[Game Note] Who are the Hyenas?

Greetings from Orbis!

I’d like to share more about the stories behind the factions of Orbis and Ararat Island.
I briefly explained Orbis and the Hyenas a few Dev Notes back, but now I'd like to delve deeper
into how the Hyenas came about, and how they came to be a major force on the island.

As usual, let us know through Discord if you want more information about anything specific.
We’re always listening.



[h3]πŸ“’ The Origin of the Hyenas[/h3]
The Orbis space station, once a symbol of hope to humanity, gradually shifted its focus away
from its inhabitants.

Eventually, the government contracted the Helbine Corporation to replace a
significant portion of the workforce with robots, resulting in widespread unemployment
and the emergence of anti-government rebel factions.

Among these was a group of ex-military and police officers who had lost their jobs to the robots
and turned to smuggling and contract killing.

Initially acting as vigilantes and suppliers to the Orbis black market, this group,
known as the Hyenas, grew in size and power to become a major organized crime syndicate.

After a major rebellion on the space station, the Hyenas absorbed other outlaw groups and
expanded their influence, but when the government began cracking down on crime,
they fled to the planet's surface.

There, they fought alongside Vanessa Holden and the Pioneers against the Orbis government.



[h3]πŸ“’ A New Start on the Surface[/h3]
After occupying a supply base in the Delta region, they attempted to take down the Vulkan,
but were nearly annihilated.

Fortunately, their captain overloaded the plant's electronic converter,
causing a massive explosion that burned the entire region and left their captain,
Ethan Ruiz Reyes, missing.



Jeanne Belleville, who regarded Ethan as a father figure, assumed control of the Hyenas and blamed the Pioneers for his loss, vowing to eliminate them.

You’ll find many of their corpses scattered throughout the Bunker.

Only a few Pioneers are still alive, including Vanessa Holden.



[h3]πŸ“’ What They Want[/h3]
The Hyenas have commandeered numerous Orbis bases and equipped them with portals to connect to their mountain supply base.

Their expertise in weaponry and tactics is not to be underestimated, and Jeanne is easily provoked,
willing to kill anyone who gets in her way.

The Hyenas' ultimate objective is to establish their own independent government with themselves at the helm, with little concern for the safety of Earth or Orbis.
