In Cybermania, neo-sams are a class of cybernetically enhanced Nishoku'no samurai, who were supposed to follow a strict code of honor to protect the people. The neo-sam program was established as Nishoku's own solution to the United Federation's Neo-Knights program. However, only wealthy families-- some of whom having ties to the criminal underworld-- could afford to join the program, and they only did so for economic and territorial power. The program was considered a failure and officially abandoned, but Nishoku found itself in constant multi-sided conflicts between various neo-sam families who seek total control of the country.
Neo-sams are outlawed in Nishoku and those who continue to practice it are considered high-level maniacs of organized crime. However, due to their advanced training and combat skills, it is virtually impossible for Nishoku police to detain the criminals without the military getting involved.
