The Constitutional Resistance Bloc
The CRB is the closest thing the broken world has to a conscience with a trigger finger — a leaderless web of cells that fights corporate and AI rule by refusing to be predictable, governable, or gone. You can’t behead a thing with no head.
The CRB isn’t an army. It’s a structure built so it can’t be destroyed by killing the right person — because there is no right person. It runs on independent cells: small, autonomous, and walled off from one another. No central rank. Members go by codenames and never trade real ones. Leadership rotates and rests on respect, not command, so a captured cell can’t betray a chain that doesn’t exist.
Work flows in through Fixers, who hand out high-risk jobs in packets scrambled by Jefferson’s randomization — so even the pattern of CRB activity resists being read. Secrecy isn’t a tactic for them. It’s the whole reason they’re still breathing.
The Bloc is a broad church. The same three letters cover people who would never recognize each other’s methods:
Most cells live somewhere between the two — organizers who can pick up a rifle, raiders who know the people they’re bleeding for. The tension between the two faces is a constant, and it’s where a lot of the best CRB stories live.
| The Alamo Circuit | Texas | Long-range railgun strikes and drone swarms. |
| Red Dirt Battalion | Oklahoma | Hit-and-run warfare and misinformation. |
| Sunflower Command | Kansas | Weather warfare and bio-sabotage. |
| River Ghosts | Arkansas | Underwater infiltration and smuggling. Arrived on their own at the White Siege. |
| Liberty Front | Missouri | Urban insurgency and command coordination — closest to Neutral St. Louis. |
Beneath the regional divisions runs the CRB’s deep-infiltration arm: the Ghost Cells. Rankless, fully autonomous, taking missions only through Fixers and Jefferson-scrambled packets. Two kinds work the dark:
Wanderers — nomadic teams moving city to city, never staying long enough to be mapped. · Locals — embedded operatives who master one patch of ground and disappear into it. Many a player crew starts here, running a Fixer’s errands before they’re trusted with anything that matters.
Ask a cell who really leads the CRB and you’ll get a name spoken like scripture: Jefferson. Blamed and credited for impossible turns — the machines that rounded on their masters at the White Siege, the packet that arrived a second before it was needed, the raid that should have failed and didn’t. Whether Jefferson is a person, a machine, or a story the resistance tells itself to keep walking into the cold, no one in a cell will say. Maybe no one in a cell knows.
Cell leaders & operation commanders · Fixers who assign the jobs · field medics (every cell needs one) · documentarians and organizers · saboteurs and drone-jackers · smugglers and couriers · the rare, trusted Ghost.
A former professional drone pilot turned guerrilla tactician out of Oklahoma. He specializes in mid-air hijacks and aerial ambushes, and he can strip a corporate combat drone to components in minutes and have it flying for the resistance by morning. Loud, dry-humored, and far more dangerous than he looks.
For a crew that can’t stomach the corps, the CRB is the obvious home — and the hardest to truly join. The work is sabotage runs, evidence grabs, protecting a settlement that can’t protect itself, hijacking a shipment, moving people the corps want erased.
They trust slowly and never forget a betrayal. Because nobody trades names, you prove yourself by what you risk, not what you say — and standing with the Bloc is worth more than any corp’s pay, because it’s the one alliance that was never for sale. Their proudest proof of what they can do still lies frozen on the Ash Delta outside St. Louis.
This is the CRB you can see from the outside. The full cell structure, the Fixer economy, the true reach of Jefferson’s hand, and how a crew climbs from errand-runners to a cell of their own are detailed in the Core Rulebook and Chrome Gospel. A resistance this hard to kill doesn’t show you its real shape — not even here.
