Emma Rook

In the vast deserts of southern Aurora, there is a country, a small, mostly underdeveloped country by the name of Esto. Esto, sizing at 13,789 square miles (roughly 35,713 square kilometers), is a landlocked, mostly desert country with a population of around nine million. Over half of Esto's population lives below the national poverty line. The country is run by a corrupt dictator, one that focuses more on profit and undivided power than the lives of the people. These acts have driven the country into national poverty. However, Esto holds large natural gas and oil reserves. To profit, the Estin government forms contracts with foreign drilling companies to drill into the ground an extract the substances. Thousands were displaced when the drilling companies came in. People were forced to move. Anger and fear rose. Fearing the newly found threat from the locals, most companies either withdraw from the contract, or choose to hire mercenaries for protection. Emma serves the Cass Alysha Mercenaries Corps as a 1st Lieutenant. They were hired to protect a field of drilling rigs owned by the Lockery Gas Company. Citizens of a nearby village have shown their disapproval of the company's involvement in the region. Some have shown signs of aggression, but haven't acted.
