<br/><strong>The Highway District </strong><br/><br/><br/><br/>(http://idesigniphone.net/wallpapers/52511.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Territory</strong><br/>The highway never cut very deep into Neonopolis, hugging close the city’s southern border before simply leaving the city all together. From the first day of its design the highway was meant to do two things, the first was to be an efficient mode of transportation that would be the envy of every other city state. The second was to offer the best view of Neonopolis possible, to make it seem to every driver that Neonoplois was truly a utopia and that there were no problems there. This was accomplished very simply.  The neighbor hoods and houses around  the highway were removed, relocated, and torn down. In their place several different tourist traps were built, chief amongst these were the river walks along the river walks along the eastern edge of the western edge of the river, and Neonopolis Stadium. The future home of the upcoming Inter-City State Olympic games.<br/><br/>This made the highway, and the stadium the only two major buildings in the area, surrounded by a string of high end motels, and restaurants, most of which did not manage to survive the explosion.<br/><br/><strong>Base</strong><br/>After gathering his forces Kaneda and The Dancers began searching for any place that they could use as a defensive base. Eventually they made their way to what was left of the stadium (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/ghapama/stadium.jpg). Only to find that it was a wreck, and that there was already a camp of survivors there…Needless to say all the survivors either got the ‘honor’ of becoming members of The Dancers. Or they were asked to leave the stadium.  After a bit of investigating Kaneda and his men were surprised to find a weapons store under the stadium’s center field. Apparently the government had been using the stadium as a warehouse for spare weapons, and vehicles under development.<br/><br/>After looting everything of use Kaneda made a decision, the stadium was undependable and would not do as a defendable base. Luckily for him there were several useful ‘toys’ in the stadium one of which was a mobile command vehicle (http://lh6.ggpht.com/__A54rk4dprU/SeSXiA4BCPI/AAAAAAAAG_k/-nio5GVocZg/IMG_1619.JPG). Originally intended to be used behind the lines to co-ordinate troop movements it had everything The Dancers needed in a base. It was tough, it could communicate, and most importantly it could move…fast.<br/><br/>With their new base, and new toys The Dancers rode onto what was left of the highway, it had been sturdy enough to retian most of it's shape and intergrity, even if there were some sections that had fallen, it was not impossible to navigate.<br/><br/>Constantly on the move, The Dancers rely on their mobility and speed as a constant defense, anyone attempting to attack them must first find them on the highway. And then face the problems of attempting to assault a target moving at high speed. In addition to this The Dancers have set up several obstacles and traps along every rout of the high way, the idea being that any attack on their base will turn into a chase, on their home turf, with all the traps working for them, as their enemy’s are slowly worn down, pecked to pieces attempting to keep up.<br/><br/><strong>Forces</strong><br/><br/>Common forces:<br/><br/>Weapons/Equipment: One of the first stops The Dancers made was to a government warehouse on their turf. Their they armed themselves with whatever weapons and vehicles they could scavenge, some experiment, The Dancers are nowhere near having a ‘uniform’ weapon, that having been said the vast majority of them carry some sort of firearm. Weather be a pistol  (http://www.airsoftgi.com/images/airsoft-TECblasterA.jpg) or an  assult rifle (http://th00.deviantart.net/fs18/300W/f/2007/143/6/7/Assault_rifle_by_jimsvanberg.jpg) .  In addition to this, Several of The Dancers have gotten their hands on anti-armor weapons in the form of ant-armor rifles (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/3/3e/Gauss_Rifle.png/800px-Gauss_Rifle.png) and  rpgs (http://pfcdn.net/site/t/content_image/image/80/808__killzone-2-m80-missile-launcher.jpeg).<br/><br/><br/>Vehicles:<br/>Every Dancer has a vehicle of some sort to ride, the vast majority of these are simply modified civilian models. By far the largest percentage of these are  motorcycles (http://hondafanimages.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/hondav4motorcycle_2.jpg). Ridden by a single Dancer, or two. Each rider carrying their own weapon and using it as they ride their bike. But in addition to these there are several other vehicles that the dancers use such as:<br/><br/><br/>Several gun trucks (http://media.photobucket.com/image/gun%20car/Cyrilk/emailjokes_c_42678_ATT00101.jpg?o=18) The Dancers based these on some military grade weapons platforms they found in the stadium, each of these was once a normal truck, which The Dancers were able to salvage from the highway wreckage. Once running, machine guns were attached to them.<br/><br/><br/>Uncommon Forces:<br/><br/>The Dancers also uncovered a number of experimental vehicles and weapons when they broke into the government warehouse, granted they could never figure out how to drive or use some of them, but the ones they did figure out have since been ‘liberated’ and are as follows:<br/><br/>Weapons:<br/><br/>Twelve prototype assault rifles (http://i32.tinypic.com/n4jkt5.jpg). Capable of fireing at a much higher rate without fear of jamming or overheating. Given to Kaneda’s most trusted men<br/><br/>One prototype  sniper rifle (http://starcraft.incgamers.com/gallery/data/533/ART25.JPG): Using a hightech scope and depleted uranium ant-personal rounds this rifle was meant to strike from far away and kill its target(and anyone behind it) with one clean shot Given to the best shot in the gang.<br/><br/>One experimental  laser weapon (http://personal3.iddeo.es/alexvidal/akira/rifle.jpg): Based on a cutting beam system originally used to cut battleship armor for search and rescue missions, years of effort were put into making the system small enough to be carried by a single person. This is the result of that research, a continuous high intensity beam weapon, whose only drawback is a somewhat limited battery life, and a very large power pack.  Which Kaneda has claimed for himself.<br/><br/><br/>Vehicles<br/><br/>Ten experimental flying platforms (http://www.pwlawrence.com/temp_art/hoverbike_small2_inside2.jpg): Orginally a one man platform armed with an underslung gatling gun developed to be used as scouts in a major battle, The Dancers have welded a second rear facing seat onto each platoform, the rider in this seat is given a single rpg to fire when ever it will be most useful. The platforms were are crewed by anyone in the gang who is crazy enough to ride them.<br/><br/>One  flying truck (http://frm45.free.fr/Images/Diverses/Cinema_SciFi/Serenity_model/Serenity_Mule_texture_icone.jpg): A four man version of the flying platform, originally designed to give commanders a better view of the battle field, one heavy machine gun has been attached along side each passenger seat, the criteria for using it is the same as the smaller flying platforms.<br/><br/><br/>One Riot Tank (http://media.moddb.com/images/groups/1/3/2074/ca21_gatling.jpg): Developed to quell help quell the more violent riots which used to take place in the lower levels, this ‘tank’ is armed with a pair of Gatling guns, it is fast, and possesses very light armor which is capable of protecting it from most small arms and the occasional rpg. It excels against infantry, and lightly armored vehicles, but finds itself very outgunned and under armored when battling against a heavily armed and armored foe, such as another tank with a bigger gun.
