Nile Empire

The Nile Empire is a world of Pulp heroes and high drama. Gangsters run the streets of Cairo, but the Empire is ruled by Pharaoh Mobius. His legions of stormtroopers are supported by the priests of the newly arisen Egyptian religion. The only thing that stands against these villainous are the heroic Rocket Rangers and the group of heroes know as the Mystery Men, lead by Dr Alexus Frest.
