University

During the early years of the Brotherhood of Cain there was a schism, a sect within them coming to view machines as the only way humanity might purge itself of corruption. They delved deeper into fields of cybernetics, nanomachines, and robotics; eventually coming to implement so much machinery within their bodies that they seemingly ceased to be human. Still they hungered for more and above all else wished to share their knowledge with the world.

Becoming known as the University they are techno-plague on the world, raiding corporations for components and research. However their more vicious tactics include infecting unwitting populations with cyber-viruses to “purge” them of the “organic filth” within them. Those infected turn into cyber-zombies, completely under the control of the University and driven to spread their newfound affliction with others.

Everyone: Dragoons, White Horse, Freelancers, and corporations all view The University as one of the most serious threats in existence and actively hunt lairs and labs belonging to the radical group.
