History of Wonderland’s Astral Regiment

• It was the year 2949, a small group of traders had met up with a bounty hunter trying to make a name for himself while trading cargo for Hurston Dynamics. He had been scouring one of Hurston’s moons looking for a small-time crook who was known for sabotaging supply runs from Lorville to Area 18 on ArcCorp. After a few rounds of distilled spirits from a location not marked on the star map, the bounty hunter was able to convince the traders to act as bait.

• A few days later, while exiting the atmosphere, the crook appeared and hailed the traders and requested they land or be destroyed. Not wanting to lose thousands in merch or their own lives, they agreed to meet at one of the many mining outposts on Arial in order to discuss their “surrender”. Upon landing, they were greeted by a woman who had introduced herself as Alice. The surrender turned into an offer, help bring down the mega-corporations and return justice and stability to the people of Stanton. The traders agreed and they parted ways.

• Upon exiting the atmosphere, they hailed the bounty hunter and filled him in on what had happened down on the surface. Alice, the small-time crook was not just trying to inconvenience the tyrannical leadership of these planets, but in reality, attempting to get these traders and their convoys to assist in liberating an entire solar system! The bounty hunter was sold. He too would join and give aid to this little group of mischievous rebels, for he too understood the suffering brought to his solar system.

• 2950, Alice had begun worrying that they were not doing enough to tip the scale in their favor. For every trader convoy intercepted, four would still reach their destination. For every bounty hunter brought down, ten would take their place. It was time for the organization to step up and attempt a Coup on Hurston. After weeks of planning and preparing, Alice was nowhere to be found and her two Lieutenants, Toothbaste and Mazhatter (handles instead of their real names to protect them) were dispatched to locate her. After locating her Anvil Arrow, they searched the immediate area and found her bound and beaten with a message still blinking in her Mobiglass, “Give up and surrender or die for your treasonous actions, we have had a mole planted in your group who has been feeding us information related to your future assault on Lorville.”

• Moments later, they received a transmission from the staging area informing them that Hurston Security had caught them by surprise. Anyone who wasn’t killed in the initial contact has fled and gone into hiding and that they should do the same. As their ship departed and they spooled up their QT system for Grim, they made themselves a promise, to bring Alice’s dream, her Wonderland, to fruition.
