“For Reza, for Neocron, for the people.”

Freedom… an unknown concept until Reza‘s prospering rule began. The CityAdmin and NCPD were created by President Reza in order to protect and serve the people of Neocron. The NCPD protects the citizens from internal and external threats while the CityAdmin plays, as the name indicates, an administrative role in running the city.

Of course, President Reza, contrary to what dissidents and political agitators try to propagate, is not a despotic, power-hungry autocrat who holds the city in an iron grip. In fact, the benevolent leader of Neocron is a wise and learned man, who merely is head of the city council, which holds the true power in the city. Suspicions that the current members are only Reza‘s puppets are of course totally unfounded and don’t contain the slightest trace of truth. Citizens are now allowed to live their lives in relative safety under the vigilant eyes of their unwavering guardians: the Cop- and StormBots. These mysterious law enforcers stand guard around the clock, protecting Neocron against all harmful individuals. Crime is kept at a minimum with the CopBots’ effi cient crime prevention system. Each CopBot is judge, jury and executioner in one; their word is law, their actions irreversible.

Headquarters

The headquarters of the CityAdmin is located in the Plaza district, the heart of Neocron. A majestic and impressive building of steel, concrete and glass acts as the town center. The NCPD and all the important parts of the CityAdmin are controlled from here. Its security installations are impenetrable. Traditionally this building – as well as its predecessors – has always been the seat of the Neocron government. Legend has it that Thor‘s ancient headquarters was situated here and even before that, when there was no city of Neocron yet, the settlement of Jeriko was located in the vicinity.

Players who choose CityAdmin as their Runner‘s faction will start out in an apartment in the Plaza district.

Key figures

In former times President Lioon Reza, 64 years old and charitable leader of Neocron, very closely co-operated with the present leader of the terrorists of the Twilight Guardian, Hagen Yager. At that time, they founded the Guardian together, in order to fight against the Psi Monk government.

It is unclear whether the two men actually were friends or only formed a functional alliance, but it is certain that Yager wanted to deceive Reza in order to take over power. Reza and his loyal followers were able to prevent this and Yager had to flee. He took control of the Twilight Guardian and its freedom fi ghters, misleading them on his own dark path. They now are public enemies, operating a guerrilla war against the CityAdmin and the inhabitants of Neocron.

President Reza governs Neocron resolutely and justly. His Cop- and StormBots provide security for the inhabitants and take care of the constant mutant and terrorist threat. The CityAdmin ensures that everyone can lead a safe and successful life. However, little is actually known about him personally, since Reza seldom appears in public and avoids social events.

History

The CityAdmin and the NCPD were established shortly after the fall of the Psi Monk government in the year 2724. Since that time, their infl uence and position constantly grew, so that today the CityAdmin completely controls the Plaza district and Via Rosso. Although you may meet NCPD patrols outside of these districts, their infl uence will not be suffi cient to suppress crime there, and malicious tongues claim that this fact is not completely unwelcome to the CityAdmin, as it supposedly is not in their interest to prevent all illegal activities.

Many loud skeptics and critics were silenced when the CityAdmin proved its power and ability in the second Dome of York war. It fi rst pushed the enemy back in an open field battle and fi nally defeated the Dome with its own weapon. Unfortunately, the CityAdmin failed to secure the ultimate objective: Conquering the Dome of York. The Anti-Reza coalition got to the Dome fi rst and now fi rmly defends it against Neocron.

Rumors

According to directive NCCA-162-0-114, rumors about the CityAdmin and president Reza are strictly forbidden. Any violation is punishable by death sentence.

Friend and foe

The Brotherhood of Crahn and the Twilight Guardian are the oldest and best-known enemies of the CityAdmin. There have been confl icts between these factions ever since President Reza took over power. The Twilight Guardian commits regular terrorist attacks against the city and the Brotherhood is only a little less inclined to violent measures, posing a major threat as well.

Criminal organizations like the Tsunami Syndicate or the Black Dragon have been a pain in the government’s neck for years. Its CopBots will therefore show no mercy against any drug traffi cker, pimp or blackmailer.

Most large companies such as Tangent Technologies and ProtoPharm are trustworthy allies of the CityAdmin. They supply the NCPD with equipment, weapons and technology and in exchange receive certain privileges from the city administration. A neutral relationship exists with the City Mercs and the Fallen Angels. In case of the Angels, they haven’t been interested in any formal alliance with Neocron since the clashes and the following surveillance by the CityAdmin, although this stubborn behavior may be credited to the Twilight Guardian‘s influence.
