Colombia happens to be of the hardest hit by unrest as of late. After the collapsing of the global confederacy, it only took a year for the vacuum of power at the capital to be filled by several highly economically influential and well-armed mobs, or “Familias”, to take control of most of each major city’s basic services.

The government was only a front as any elected politician simply represented one of the five main Familias of Bogota: the Vera’s of Santa Fe (or downtown), the Galeano’s of Kennedy (the largest populations), the Benitez of Usme (the poorest), the Saravia’s of Teusaquillo (most foreigner-born population), and the Rocha’s of Usaquen (the richest).

For most of the time since the Familias took power, shaky but sustained cooperation between them helped them economically rule Bogota, including control of the police and the justice system. Freedoms and rights were at all-time lows since pre-confederacy times, and recently the Rocha’s began to change their tune as they utilized their much larger tax base to fund the protestors and funnel them weapons and vehicles.

Unidentified foreign aid also provided the first MBI which led a raid on the Parliament as they tried to take control of the district as well. This started an inter-Familia war as the Rocha’s were accused of trying to take control of Bogota and in turn insert their politicians into the SAU Council who can promote pro-confederacy sentiment across the continent.

The Familias staunchly fought back as they would lose everything if such a governing body were to take back over. But with the military and police horribly underfunded over the decades, there are only what forces the Familias have to try and prevent such changes. But as of late, the Rochas are assumed to be coming with more and more firepower, overwhelming the opposition week by week. This also encourages the public to resort to their own protests and violence directed at the Familias and their establishments. The only thing holding back any Familia from responding all out is the fear of destroying their own city over their in-fighting. But that might have to change, soon, as well.

Sebastian is the youngest of the three Navarre siblings who work for the Galeano’s of Kennedy. He along with his older brother Renzo and older sister Dani were of a dozen original pilots for the purchased Bernaud MI-r LTACs from a source kept private from them, but nonetheless made good use of them against the more heavily equipped acts of violence and also served even more effectively against any protest that went out of control.  While the three Navarre’s were reluctant to fight for a corrupt power, they were held in check by their fear of a complete take-over who would allow the city to eat itself alive in violence and turmoil.

But as of a week ago, all but two of their LTACs, which Renzo had dubbed their “Caballeros”, were destroyed in their first clash with a wave of Hexa AiX knock-offs from an unidentified political interest. As a result, the Galeanos and Veras attempted to make temporary peace with the Rochas to buy time for rearming and regrouping by releasing several political prisoners to them. However, it seems that won’t go to plan as they had hoped.
