Guide written by Shouryu

Overview:
In the wake of a great earthquake, corporate giant GENOM towers over the new city it helped to rebuild, Megatokyo. But with any corporation, there is corruption and deceit, and GENOM has not only rebuilt a city, but also produce synthetic humans and war machines called boomers that threaten mankind's existence. In order to keep humanity safe from the threat of being rendered extinct, the mercenary group known as the Knight Sabers stands alone to keep the balance of power between the citizens of Megatokyo and the mechanizations of GENOM in check.

Some Characters of Note:

Sylia Stingray: The leader of the Knight Sabers; her father actually had a hand in the technological advances that have been stolen and twisted by GENOM. Her daytime cover is that of a lingerie shop owner, but in truth, she is continually watching the inner works of GENOM and using her own surprising genius (she's only 23!) and technological skills to keep the humans safe.

Linna Yamazaki : The Knight Sabers melee combat specialist and daytime dance/aerobics instructor, Linna lost her parents to the great earthquake at 15. Now 22, she leads a fairly contended, normal life, aside from the fact that she dons armor and battles combat boomers with unmatched grace and skill.

Priss Asagiri : Having also lost her parents to the quake, Priss adopted a biker's lifestyle and now sings in a rock band. Her agression and distaste for GENOM's overlooked crimes are channelled into her role as the Knight Sabers heavy assault and long range specialist. She is fairly young, at 19.

Nene Romanova: The youngest member, at 18, serves as a mole within the A.D. Police. Nene is a hacker extraordinaire, and the Knight Sabers utilize her amazing computer operating capabilities to their max. Although has suffered no personal tradgedies, she enjoys the mental and technological challenges her work with the Sabers brings.
