Deus Ex

The Lane Hacker group known as Deus Ex traces its origins to one of Ageira's many super-secret Research and Design divisions working on super-secret projects using super-secret knowledge originating from even more super-secret sources.

History
Eventually the Nomad war came and went only to be replaced by a witch hunt which resulted in a large scale purge in the ranks of Liberty's armed forces as well as in a key public contractor for the military - Ageira. Over a single night the situation for many of its workers was they found their lifes destroyed, left with nothing. Only a few dozen found the strength needed to keep living, looking for new options to rebuild their lives, most preferring to pick the easy route of ceasing to be.

Andersen M. Moore was one of those men. His entire division closed and liquidated - all trace of their activities erased from company records - he himself being fired on the basis of co-workers complaints on his management tactics. Being a pragmatist, he started to consider his options. His piloting skills and age made it impossible to risk long journey into Order space, where he would announce his defection from Liberty and reinforce Order research teams.

He chose the option with best cost to profit ratio: he joined his old coworkers as a Lane Hacker. It was 15 years ago when he disappeared on Mactan Base. Today Andersen enjoys considerable power and wealth, enabling him to break free from his past employers and try his chances in organizing his own group within the Lane Hackers.

If the application is accepted, the player must deposit 50mil credits to the faction bank. That money will be used by the faction to fuel its in-game activities (funding member's ships, organizing events, etc).
