About the book:
Salvage Union is a post-apocalyptic mech tabletop roleplaying game. You play as salvager mech pilots who scour the wasteland for salvage in scrap built mechs.
Set in a scarred, dystopian, world ruled by corporations whose denizens live in isolated mega-settlements known as Arcos. The corpos control the vast majority of arable land and resources and have a constant hunger for power and control.
As Salvagers you have found a way to live your lives outside the bounds of corpo control, roaming the wastes in a vast mech known as a Union Crawler which houses your entire community. The scrap you haul back to your Union Crawler is used to support, sustain, and grow your community and craft new mechs for you and your crew.
As you explore the wastelands for scrap you’ll encounter wastelanders, raiders, mutants, Bio-Titans, alien Meld, and corpo forces all fighting for survival in this hostile landscape.
