What was once used to destroy the lives of millions is now the force that the rest of the world survives on. Synergy is siphoned from the Republic City Plant and fed into the city miles away. Once it's safe within the walls, it's stored in a facility situated in outer ring and further processed into the form of power that is recognized today. It's used in many everyday applications. Everything from the engine under the hood of the average Satomobile to the batteries in a remote utilize some form of the energy. Weapons, fuel, enhanced computer systems and AI. The development of much of their more modern technology is thanks in part to advances in the field. However there are drawbacks, information on which is buried by the Republic. Of note, Spirit Energy is after all a living thing. An entity that changes everything it comes in contact with, or more specifically, everyone.

The later is rare and is only distributed among those Republic troops stationed in the inmost wall or some special security forces. Synergy weapons fire a charged "plasma" ball of spirit energy capable of melting through metal and leaving behind holes the size of a tennis ball. At greater distances, each ball of energy falls under the same gravitational effect that is exerted on bullets. Although significantly lighter, each round will eventually begin to fall until it comes in contact with the ground. This range varies from weapon to weapon as there are a number of variations available.

Besides providing the obvious high, the trafficking scene is a very lucrative one providing those stricken with a life of poverty a means to claw their way to riches.
