The Protectorate are pushed to their limits as they hunt anomalies into this unknown territory and offer contracts. Hosted by brigands and strange individuals, a small saloon in the even smaller, newly-formed town of Tombstone, Arizona, is transformed into their makeshift base of operations: Their only method of identification being a series of secret codes and handshakes.Ī young Axton-Hornsby Exploration Society rises into prominence after their recent successes in acquisition for the Authority's European branches: given nearly no oversight, it sends exploration parties under several facade company charters in the United States. Still reeling from their newly found independence, the Authority rides a wave of newfound Catholicism into undiscovered territory in an attempt to tame the Last Stretch of the American Frontier.
