The **Iconoclasts** are a group of survivalists living in the ruins of Amber Heights on Monarch. They hope to one day tear down the corporate establishment that they believe has brought the colony to the brink of death.

## Background

The Iconoclasts are a group of idealistic revolutionaries that seek to overthrow the corporate establishment that runs the Halcyon Colony. Based in the ruins of the Amber Heights settlement on Monarch, they are a tenacious group, and share some democratic ideals with Monarch Stellar Industries (MSI) against the more repressive actions of the Board. However, the Iconoclast's anti-corporate nature has put them at odds with MSI, a dispute that threatens to spill into all-out warfare. Given that the Iconoclasts are mostly followers of the Philosophist faith, they have been blacklisted and demonized by the Board as dissenters and anarchists.

## Structure

The group is led by Graham Bryant, a staunch Philosophist. Zora Blackwood, the Iconoclasts' chief of medicine, is also considered a de facto leader of the group, as she was alongside Graham when he founded the Iconoclasts, and almost every member of the Iconoclasts owes her their life in some way.

## Relations with others

### Monarch Stellar Industries

The Iconoclasts maintain a tense relationship with MSI. Despite sharing democratic values and a common desire towards egalitarianism for the people of Monarch and the wider Halcyon colony, MSI's "egalitarian corporate structure" has proven to be at odds with some of the Iconoclasts' more radical, anti-capitalist views. Depending on the actions of the Stranger, this tense relationship can either be resolved, or can spill into a drawn-out and bloody war.

### The Board

The Board considers the Iconoclasts to be dissenters and anarchists dedicated to overthrowing their vision of a corporate-led society in Halcyon. As such, The Board often demonizes the Iconoclasts and their Philosophist beliefs in official propaganda.

## Player Interactions

The Stranger meets the Iconoclasts in Amber Heights just as the tension between them and MSI is reaching boiling point. They can either side with the Iconoclasts and assist them in storming and taking over Stellar Bay, "solve" the Iconoclast problem for Stellar Bay, or broker peace between the two factions.

The Stranger can also have an impact on the leadership of the Iconoclasts - siding with either Graham Bryant or Zora Blackwood. To supplant Graham with Zora, evidence of Graham's involvement in the Amber Heights massacre must be found and presented to Zora.
