The Gears began as a modest local drug gang on Verokha Prime, quickly gaining notoriety for their vehement resistance to the oppressive control of the Red Sun Dominion. Under the steadfast leadership of Thorne Balesworth, they transformed from a small-time outfit into a formidable resistance movement. By embracing ancient agricultural practices and resurrecting forgotten technologies, they set up a secret network of underground facilities in the Felo star system. This evolution marked a turning point that redefined their identity, ushering in a new era of subversive activism.

In a series of dramatic events, The Gears orchestrated operations that not only sabotaged the Dominion’s grip but also reinvigorated their ranks with disillusioned scientists, adept farmers, and free thinkers. Their covert actions included stealthy raids designed to topple supply networks, clandestine harvests that symbolized reclaiming control over their environment, and daring missions to uncover and repurpose long-forgotten technological relics. Each operation reinforced their reputation as innovative revolutionaries willing to risk everything for a cause. Today, The Gears stand as a testament to transformation and resilience—a band of rebels committed to forging a radically new way of life beyond tyranny.
