    what is the actual status of the UB after 2055?

    They don’t exist anymore. After the Bug City breakout, the UB was
    quickly shut down and largely exterminated by governments the world
    over. The only offshoot I know that survives is the Secret Hive, that
    (spoiler … 18 years after the fact so I’m not going to bother with
    whitespace :) turns General Yeats into a perfect-meld wasp spirit and
    has him run for UCAS president — and then gets exterminated by Anne
    Penchyk’s mantid friends of the Empowerment Coalition.

    Are they generally known to be basically bug hives, or would
    there be areas of the world where this information never really was
    taken serious?

    Most of what I’ve read seems indicate that after the UB got exposed,
    the world got wise to insect spirits in general and you’d have to do
    your best to find people in power who don’t believe they exist.

    Hey guys,

    what is the actual status of the UB after 2055? (my game is set in the
    2070s) I guess they largely have been dealt with, on the other hand
    cults tend to have some staying power, and so there might be some
    holdouts. Are they generally known to be basically bug hives, or would
    there be areas of the world where this information never really was
    taken serious?

    Just wondering about a scenario like that, at least a few of my players
    have played SR Returns and know what the UB is.
