History: In the 1970s, an oil crisis puts the United States on the verge of an economic breakdown and a Middle Eastern oil consortium, the Oil Monopoly Allaince Regime (OMAR) was doing what they could to take advantage of this chance to monopolize the world oil trade. They just needed to sabotage what was left of the U.S. economy to make sure they couldn't recover. To this end, OMAR hired the infamous terrorist Sid Burn to push the U.s. economy over the edge.
At this time, Gus "Boogie" Tredwell was a notorious bank robber in California. After his last big heist in LA, he drove out to a remote hideout in the desert to lay low. Sid Burn heard about his accomplishments and tracked him down to his hideout. He offered Boogie a cut of the fortune he would be paid from OMAR if he would join his group, the Coyotes, to take down the American economy. Seeing this as the opportuinty for a big score, he agreed and joined the group.
With stolen military weapons and technology, the Coyotes attacked oil refineries, commercial installations, and other vital industries throughout the country. However, it was only a matter of time before someone confronted them. A group of civilians wanting to put an end to the destruction armed themselves and formed their own counter-terrorism group known as the Vigilantes. This new group soon became the biggest hinderance to Sid and the Coyotes.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government as a result of these attacks, began to develop new military weaponry, some of which was said to be based on alien technology. After Sid heard about the new weapons, the Coyotes drove out to Site-4 in Papoose Lake, New Mexico, where they had an unexpected run-in with the Vigilantes. The resulting battle ended with both groups possessing the most advanced weaponry on the planet.
Other: Boogie's car also has a casette player with several tapes of hit disco songs.
