ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Over the last few weeks, a group of Rikers have managed to gain a foothold in the eastern Manhattan neighborhood of Murray Hill. The former inmates took advantage of law enforcement's hurried retreat from the area and have established a base of operations from which they can put their boots on the locals' necks. Their aim from this bastion is simple: attract new recruits and expand their control to the whole island. Every day, well-escorted medical convoys leave the Agents’ operating base in Kips Bay to try and help civilians. The JTF (Joint Task Force) volunteers who man these convoys play a crucial role in the public’s odds of surviving the battle against Green Poison, but their work been made harder by the Rikers’ recent arrival; they’re constantly raiding and scavenging for anything that might help their campaign to control eastern Manhattan. Injuries are skyrocketing as these former prisoners plot an attack to strip the remaining civilians of their protectors once and for all. As newly-activated Division Agents, you have been assigned to the Kips Bay area as additional protection against the growing threat the Rikers pose.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Set in the world of Tom Clancy’s The Division, the game allows you to play one of the Agents recently activated through Directive 51. A deadly engineered pathogen known as Green Poison sweeps across the United States and the world, crippling institutions and plunging cities into chaos. As essential services fail, hostile factions rise to seize control of the streets. With fear spreading faster than the virus itself, society stands on the brink of collapse, struggling to survive in a world coming apart. In the heart of darkness, a beacon ignites. Under a top-secret directive, The Division—a classified unit of sleeper agents embedded across the country—awakens to face the crisis. Equipped with advanced technology and trained for autonomous action, they must reclaim lost ground, rebuild shattered communities, and restore order—street by street, block by block.
