With availability to an abundance of raw materials, they manufacture their own weapons and armor to equip their work force, which come in a variety of roles. They are an industrial work force founded by a man known as Colonel Finneas, and that currently work under The Sheriff within Nexus City's ruined Industrial Sector as a group of survivors of the events of Madness: Project Nexus (Classic)'s Episode 1.5). The Matter Energy Reclamation Corporation (MERC) is a faction featured in MADNESS: Project Nexus. Intel find that while their units fall into archetypical roles, the results they produce are nothing to dismiss. They possess the ability to traverse the city's Great Walls with greater ease than even the A.A.H.W., and their swollen numbers lend to a brutal, versatile force that is to be reckoned with. The incident at the Nexus core, however, allowed their opportunistic leaders to seize the weapons and means to train their units, as well as expand their ranks to such a degree that they present a substantial threat. The MERC faction, a rag-tag, barely functional group that roamed Nevada, constantly on the cusp of being completely obliterated.
