==Historical overview== | |||
A little over 120 years ago, an elusive and radically advanced culture of genetic manipulators gifted a small megacorporation with the blueprint for a piece of technology that was to radically change the course of history. For a small group of select individuals—those with the rare physical and mental characteristics required to survive the transition into posthumanism—this technology would provide the gateway to power and riches beyond their wildest dreams. Though it is known by most as simply “the pod” or “the capsule,” the device’s full name is the hydrostatic capsule, and the pilot encased within its armored shell is known as a "capsuleer" (alternatively, "capsule pilot" or "pod pilot"). | A little over 120 years ago, an elusive and radically advanced culture of genetic manipulators gifted a small megacorporation with the blueprint for a piece of technology that was to radically change the course of history.
