A blanket term for dissident movements within the Vuurstahl Empire, the Unemployed are called such due to dissidents voluntarily abandoning their jobs in defiance of their Assignment. Such dereliction of imperial duty is illegal, and the Unemployed are often forced into hiding to avoid capture by Asset Protection Services. Despite the Empire's often brutal responses, Unemployed demonstrations are not an uncommon sight in the streets of Vuurstahl, fighting for a future where the nation serves its people, instead of the other way around.
