The average citizen of Mega-City One is usually docile and, while not respectful of the Law, at least fearful of it. When the madness of a block war takes over, however, citizens gather into large, sometimes huge, mobs. At this point, they become exceptionally...
-
A hotbed of unemployment, boredom and crime Mega-City One is home to the wild, the weird and the dangerous. Citizens who cannot handle the pressures of the 22nd century succumb to Future Shock Syndrome – a condition known as going ‘Futsie’ – setting out...
-
Whether their raison d’être is to protect their block, experience the thrill of petty lawlessness or become involved in organised crime, the average citizen and Justice Department alike. When a block war breaks out the block gangs are more often than not to be...
-
The ranks of the many Mega-City One gangs are made up of juves, punks, and lieutenants amongst others. Starting as early as the tender age of six years old, the majority of juves carry melee weapons although some may have low-grade firearms. Low-level gang...
-
With unemployment and boredom rife in Mega-City One, many citizens, especially juves, join gangs. Many gangs identify with and recruit solely from a single block, whilst others pull in members from all across the city, attracted to the gang’s philosophy, colours, or charismatic leader....
-
"Klegg-Hai!, Klegg-Hai!, Klegg-hai!" This chilling alien battle cry has echoed across a universe of battlefields, heralding the arrival of the nightmarish Klegg. Mercenary warriors over ten feet tall and resembling an enormous bipedal Crocodile. The Klegg are utterly ruthless in the art of war;...
-
More radical Mutie factions dream of taking the MegaCities away from the ‘norms’ and take every opportunity to raid the cities themselves, causing destruction and sowing terror. Due to the massive wall defences of the Mega‐Cities an overland attack is nigh suicidal. Raiders who...
-
Despite the widespread opinion of Muties as stupid and animal‐like, a surprising number are tech‐savvy and scavenge extensively among the ruins of the Cursed Earth. There are dozens of small bands with the skill to convert run-of‐the‐mill mounts, such as Power Boards and Sky...
-
When a block war comes, Fatties can really pull their not inconsiderable weight. Improvised armour will be strapped to their considerable bulk and then pushed at full speed towards the enemy to be used as a living battering ram. Every fat camp has a...
-
In the 2080s speed and volume eating, ‘scoffing’, became a competitive sport and extreme obesity became the desired body image for many Mega-City citizens. In retaliation to the percieved injustice of the food restrictions following the Apocalypse War, militant elements of the obese founded...
-
Mega-City One has been the target of violent coups, crime wars, otherworldly onslaughts and foreign invasions – each being the brainchild of a villain wanting to see the city, Justice Department and/or Dredd himself perish... Sov agent Orlok the Assassin nearly brought the city...
-
Most Mega-City citizens are generally too lazy to get off their backsides and do the menial work performed by these semi-sentient robots. Robots have 'AZI-MOV protocols' forbidding them from harming a human. Yet, some break their programming. Mega-City One has been hit with two...
-
When a block war erupts the men, women and robot auxiliaries of the Justice Department bear the brunt of quelling the fighting and preventing it spilling into a multi-block war – or worse. Assault Judges are all handpicked veterans, pulled from the ranks of...
-
Not all Citi-Def units have a Jaeger Squad but those who do often consider them to be an elite force. Each member of the Jaeger Squad is a full-time Citi-Def soldier dedicated to protecting their block against all enemies. Training hard in infiltration skills...
-
The cliched impression the majority of Mega-City inhabitants have of the Citi-Def is of military wannabes bingeing on Tri-D action vids and barely able to point their weapons in the right direction. This view is not all that wide of the mark, which makes...
-
Larger blocks have a secure armoury in which most of the Citi‐Defs weapons are stored. This includes not only small arms but also various explosives and an array of heavy weapons. Unfortunately, some less than stable squad leaders have been known to abuse this...
-
The rank and file Citi‐Def trooper is a volunteer drawn from the block population who agrees to spend at least one day a month attending Citi‐Def training and orientation meetings. All are given basic training in squad tactics and care and maintenance of personal...

“Me? I’m nobody. A ghost. A hole in the crowd… a big, fat zero.” There are some criminal investigations that require intelligence gathering, where the presence of a uniformed Judge brandishing a Lawgiver is not appropriate. For these activities the Justice Department has formed...
