THE WORLD OF GUNKATANA
The Gunkatana death matches weren’t always the slaughterfest-spectacle they are today.
Some remember when it was different, when Gunkatana meant uprising and revolution. In the velas, the city’s neglected shantytowns, riots turned violent as inhabitants fought for rights and citizenship. Back then, Gunkatana meant freedom.
Then the megacorporations co-opted the concept and now sell it for profit. It has become a way of steering unrest and opposition into the right channels. They’re siphoning off the most violent and charismatic rebels.
Not all is lost, though. Among those training to fight, a feeling of dissent is growing stronger. But the corporation doesn’t plan on releasing its grip on Gunkatana anytime soon…
