Changes

As the members of an expedition face these dangers together, they either develop a desperate camaraderie, or they fall prey to the world’s myriad dangers. In many cases, individuals soon discover that they prefer this lifestyle to that of the world’s two cities, and many become Chem-Hunters who live out singular lives amidst the wastes or even beyond the planet itself. Several of the drilling groups exist as formal bond-clans that have worked collectively for generations, their massive drill-machines becoming heirlooms that are representative of their lineage. It is these clans that roam the wastelands outside the cities, with powerful drill-barons commanding each in various levels of ruthlessness and savagery. Battles between rival clans can exist for years, drillrigs changing hands in each conflict as the clans struggle for dominance over each other and the planet itself.{{Fn|1}}
