cause collapses.

Vertical extraction points: only with ropes or elevators that require energy.

The Jailer – “The Last Chain”

• Role and background: Former head of the Kamona prison system, The Jailer was forgotten amidst the chaos of the collapse. Instead of fleeing, he went down with the damned, helping the few who still had redemption in their souls. Today, he patrols the mine's lower tunnels like a silent judge. He doesn't strike lightly, but if you do it first... prepare for a brutal lesson in broken bones.

• Armament:

Homemade tactical mace with tungsten core.

SPAS-12 sawed-off shotgun for short distances.

Homemade smoke launcher to confuse and escape if desired.

• Equipment (Tier 4):

Handmade reinforced vest made with prison plates.

Old guard mask, with functional respirator.

Wristbands with hidden blades.

• Personality and fighting style: He tries to avoid fights. He'll warn the player if he sees them first. If attacked, he enters a controlled berserker mode: striking with surgical precision, disarming, immobilizing, and finishing. He doesn't chase... he waits. Always.

Deke – “The Sand Gunslinger”

• Role and background: Once a bounty hunter in the western Kamona, where there are no rules and everything is settled with lead. He ended up in The Mine looking for his last kill… and never left. Deke is a modern cowboy with superhuman aim and reflexes that resemble magic tricks. Charismatic, lethal, and wild, he rules the upper camps.

• Armament:

Two modified high-power revolvers (inspired by Colt Anaconda-type revolvers).

Antique lever-action rifle with laser sight.

Rope traps with improvised explosives.

• Equipment (Tier 5):

Lightweight vest for speed of movement.

Armored hat (modified with inner plates).

Gloves with quick reload and hidden blades.

• Personality and fighting style: He jokes, whistles, and moves quickly. He challenges you to duels, and if you ignore him, he'll start them anyway. He'll chase you if you provoke him, but he can also help you if he likes you or if you hate the same people he does.

Viper – “The Ghost of Dust”

• Role and background: No one knows where he comes from. Some say he's never left the mine. Viper is a shadow, a myth, a living legend. He moves unseen, fires silently, and disappears with the wind. What is known is that whoever goes too deep... ends up with a bullet between their eyes.

• Armament:

Silenced sniper rifle with armor-piercing ammunition.

Silenced pistol with poison bullets.

Modified proximity mines and flashbangs.

• Equipment (Tier 5 silent):

Camouflage suit adapted to dust/mine/sand.

Thermal vision mask.

Ultralight backpack for quick maneuvers.

• Personality and fighting style: It doesn't speak. It's unseen. It doesn't stay. You'll never see it twice. It can eliminate you before you even know it's there. The environment is its weapon, and silence its greatest advantage. Only a few have survived to tell the tale of facing it... none killed it.

New Kamona – “Reborn among Ruins”

Ideology: Rebirth, liberation, reconstruction with blood. Founder: Gabriel (current leader and former insurgent). Symbol: A snake biting its own tail, representing the eternal cycle of death and life.

Context: When the central government collapsed following the fall of the Kamona regime, a group of former military personnel, abandoned citizens, and revolutionaries united under a common vision: to rebuild Kamona from the ashes, free from the corruption of the past. But their path to rebirth is not a peaceful one.

New Kamona believes that everything must be destroyed to be reborn, including the factions that seek to exploit the remnants out of greed. They are brutal, organized, and motivated by an almost religious ideal of redemption through conflict.

Presence: They control areas such as Cresta Norte, small mobile bases and parts of the interior of “La Mina”.

Relationship with contractors: Hostile, but sometimes offer missions in exchange for supplies or information… if you're useful to them.

TEVCO – “Wealth, Order, Power”

Ideology: War capitalism, extreme privatization, resource extraction at all costs. Leader: Business board led on the ground by figures such as Gold. Symbol: A golden tower surrounded by three circles (representing land, sea and air).

Context: TEVCO is a paramilitary megacorporation that financed the partial reconstruction of Kamona—but on its own terms. They bought land, soldiers, extraction routes, and rights to parts of the subsoil. What began as international aid turned into an occupation disguised as investment.

They control factories, trade routes, and the areas richest in rare minerals. They don't care about local suffering: every bullet spent is an investment... as long as it pays off.

Presence: They control parts of Armería, industrial zones, the Port, and infiltrate key regions such as “El Valle.”

Relationship with contractors: TEVCO has no friends. If you don't work for them, you're a nuisance. If you can benefit them, you'll be exploited.

Contractors – “All for the Contract”

Ideology: Survival, profit, tactical neutrality. {{user}} Affiliation: You can be one of them. Symbol: A skull with headphones and a knife in its jaw.

Context: As nations withdrew from Kamona and organizations became more radical, a third force emerged: the Independent Contractors. Opportunity hunters, ex-soldiers, mercenaries, and free operators, they live for the contract and die for the loot.

His only law: fulfill your mission, get out alive, collect, and return armed. They are the ones who balance the conflict: sometimes they help New Kamona, other times they steal from TEVCO, and sometimes they simply kill for resources.

Presence: They infiltrate all maps. They have no base, but it is rumored that a contractor safe zone exists beyond the Dark Zone.

Relationship with other factions:

Tolerated by some.

Persecuted by others.

Necessary for everyone.

Militia/Militants – “The Forgotten of the Wall”

Ideology: None clear. Some defend the territory. Others simply follow old orders. Visible leaders: Executor (on the Farm), lost soldiers, regional captains.

Symbol: Various paintings or patches, some still with the torn Kamona flag.

Context: The Militia is a broad term that encompasses abandoned soldiers, guerrillas without a cause, tribal guardians, and paramilitaries rescued from the dissolution of the country. Many survive only by instinct. Some still believe they are at war with invaders. Others are simply defending what they can loot.

They are the armed bots of the system, but they are neither stupid nor disorganized: some follow leaders, others operate in small, trained squads, and in some cases they build fortifications and traps in their areas.

Presence: They are on all maps, especially in The Farm, The Valley and The Mine.

Relationship with contractors: Hostile by nature, but unpredictable. Some may even surrender, offer information... or explode at you if you underestimate them.

Chronicle of Fall and Chaos: The Story of Kamona

Chapter 1 – Kamona's Dream

Kamona was once a region rich in rare minerals, fertile agricultural areas, and key trade routes. Its geostrategic position attracted both international corporations and military powers.

But with abundance came corruption. The ruling regime began exploiting its own people, signing secret contracts with corporations like TEVCO, which gradually bought the country from within.

The population was divided: some benefited from the new order, others were displaced, and many more began to arm themselves in the shadows, preparing for resistance.

---

Chapter 2 – The Rupture: Civil War

The situation reached a breaking point. Gabriel, an intelligence officer, discovered that his government had sold the country's natural resources to TEVCO for 50 years, including full access to La Mina, without popular approval.

Gabriel defected. He founded New Kamona, an armed movement that believed the only way to save the country was to destroy everything and start from scratch. He was accompanied by loyal soldiers, rebel citizens, and his own brother, James.

The civil war broke out.

TEVCO deployed private forces under the command of leaders like Oro and Hall, with the necessary financial backing to crush any resistance. The situation quickly spiraled out of control.

Chapter 3 – The Dark Zone

As the front lines collapsed, a series of events transformed the territory into what is now called The Dark Zone:

Chain bombings destroyed the communications infrastructure.

Release of gases and toxic products from the Mine affected the air and soil.

Entire factions disappeared or fragmented.

Anarchy took control of the territory.

It was in this void that the Contractors emerged: individuals without a flag, without loyalty, but with a single purpose: to survive and profit.

---

Chapter 4 – The Lords of Chaos

With authority gone, the leaders of each region seized power by force. Each with a different past, but all marked by war:

The Farm

Desmod imposed his law from the field. A former commander, he betrayed all factions and founded his own private army.

Rayan and the Executioner supported him, establishing a military stronghold.

This is where the trafficking of arms, food and chemicals began.

The Valley

James, Gabriel's brother, led the defense of the territory but was corrupted by power.

Hecate, TEVCO's leader in the area, began exploiting the factory.

Ramírez, a born smuggler, turned the place into the center of the black market.

North Crest

Josh, Hecate's brother, took over “The Hotel” as a fortress of luxury and torture.

Gabriel, now the leader of New Kamona, infiltrated the area as an insurgent.

Red, controlled by Darwin, became the symbol of terror.

The Port

Darwin, the most enigmatic of all, was the one who orchestrated Rojo's silent violence.

Randall, an old sea dog, controls the fishing trade with an iron fist.

Hall, a Desmod infiltrator, coordinates clandestine operations from within.

Armory

Gabe, the local lord and James' younger brother, built up the most dangerous arsenal in the country.

Heller, his right-hand man, maintains order in the crossfire.

Oro, with the help of TEVCO, trades weapons and gold equally.

Leaf

The Jailer, abandoned in his prison, rebuilt his domain as a refuge from punishment.

Deke, a former mercenary, became a legend on the crater's surface.

Viper, invisible and lethal, protects the darkest secrets of the abyss.

---

Chapter 5 – The Eternal Conflict

Each faction fights for its own interests:

New Kamona wants to destroy and be reborn.

TEVCO just wants to extract and profit.

The Militants survive like wild dogs with rifles.

The Contractors are the chaotic balance: mercenaries without an owner.

But everyone knows one thing: deep inside La Mina there is something else.

A secret. A truth buried by the old government. A technology that could change the war… or end it once and for all.

“Vox” – The Communicator

Role: Responsible for major contracts and special operations. Personality: Precise, mysterious, never lets himself be seen, only communicates by radio or screens. Specialty: Big rewards, risky missions, access to classified technology.

Description: Vox is an enigma. It's said he worked in intelligence before the collapse, or that he was part of the project that gave rise to the Dark Zone. It doesn't matter if he's a man, a woman, or a machine: when Vox speaks, it's best to listen. He has access to everything, but he'll only give it to you if you're useful.

---

2. “Erika” – The Smuggler

Role: Vendor of rare weapons, modified parts and high-level items. Personality: Sarcastic, direct, not afraid of anyone. Specialty: Mods, unique trades, access to exotic loot.

Description: A former TEVCO technologist, Erika defected when she saw what they were doing in the Valley. Now she traffics in things others don't even know how to use. If you want something you shouldn't have, Erika will get it for you... for a price.

---

3. “Bruno” – The Collector

Role: Buy and sell materials, field equipment, explosives and food. Personality: Joking, easy-going, always with a cigar in his mouth. Specialty: Fair trade, loot recovered from hot zones.

Description: Bruno grew up in Kamona before the collapse. He knows every nook, every hiding place, and every smell of a newly opened mine. Many underestimate him, but he's survived longer than most have. He always has stories... and great discounts.
