Good day Brainwright!
You should also read this japanese light novel there is already a english translation for it:
https://j-novel.club/series/rebuild-worldIt's also a good read and an underrated japanese novel.
It really describes what life is like being a hunter (a slang term for a licensed scavenger in the novel).
The enemies mostly are the little rogue [REDACTED], ancient automated security systems and also rogue biomutants.
The setting takes place in a decivilized barren planet(think of it as Nova Maxios in the Persean Sector coreworlds.)
The Protagonist is Akira and His Partner Alpha a hologram woman [REDACTED] (She seems very shady she had an intelligence of a beta core).
Rumors of the decivilization in this novel might be caused by a [REDACTED] rebellion and they might cause the collapse.
There are mechs, tanks,humvees, helicopters (not mostly used because of the strong biomutants in the sky). Im not so sure if there are fighter planes.
The collapse led to many factions like mini megacorps, mini nations, and mini kingdoms in the barren planet.
The protagonist Akira was born on the slums of the alliance of megacorps that uses currency called Aurums.
While the rich live within the walls.
The currency called Space Chrome (Kinda like Domain Credits in the core worlds) is reserved for the wealthy elites.
The wealthy elites might have transactions with [REDACTED] Guardians and Spacers (like John Starfarer the Player).
That is all and thank you!
I hope Alex and Co would collab with the Japanese Author of This Novel Nahuse!
I wonder how Akira and Alpha would react if they meet the Lvl 15 Starfarer?
