About The Authority

Securing Our Tomorrow, Today

Our Mission

The Authority Department of Border Management is responsible for maintaining secure passage between protected safe zones and monitoring transit through hazardous territories. Since the establishment of the protected zone network in 2042, we have processed over 2.1 million border crossings while maintaining the highest standards of security and traveler safety.

History

Following the environmental collapse of 2041, surviving population centers consolidated into five major protected zones. The Authority was established in 2042 to:

• Regulate movement between safe zones
• Verify traveler identity and documentation
• Prevent unauthorized entry to protected territories
• Monitor and secure critical supply routes
• Maintain census records of all residents
