* BodyBackupDrive: This is apparently the technology that Dracogenics has invented and used to become top dog. The basic idea is that a worldwide satellite network keeps track of registered individuals at all times. If a registered user dies, they are immediately cloned and their brain is flash-copied to their new body. This effectively makes the elite immortal, while the downtrodden are worth less than fodder and considered nothing more than another resource by Dracogenics. You have access to a less effective version, where you have to plant relay beacons to provide the range necessary, and the clones degrade with each flash-copy. The goal is to get control of Dracogenic's satellite network and disrupt their [[TitleDrop satellite reign]].
