Wildlings

There are those who can't or won't live within the ever-growing, ever-collapsing urban expanses of the world. No matter their reasons, that is a dangerous prospect. They must travel in large groups, heavily armed and armored if they want to get from point A to point B, even if they don't have far to go. Not to mention the fact that they're usually unwelcome when they arrive.
They travel from place to place, taking whatever work they can find to feed themselves and their vehicles just a little longer. They'll take anything, or so people say. Transport, farming, protection and racketeering, murder, drug running, deputized work. The rumors of Wilings running assassinations, even within urban centers, fuels much of the idea that every Wildling convoy and clan will do anything for money. Those clans do exist, make no mistake, but they should be judged on a case by case basis.
Their experience with the dangers of travel outside an urban center does, however make them an invaluable resource to any corp that produces Soul Augmenting equipment. They have to get the parts somewhere, after all. Even in hard times, the Wildlings can make use of that knowledge and take monster-hunting contracts at pretty much all times. Not a career that most clans want, considering the toll on member numbers such a job can take, even for a single contract.

The casualties that simply existing in the places that Wildlings are forced to inhabit incure furthur drive Wildling clans to their tight-knit communities, feeling that urbanites have lives far easier than theirs, and reap most of the benefits.

Wildling clans have been around for almost all of recorded history, though not always by the name. Long ago and into the modern era they were regarded as welcome and necessary part of life by all, sometimes even being romanticized as a sort of roving band of paladins and patron saints. 
The cultural distaste for them began early in the corporate era, due to a mix of corporate social engineering against something they struggled to control and an assumed case of mass jelousy on the part of an assuming and only partially filled in general public.
