SHOGO BACKGROUND

You play Sanjuro Makabe, a Mobile Combat Armor (MCA) pilot and Commander in the
UCA Security Force. Your mission is to locate and assassinate a rebel leader known only
as Gabriel.

All of the action takes place either on the planet Cronus or on the spaceship Leviathan.
The Leviathan is the flagship of the UCA and is commanded by Admiral Akkaraju. Cronus
is the only known source of the biologically active material known as Kato, an incredibly
powerful energy source essential to the process by which interstellar travel is possible.

ORGANIZATIONS
The United Corporate Authority

The UCA was originally formed by three dominant megacorporations (Andra Biome­chanics, Armacham Technology Corporation, and Shogo Industries). Originally intended
as a joint venture that would ensure the continued profitability of the three organizations
that founded it, the UCA is now independent, and the dominant military power in
existence.

Shogo Industries

A Japanese conglomerate, Shogo has interests ranging from technology to publishing to
the manufacture of children’s clothing. With the advent of MEVs and MCAs, Shogo
decided to offer their own highly advanced line of giant mechanized suits.
