[edit] History

In the Aberrant timeline, in 1998 the space station Galatea exploded in space. As most people figure it, radiation fallout from the explosion somehow caused various people around the world to erupt as novas, individuals with the ability to manipulate the four universal quantum forces.

[edit] Allegiances

Unlike other White Wolf games, Aberrant doesn't exactly have any distinct splats. Instead, it has several loose allegiances to which one can belong.

• Project Utopia, an organization founded by the Æon Society to study and to help novas
  • Team Tomorrow, a series of "super teams" created by Project Utopia to help demonstrate the epitome of Utopian ideals
• Teragen, a group of novas who believe that they are as far above humanity as humans are above apes, and should not be held accountable by human law
• Aberrants, a small group of novas who are trying to expose the corruption inside Project Utopia.
• Project Proteus The secret group within Project Utopia whose agenda is the study and control of the "nova" phenomenon by any means necessary.
• The Directive, a secretive multi-national government agency who stand as humanity's self-appointed protectors against "novas", whom they consider a growing threat.
• Elites, military proxies used by governments of groups, (with a lot of resources), to wage war. They are changing the dynamics of war.

Various other minor allegiances exists, with regional agendas or common goals around the world.
