Yeah, currently the setting is a world building exercise- any bosses the party has encountered are either scouting parties to throw off the establishment of the European Hub and give the competitors a leg up over the party (something I do through a world resource tally that the players can use to build on to the Hub and monitor in game through television and the internet), or a retaliation for trespasses made by the party.
They're all fans of anime so this is really the prologue/beginning of "season 1". Eventually, when they have a feel for the setting; the difficulty will be ramped up and eventually, these hubs may have to work together to defeat a common enemy- what/who that is remains to be seen (they don't know it, but it will be a controller type scenario).
Thanks for the posts- gave a much needed dose of happy this morning (the significant other departed for an extended business trip yesterday )
In short, the marauder teams they may fight are in the same boat they're in - just guys trying to do a job professionally, and may not necessarily have any ill intent. That could be good material for NPC development right there
