The world of Caliber takes place in the 21st century; a world inspired by anime like Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, Black Magic M66, Orion, Akira, and films like Bladerunner, Interview with a Vampire, Blade 2 and from collections of work like Creature Core and Intron Depot. This is a world of three distinct factions that are engaged in a war of revenge, survival, and power. House Vamin, the first faction, is a high tech vampire race who relies on heavy armor and powerful weapons to destroy their enemies. Due to their superior negotiation skills, House Vamin has created treaties with the most powerful and advanced sectors of human society to aid in their quest of develop their high tech equipment. The second faction, Domus Absentis is also a vampire race, but instead of forming a pact with their hated enemies, humanity, the Absentis have consequently stuck to the shadows and developed weapons of a more... biological nature. Little is known about the final faction, a group known as "The
Stealthy, fast, and armed with a giant blade, the
lvl 1 Absentis is one of the most intimidating
characters in the game.

To people still interested in the mod, these are the facts.
Sometime in October, the Caliber site and its forums closed down... shortly thereafter, NSArmslab also folded and nobody could be contacted. Most of us are not entirely sure what went wrong, but what we do know is that the admins were having some troubles with the site before the collapse and they obviously couldn't be fixed in time. Since then a member of the old site-forums, Renegade, has taken over the domain and is trying to re-ignite the NSA community - I suggest anybody wanting to help bring it back should pay them a visit and see how you can contribute.
Now I'll talk about the mod. As some of you may know, we came to the decision that "SOURCE" simply didn't provide the features necessary to complete the project, so we decided to explore other engines ("Unreal Engine 3" being the primary candidtate). A couple of us were also talking about some other, possibly "lucrative" stuff with Gary that I can't discuss right now. Then, for whatever reason... the site terminated a few weeks later.
At the moment some of us are still trying to reach Gary or the other team-admins, but we don't know anything at the moment. Until the site is restored, however, we recommend that fans check back here regularly.
