The Beta Agency
The Beta Agency¸ often simply known as "the Beta"¸ is a private investigation and security agency based on Ash¸ but operating throughout the whole Horizon system. The services offered by the agency are diverse¸ from advanced forensics consulting
to highly focused incursions in Horde controlled territories.
Given the number of specializations required¸ the Betas¸ as the organisation's agents are called¸ have very different backgrounds. The Agency pays well and isn't against hiring freelancers¸ if they need them.
The Beta Agency in Play: One of the greatest problems of an RPG campaign is finding a reasonable motivation for the heroes to stay together. Being part of the Beta¸ even as freelancers¸ can be a good way of getting the party together. For this reason
in the backgrounds of the pre-generated characters below you'll find a subsection titled Recruitment¸ describing how they got involved with the Beta. If you prefer to use the characters without the Beta¸ simply ignore that part.
