Obroda

Militant separatist organization

Obroda emerged as a breakaway military faction at a time when the human mind began to be mass-subordinated to neural implants developed by the corporations Franklin Robotics and Cybertonix. Its original mission was to protect human continuity, not of the body, but of consciousness itself. Obroda stations gradually became a refuge for those who refused to undergo the standardization of the mind.

Outwardly, it presents itself as a colonization project. In reality, however, it forms a closed ecosystem where what has been suppressed elsewhere survives: unpredictability, emotionality, and genuine human creativity. Where implanted populations move toward optimized uniformity, Obroda preserves deviation.

Implants are publicly presented as a harmless extension of abilities. According to Obroda, however, this is not an extension but a replacement. The original consciousness is overwritten by a structure, a template into which memories, habits, and personal history are uploaded. The result is an entity that believes it is a continuation of the original person, even though its decisions are now governed by a different, versioned system.

These systems are regularly updated, optimized, and adapted to specific roles. Personality thus becomes a product, a standardized model corresponding to the required function.

Obroda refers to this process as the silent erasure of individuality. Its goal is to disrupt its spread, protect the non-implanted, and preserve the ability for truly autonomous decision-making, even at the cost of conflict.

Its followers believe that human imperfection is not a flaw of the system, but its essence. That it is within error, doubt, and irrationality that something exists which cannot be synthetically reproduced.

Paradoxically, Obroda has thus become one of the most valuable sources of “pure” colonists, individuals whose minds have not yet been altered and are therefore ideal candidates for implantation. For this reason, it faces constant attacks. Armed raids aimed at abducting its members are not exceptions, but a daily reality, against which Obroda defends itself with the same determination with which it defends the very essence of humanity.
