Shadowleague ZG Vandals Ejected from EGS

In a startling early morning raid on ZG Arc8 colo in El Segundo, CA, USA a Shadowleague cell was identified and EGS issued Exile notice to all relations of the three online participants and thirty five recorded past users.   No further arrests are expected said the El Segundo Solon Captain Richard Dega, "These kids aren't talking and this type of cell is hard to crack, but we have our best Freakers tearing down the server and they can't hide their tracks from us."

100 Years in the Future . . .

Exactly one hundred years in the future...

The planet Earth, orbital stations, and penal colony of Luna are dominated by the tyrannical Earth Gravity Sphere. All who defy the EGS' rule, even the young, are exiled to the far reaches of the solar system - the frontier known as the GRANGE. Though separated by millions of miles of space, EXILE and CITIZEN come together to clash in the wildly popular Z-G tournaments. Who will win at Dark Side Station and lead the exiles to freedom?

One hundred years in the future, the tyrannical Earth Gravity Sphere dominates the planet Earth, the penal colony of Luna, and the Orbital stations. They don’t want you anymore. Earth is too full of people for anyone to get a second chance, no matter how young, no matter how small the crime. Neither wealth, nor privilege, nor merit will save you. Your homeworld is not your home anymore. You are outcast, an Exile. And you may never, ever return to Earth.

Yet along with this bitter punishment comes the call to adventure. The whole of the Solar System is open to you now, and with danger comes possibility. The Grange is not kind to neonates; there are myriad perils to face. But with survival comes power. Out here in the darkness of space, a person can achieve greatness. No dream is too great to fill the cosmic void. Recently, in the shadow of mighty Saturn, these Exiles have given birth to a new sport, a new passion, a new form of the ancient and terrible art of war. There is no law out here other than that of the gun. “Krewes” of well-armed zGladiators battle one another for control and dominance. Too brash to know fear, with reflexes fast enough to adapt to the newest technologies, it is the young who fight. Earth still has a mighty pull, and its fascination with the spectacle provides the victors with a rich bounty of spoils – war has become a ratings game, and lucre is the reward. These young warriors have become heroes in a game of power and politics that could well alter the fate of the human race itself. The Exiles fight for their freedom, and the freedom of the whole human race! Gearing up with the latest weapons, armor, and equipment, the Exiles take their struggle to the Z-G arenas, where only the skillful and lucky rise to the top.

And all you can think about is surviving your next battle . . .
