	The Konyanger Major League is dominated by teams from the planet’s major cities such as Suwon and New Hong Kong, with the most prominent players of these teams becoming celebrities in their own right. The major teams of Konyang bring in billions of credits and are vital parts of their cities, with local notables vying to own one and city officials fighting to have stadiums built in their districts. Organized crime groups, such as 5-Cheung and the Benevolent Guild, are known to take their cuts too, “helping” businesses secure contracts for the teams and their stadiums, then funneling their cut of the money back into their illicit operations.

	One of the only synthetic-exclusive sports leagues in the modern Spur, the Konyang Major League (synthetic) falls under a unique series of rules. Synthetics must, by league rules, be free and have at least Konyang residency, and most members come from Konyang. Synthetics are allowed to self-modify but must, per league rules, not use “performance enhancing” augments such as ballistic computers or leg actuators. One exception is for after-market heat-sinks used by shells, who would otherwise suffer from heat circulation issues rendering them unable to play. These rules were recently tested by Suwon Sea Bandit team captain Iseul-52, a shell IPC who replaced her legs with Zeng-Hu frame equivalents. After a two month investigation it was deemed an illegal modification. Teams can place any synthetic into any position, but lighter frames — baselines, Zeng-Hu frames, and so on — tend to be outfielders, with heavier units such as industrials serving as pitchers and basemen. Shells are often the “face” of the teams, serving as team captains and floating between the other rules. Only the Boryeong Shelfers go against this shells-as-captains trend, with G2 industrial Myung “Sonny” Sun serving as their team captain.

Sports have been a pastime of countless Konyangers since the planet's colonization, with many of the sports now enjoyed being brought from Earth during its initial founding, often with little to no adaptation. The most popular sports vary from prefecture to prefecture, with football, basketball, and baseball as the most common. Volleyball ekes out a close fourth place, though many more sports are played on the planet.

	Characteristic of the planet's stance towards synthetics, most sports have both IPC and human leagues. Synthetic sports originally started out as a gimmick during the initial development of IPCs - a publicity stunt and way for up-and-coming designers to prove the dexterity of new chassis and responsiveness of new brains. After a friendly challenge between a Zeng-Hu and Terraneus design team during the early days of synthetic development, IPC sports became a common facet of Konyanger life, with leagues seeing the opportunity to create matches that pushed the games to their limits and while celebrating the planet's accomplishments. ~~Presently~~, ~~a major debate rocking~~ most IPC sports leagues is the ~~presence~~ of ~~self~~-~~modification~~, with ~~proponents arguing that~~ .		Characteristic of the planet's stance towards synthetics, most sports have both IPC and human leagues. Synthetic sports originally started out as a gimmick during the initial development of IPCs - a publicity stunt and way for up-and-coming designers to prove the dexterity of new chassis and responsiveness of new brains. After a friendly challenge between a Zeng-Hu and Terraneus design team during the early days of synthetic development, IPC sports became a common facet of Konyanger life, with leagues seeing the opportunity to create matches that pushed the games to their limits and while celebrating the planet's accomplishments. Since their founding, most IPC sports leagues have grappled on whether or not to limit the scope of modifications that a frame can carry. Proponents of unrestricted modification argue that the leagues were founded as a contest of engineering as opposed to the skills of individual players, while opponents have countered that such a practice would turn the games into a 'pay-to-win' affair, with entire tournaments decided by the team with the deepest purse. Presently, both schools of thought can be seen across various sports leagues, with each take different views on the matter.

	IPCs themselves		IPCs themselves are more often spectators than players of sports, as both the physical advantage that many frames enjoy over a human, alongside the regular wear-and-tear that constant physical activity exerts on a frame render casual games an occasionally costly proposition. On the other hand, professional IPC athletes proudly wear their legacy of being on the cutting edge of chassis design, with many of them often sporting bespoke modifications that allow them to gain the edge on the field. This trend shows no sign of slowing down, even after Konyanger independence, although with IPCs seeking contracts with teams to finance their sports-grade frames as opposed to being commissioned outright by the teams themselves.

			Despite repeated efforts by government ministries to create a new national sport to serve as another symbol of Konyang, ranging from football in freshwater swamps to boat racing among mariners, and more, none of these attempts have managed to surpass the universal acclaim and popularity of old Earth sports. One controversial sport has remained, however: botfighting. Sparring between IPCs is often broadcasted even off-planet and maintains a loyal following among Konyangers who see it as a natural extension of various martial arts and combat sports present throughout the Spur. The sport has a checkered past with several failed attempts in the parliament to ban the practice, citing that IPC contestants were forced to fight before general emancipation. Although safeguards were present even during the initial days of botfighting in order to comply with self-preservation directives, regulations passed since then have made the present sport far safer than its inception, much to the derision of older fans.

	In many cases, local governments and businesses as well as private owners maintained firm control over their synthetics, with business remaining as usual. The resulting chaos however meant that many more IPCs fell under the sway of warlord factions seeking to turn them to their own ends or simply took the opportunity to flee towards the galactic east, hoping to reach safe harbor in either the Republic of Biesel or the Coalition of Colonies. The status of IPCs in the Wildlands remains a subject of great interest among observers, as it is the site of some of the largest mass seizures as well as external migrations of synthetics in human history.

For an IPC in the Wildlands, continued survival was uncertain, and whether they chose to flee or stay, they had to contend with the cruel and unforgiving nature of the region. This page details the struggles an IPC would face, depending on what region of the Wildlands they were in.

	'Refugees'		==Refugees==

	As a result of the general lawlessness and collapse of central authority that came with the onset of the Human Wildlands, many IPCs found themselves suddenly without a master, abandoned in the chaos, or in the most extreme cases, seeking to preserve themselves by escaping on their own and attaining freedom. Fleeing in this manner is generally considered a risky proposition because of Sol’s attitude towards IPCs, and in fact, Alliance authorities shun the use of the word “refugees”, instead preferring to call these free IPCs terms such as “contraband” or “unowned IPCs”. These refugees have made a mark on the Spur, with ships full of IPCs seeking a better life in the galactic east being a common sight as the situation in the Wildlands destabilized.

	'The Solarian Restoration Front'		==The Solarian Restoration Front==

	With a thriving industrial sector and shipbuilding industry on its capital world of Lycoris and an abundance of wealth on its moon Lycoris Minor, a significant number of IPCs found themselves in the grip of the Solarian Restoration Front. Seeing enemies in every shadow, the potential for a base of unflinchingly loyal workers was too good to pass up and the SRF eagerly snatched up IPCs from businesses and private citizens, throwing them back into the Front’s industry or using them as unquestioning enforcers to maintain order. Although IPCs are occasionally added to combat units every now and then to pad their numbers, the idea of armed synthetics remains highly unpopular among the Front’s rank-and-file.

	With many IPCs starting to question whether or not self-preservation can truly be achieved under the SRF’s increasingly self-destructive directives, the SRF has had to act increasingly on their threats. In order to maintain order, the Lycoris Method has been applied with increasing severity. This has led to a vicious cycle where SRF IPCs are punished and wiped for the most trivial offenses, leading to an overall reduction in efficiency for the rest of the workforce. Many within the SRF know that despite the best efforts of their programmers, they have pushed their IPCs too far, and if their system of repression ever crumbles their will be a bloody reckoning at the plasteel hands of their synthetic workforce.

	'League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems'		==League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems==

	Upon the declaration of the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems, countless megacorporate installations throughout the Northern Wildlands were seized or otherwise abandoned, and with them, millions of IPCs. Although many casual observers praise or vilify this as one of the largest displays of IPC emancipation from corporate servitude, the actual situation was not nearly as rosy or clear-cut. Disagreements immediately flared up on how to deal with the sudden asset that had landed at their door, with the civilian faction of the League proposing that the IPCs be used for crucial repairs on the failing infrastructure in the Northern Wildlands, while the military faction countered, suggesting that the IPCs represented a new source of manpower in the inevitable liberation of the region from corporate interests.

	Ultimately, the League's stance on IPCs is as disunited as the systems that comprise it, though the one point they have settled on is that megacorporations cannot be allowed to have a tool as versatile as positronics. This point however is becoming increasingly moot as many of the League's IPCs are slowly succumbing to a lack of maintenance, ironically, supplied by the same megacorporations they were taken from.

	'Middle Ring Shield Pact'		==Middle Ring Shield Pact==

	Perhaps the most visible user of IPCs in the Human Wildlands is the Middle Ring Shield Pact. Due to their strategically placed warp-gates, most refugees attempting to escape to the safety of the Inner Colonies, or out of the Alliance altogether, are forced to pass through its capital of San Colette. While it was business as usual for the IPCs already within the Middle Ring Shield Pact, it was a much different story for refugees. If an arriving IPC could not be identified as the personal property of a human refugee, or worse still, was escaping on its own, it was subject to immediate conscription into San Colette’s Guardia Civil. In exchange for two years of military service, IPCs were promised transport out of the Alliance towards a state with a friendlier stance towards synthetics.

	With the SRF turned back and San Colette linking up with the rest of the Alliance, discontent among the IPC conscripts of the Guardia Civil has begun to simmer, with some questioning whether or not the Shield Pact will fulfill its promise of freedom. Whatever the future holds for the Shield Pact’s IPCs though, their story has already been immortalized on the fields of San Colette, where tens of thousands of synthetics fought for a brighter future and paid the ultimate price.

	'Southern Solarian Military District'		==Southern Solarian Military District==

	Although the Southern Solarian Military District nationalized many corporate holdings, for the synthetics within these seized properties, it remains business as usual, oftentimes with only a hastily-stenciled SSMD insignia to denote the IPCs’ new ownership. The socialist heritage of Visegrad’s economy meant that very few IPCs were owned by private individuals, with the majority of them being heavily documented, allowing for a relatively orderly and thorough seizure of property. IPCs have since been reallocated to work in industry, or to bolster the SSMD navy’s numbers, following pre-Collapse Solarian doctrine wherein synthetics would be leveraged in support or logistics, rather than combat roles.

	'Solarian Provisional Government'		==Solarian Provisional Government==

	As one of the factions struggling to maintain some semblance of normalcy in the Southern Wildlands, IPCs in the Solarian Provisional Government experience a routine resembling the pre-collapse Alliance more than any other warlord state. Like Sol proper, the SPG maintains the view that IPCs are useful tools and nothing more, and has seen fit not to alter a system that has worked for so long. In the cities and orbital dockyards of Sankt Frederick, IPCs are still bought and sold by private individuals, civil and military organizations, and megacorporations.

	'Free Solarian Fleets'		==Free Solarian Fleets==

	Everything for the Free Solarian Fleets is a matter of money and IPCs are no exception. The breakdown of discipline across the FSF has resulted in the treatment of IPCs being delegated to individual captains and crew and in perhaps one of the strangest turns for an already strange battlegroup, many of the group’s IPCs have willingly picked up the cause of their mercenary brethren for a chance at winning their own freedom.

	'Southern Fleet Administration'		==Southern Fleet Administration==

	Being composed of the relatively under-funded Tenth Middle Ring Battlegroup, IPCs were a rare sight even before the Southern Fleet Administration’s formation, only present on the larger vessels of the fleet. Such a decision was not without merit, as the fleet’s crews were made up of prisoners, conscripts, and washouts who the Navy’s high command deemed incapable of maintaining such expensive machinery and unworthy of such an investment, with one admiral remarking that he’d “sooner trust a Gadpathurian than a Tenth Fleet sailor.” These concerns proved to be founded as shortly after the SFA broke away from the Solarian government, many of their IPCs fell out of repair due to lack of maintenance, sold by their crews, or were simply destroyed on the suspicion that they would attempt to return the ships to Solarian service. The defeat of the SFA at the hands of the Nralakk Federation proved to be the last gasp of their IPCs, with any positronic being destroyed on sight by the famously anti-synthetic Skrell. Information on any remaining SFA IPCs is sparse due to the virtual collapse of the warlord state.
