Gangs

In the 22nd century, gang activities in metropolis-areas increased by ten-folds. Astonishing amount of areas in large neo-metropolises fell into the hands of various violent gang groups. Rival gangs also fight among themselves over the territories, causing massive desertation of the cities. These desolated areas are considered as gang territories.

The gangs are very well equiped. Most of their equipment are obtained cheaply from the black market. The equipment are all advance military fire-powers. The police forces are definitely no match for these high-tech gangs. Police officers are still using handguns, for public safety, that are not comparable to the assult rifles most gang members carry.

The citizens and the police force are frustrated. Citizens refused to live and work in these gang territories, while officers refused to serve there. Few continued to live in these gang territories, causing further desolation. Most of the police officers have families to consider. With the risk of injury higher than fifty percent, most of them are unwilling to take the risk, even if their lowly-paid salaries are to increase.

Corporate Involvement

Majority of gang bosses are working with or under the control of large coporations. Some of them are even corporate associates. The corporations use these gang groups to take over various territories in neo-metropolises. Then they purchase these territories from frustrated owners for a very low price. If the owner of a property do not sell, the gangs will continue to harass and threaten the property owner. Once the corporations obtain possession of the properties, they are renovated into corporate facilities.

To support the gang activiates, corporations smuggle military equipment into the black market for gang members to purchase. The corporations may even go as far as intentionally setting up low security warehouses and arrange gang raids. To keep gangs under control, corporations distribute controlled substances into gang territories. Once the gang population is addicted, they need more. Eventually, the gangs falls under the mercy of the corporations. In the end, corporations became major contenders for political powers.

Government

With crime on the rise, the government is forced to spend more of its budget on equipping its law-enforcement forces. The government is forced to purchase additional equipment from the corporations that sell the equipment. This circular effect gives the corporations even more incentive to ignite gang wars.

The government sees the problem. But it has already lost quite a bit of its political power to the corporations. It is unable to convince the police forces to enforce the law in troubled areas. Gangs are quick to eliminate any law-enfocement agencies that the government establishes in gang territories.

To fight the gang wars, the government decides to establish a new law enforcement force called the Gang Crusher Commando Force (GCCF). The Gang Crusher Commando Force will slowely, but surely secure gang infected terroritories, enforce the law, and eliminate gang activity. Unlike other law-enforcement agencies, there are fewer members in GCCF, but they are better equipped with more fire power.

Gang Crusher Commando Force (GCCF)

The GCCF consists of members who are motivated to put their life at risk to benefit society as a whole. Quite a few of them have less to loose compared to an average police officer. Prior to entering the GCCF Academy, they might lack a family, lack a career, and less promising future. They joined GCCF to make something out of themselves.

The main purpose of the GCCF is to stop the conspiracy of the corporations, to stop the gang wars, and to enforce justice. They must enforce the law by eliminating the source of criminal intent.

GCCF is made up of different teams of GCCF officers. Each team consists of three officers and one team leader. Upon given an assignment, the team is on their own and will receive no further aids unless truly necessary. There are no strict rules for a GCCF officer to follow. But team cooperation is necessary for its survival.

Through out an operation, GCCF members will be monitored by the headquarter with the video/audio transmitter carried by each member. The transmittions are monitored by a Commando Support or a number of them. The transmitter is to be carried at all times. To ensure the officers are not doing anything abusive, the officers will be put on trial if the transmitters are turned off intentionally at anytime during the mission. Turning off the transmitter without an authorized reason is a crime.
