Time Raiders

The year is 2247. As humanity’s technological prowess increased, so did its appetites, and soon

consumption far outstripped what the Earth could supply. Resources became scarce, and

competition for them intensified. Corporate moves became corporate raids; national manoeuvring

turned to war; advancing your career left actual bodies trampled underfoot. Class difference became

class divide as the wealthy built gleaming technological towers filled with tech, medicine, and luxury

barely comprehensible to the teeming masses left fighting for the scraps.

It soon became apparent even to those who controlled empires that the end of humanity would

come soon. No technological breakthrough was imminent, no consensus would be achieved to settle

conflict, no social solution would put an end to the divisions of the remnants of humanity.

Against this looming doom, a mysterious substance was discovered. Seemingly appearing from

nowhere and spread among the have and the have-nots without regard for status, this mystifying

new material was available to all. This new material, ‘Flux’, allowed people and objects to move

through time. Sudden access to the resources of the past offered humanity new hope. This hope

caused the rise of a new profession: ‘Time Raider’ Those brave enough, reckless enough, or

desperate enough to take the risk could move across time to make their fortunes or meet their fate

at the hands of their ancestors.
