Wassa Arbita Bande Organization in Cybersmily's Cyberpunk 2020 World | World Anvil

Wassa Arbita Bande

Wassa Arbita Bande/WAB ("Water Workers Band" The Word ) are a free ranging people, who often go from station to station eeking out a living in space. They will often take over abandon workshacks and live in it as long as possible. This usually is a result of needing to move due to dwindling supplies. Most corporations view members of this nation/tribe as cockroaches of space.

WAB, like a lot of Highrider nations, aren't formally organized. They move about space trying to survival. Their numbers aren't high, maybe a couple of thousand members. This makes them one of the smallest of the nations.

The Wassa Arbita Bande are not treated well by the corporations or ESA when their paths cross. This happens often while the WAB are squating in workshack that wasn't completely abandoned. There have been some video of these squaters thrown out the airlocks circulating. It is unknown how often this happens, but it is believed substantially more than what is reported.

Becaues of the harsh treatment, the WAB members are known to booby trap stations they occupy. Those who've had to clear a pack from a station often find the auot pilot have a course to plummet to Earth or the facility is hemorhaging atmosphere for thousands of small hidden leaks which is requires a complete rebuild of the hull.
