The RP takes place a year after the events of X3. Professor Xavier remains dead to the mutant world, leaving Ororo Munroe in charge of the Institute and the X-Men. Emma Frost has joined forces with them to help the new students. Magneto has regained his powers and has begun construction of Genosha, the mutant paradise he dreams of.
The government has grown more frightened of the growing population of mutants, resorting to forming the Mutant Response Division, the dreaded MRD. The force serves to round up 'dangerous' mutants and bring them back to a private government facility in an unknown location, for both experimentation and security.
There have recently been random attacks on the MRD by mutants unassociated with either the X-Men or the Brotherhood. They appear to be acting on their own, but only time will tell if these vigilantes band together to create a new team opposing the military.
