backstory N.EX.T. and Proto.Pharm collaborated to create this style of spaceship, united by a belief that Earth is so damaged humanity would be better off escaping it. The Neocron space program was eventually abandoned and the industrial downturn that followed helped create the [[AbandonedArea OutZone]].

* NoobCave: Area MC5 is where a new character starts the game after a HumanPopsicle mishap and the player can get an extended tutorial on Neocron's many economic and combat systems here. A character can never return to this tutorial area once he uses the Gene Replicator to leave it. As a ContinuityNod a player exploring the wasteland can find a high difficulty version of Area MC5 where certain valuable items can be looted.

* ContinuingIsPainful: When a player character dies all of his stats and skills will be temporarily but severely reduced by 'Synaptic Impairment' which gradually decreases over time. Additionally some of the characters cyborg implants are likely to become uninstalled, requiring the player find someone whose character has the Implant skill to reinstall them if he wants to use them again. Finally, one or more items from the dead players inventory will drop with his 'Quick Access Belt' where he died. If he wants to get the dropped item back the player will need to return to where he died and take it from the dropped belt before another player hacks the belt and steals it. Fortunately characters can become [[PaddedSumoGameplay quite durable]] so death will be a rarity for a prepared player, outside of dedicated P.V.P.

Lasting just six hours, the nuclear armageddon which ensued sent the earth itself into chaotic flux for centuries; with earthquakes and violent storms reshaping the continents to an unknown extent. Humanity only claws itself back up to a ''tribal'' state after three hundred years. It isn't until the ''mid-28th century'' that, through the discovery of a knowledge project started six hundred years earlier, humanity's able to start rebuilding. And ''then'' the biggest city in the known world has its population reduced to the better part of ''a million people'' through a combination of coups and interstellar colonisation and has a former co-leader of the biggest terrorist faction in existence as its sole, all-powerful leader.

* EvilVsEvil: While every Neocron faction besides maybe the [[PlayfulHacker Fallen Angels]] are morally dubious, the most obvious example of this trope is the Black Dragon Clan versus the Tsunami Syndicate. In-universe they're the two major players in Neocron city's organized crime and black market and they frequently compete in Pepper Park's illicit sex and drugs scene violently. In-game players of one organization will always have players from the other labelled as 'Hostile', making them valid targets in most areas.
