Shadow Cartel

The Shadow Cartel was an Authoritarian regime located on Risk Earth in the Unknown Territories near the edge of the Galaxy. They ruled over an empire that eventually controlled the entire landmass of the Risk Earth, before falling to the vastly technologically superior CCE Empire.

The Shadow Cartel started off as a small criminal organization in Mexico, but soon gained influence in South America and gained control of most of Latin America before taking North America from the Canadians. From their massive capital of Mexico City, they began constructing a massive military only rivaled by the Legion of the Sun, and heavily fortified their Atlantic routes in Brazil and Greenland to the Legion's holdings in Iceland and Northern Africa.

By the time of Harvey's rebirth in Seattle, the Cartel had won a massive war in the North Atlantic, taking over Iceland and continuing on to take most of Northern Europe in a bloodshed that killed an estimated 1 Billion soldiers and civilians. After this battle, the Cartel began slowly taking over the Legion's territory, moving towards their massively fortified capital of Madagascar. This series of battles was sped up by the Cartel's reverse engineered tech stolen from the Eastern Alliance after their territory was conquered.

After the Eastern Alliance ship passing by a CCE Outpost raised suspicion in the company's upper ranks, the Executives of CCE visited Risk Earth to investigate. They landed near Cartel Territory in Mexico City, and made an agreement with the Shadow Cartel President to let the company do research on Risk Earth in exchange for help in the war. CCE forces destroyed Madagascar and it's surrounding area's, completely destroying the Legion of the Sun.

Their victory was short lived, however, as the CCE forces took control of larger and larger sections of the earth, before eventually destroying the Cartel.
