Class: organization

Name: The Enclave

Brief: The Enclave are a secretive group of technophiles living in a hidden settlement underneath Crystal City.

Seven words: technophilia, advanced, secretive, modified, amiable, practical, eccentric

Detailed: The Enclave has a very rich and detailed history, tracing itself back to as far as the first biotech implants. The group loosely organized themselves around the time of the first implants, and its original membership were entirely biotech enhanced. The initial controversy over biotech and general societal distrust of biotech supporters led the future Enclave to isolate themselves and move underground.

Initially they took up residence in burnt-out skyscrapers around the Lakeshore, but they were soon discovered and hunted down. They fled first to sublayer two, building residences in the darker corridors and erecting laboratories. However, the unorganized and obtrusive nature of this layer didn’t suit the group, and they again relocated. This time they fled south along the surface, building a small settlement in the Wilds southeast of Crystal City before moving all of their operations gradually underground. The amount of time it took them to drill through to sublayer four is unknown to most, and no written record was kept. Estimates place the time between five and ten years, and small semi-settlements were built along the way, though these have long since been converted to guard posts.

Members of the Enclave tend to be of mixed heritage and biotech level, and are outwardly friendly. Members are incredibly close-knit, and an insult to one is often met with a swift and very permanent punishment.

This group is responsible for roughly ninety percent of all biotech developments in the region, and theirs are some of the most useful anywhere, in addition to being the least obtrusive during and after installation.
