 ===== The Pan-Euro Infosec Agency (PEIA) ===== ===== The Pan-Euro Infosec Agency (PEIA) =====
  
-The PEIA was a presumably Europe-based intelligence agency founded sometime before 2043((Olivia was already a PEIA agent in 2043 and must have joined some years prior, at which point the PEIA was still a fledgling organisation)). When the Resource Wars broke out in 2053, the PEIA became the prime (and eventually, only) opposition force to the corporations. Known members of the PEIA include Olivia "Central" Gladstone (long-time member and director of the PEIA in the 50's), Derek "MOnst3r" Mossman (recruited either in the 40's or 50's), Rush "Collette" Phan (2053) and Matei "Draco" Cernat (2053).+The PEIA was a presumably Europe-based intelligence agency founded sometime before 2043((Olivia was already a PEIA agent in 2043 and must have joined some years prior, at which point the PEIA was still a fledgling organisation)).

 ===== The Istanbul Run ===== ===== The Istanbul Run =====
  
-In 2057, the agency (likely a team of Olivia, Derek, Draco and Rush) undertook a high-stakes mission to assassinate the Joint Board of Directors during a secret meeting at the Istanbul Hotel (location unknown, but presumably somewhere in Plastech territory), perhaps a meeting where the San Francisco Accord and inter-corp peace talks were being planned. The mission failed due to the intervention of a lone Plastech security detail and several agents were captured. According to public view, the entire team, including Olivia, was executed in a public event on July 8th, 2057. In reality, at least Olivia and Derek survived the Istanbul Run, but Draco and Rush were likely among those executed.((Note: Since much of this information comes from The Istanbul Four, a corp-approved fictionalised retelling of the end of the PEIA, there is some ambiguity regarding which details are fact and which are corporate propaganda.))+On July 8th, 2057, the agency (likely a team of Olivia, Derek, Draco and Rush) undertook a high-stakes mission to assassinate the Joint Board of Directors during a secret meeting at the Istanbul Hotel (location unknown), perhaps a meeting where the San Francisco Accord and inter-corp peace talks were being planned.

-Post Resource Wars, in 2074, the territories of the world are roughly equally distributed between the four major corporations. K&O (grey) controls the entirety of Europe, part of the middle east, Austarlia, and Greenland (as well as Hawaii). Plastech controls South America, Africa, the Carribean, and Madagascar. FTM controls the entirety of North America, minus Hawaii. Sankaku controls most of Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Islands. +Post Resource Wars, in 2074, the territories of the world are roughly equally distributed between the four major corporations.
