Sons of the Reich
by Christian Røder
History
After the ending of the Second World War the secret sons of Joseph Goebbles, Heinrich Himmler, Herman Goering, and Adolph Hitler were cryogenically frozen in a castle, still to be unnamed. A hundred years after the end of the war, the four sons emerged from the Heartmountains of Germany in the German Alpes. They gathered people who lived up to the arian principals and started training them to be a new breed of SD, SA, and Gestapo troopers (these also include some assassins), cybernetically enhanced.
The assassins are highly skilled and are considered to be the best in the world, some theories say, that they were hired to kill Dunklzahn and did it during the presidential election in UCAS in 2058.
The assassins are for hire, and thereby they provide a constant flow of cash to Sons of the Reich.
The scientists also developed a new breed of robots, the Cyborgs. They developed two races of cyborgs, Alpha and Beta.
The H.Q. of Sons of the Reich cannot be found anywhere, but in 2048 a company associated with Sons of the Reich bought a Russian Typhoon-VIII ICBM submarine and rented a drydock for five and a half months, in order to strip the sub for missile tubes and install living quarters and military training facilities in it. After the modified sub was launched, it has not been seen.
Structure of Sons of the Reich
- Generals: Silas Goebbles, Johann Himmler, Hanz Goering, and Markus Hitler.
- Gestapo: The Gestapo Corps consists of approximately 150 troopers and 5 of the superassassins, approximately 50 of the ordinary troopers teach at the military academy in the sub. The Gestapo Corps acts as captains in the chain of command in the Sons of the Reich’s private army.
- SA: The Sturm Abteilung consists of approximately 250 troopers, who are trained to run Black Ops and terror actions against metahuman and non-white protestant gentile societies. The SA acts as lieutenants in the chain of command.
- SD: The Sicherheitsdienst consists of approximately 1000 troopers, who are trained aboard the sub and then are sent to the companies who the Sons of the Reich are associated with. These troopers act as sergeants in the chain of command.
- Cyborg race Alpha: There are approximately 1500 of these robots, who act as grunts in the chain of command.
- Cyborg race Beta: There are approximately 75 of these mnemonic couriers, who carry information to and from the submarine and the companies associated with Sons of the Reich.

Well, this is it. I hope all of you Runners out there will enjoy slaughtering or being slaughtered by some of these psykos. As one of my friends so elliquantly put it, when he saw, what kind of troopers I made : "These are the kind o� guys, who would drink a gallon of petrol, just so they could piss on your campfire!?!"
