The Factions

There are many factions you may chose to join in Desolation. The run of the mill irradiated human element -- leftover biker gangs, rabid survivalists, crazed religious zealots -- you get the idea.

Note: The factions themselves are still being heavily developed in game. As they get more defined, we will write descriptions for them, and link them to the page.
 
[AIM]
 Association of Irradiated Mercenaries   [BAD]

 Badland Originals

  Leader:

 Rynthas     Leader: Krogg (?)

  HQ:

 AIM Underground Base     HQ: Ground Zero

  Elite:

 BlackOps     Elite: The Pit Snakes

  Background: The Association of Irradiated Mercenaries (AIM) is committed to bringing the most bang for your buck when it comes to your mercenary needs. Demanding high rates, as well as delivering the goods on time. AIM prides itself as the best mercenary organization in New Nevada. They were formed by a small group of freelance mercenaries, who built a base in a cavern in a mountain range near Quartz with equipment that was found/stolen from various organizations that litter the wastes. Although the Desert Rangers have set up an outpost at the entrance to the caverns that lead to their base, they have managed to work out a pact with the Ranger Outpost, where they do the odd job for them, in exchange for their secrecy.

    Background: The Badland Originals are a rather large gang of vicious punks. They were formed when Devil united four of the first raider clans in the wasteland under his rule. Unlike most gangs, the Badland Originals are semi-mercenary. If you were to offer a pack of them money to kill somebody, break into something, or blow something up, there's a good chance you'll get a job done. There's also a good chance you'll be riddled full of SMG fire for annoying them. The gang operates off in a secluded military base somewhere in the wasteland. Most people who go there aren't known for coming back alive.

frontier justice to the ragtag townships. The Desert Rangers were originally
derived from prewar United States Army Corps of Engineers. They are currently
governed by an internal council.

 Sindikat Compound

  Elite:

  

  Background: Group of mobster like people calling themselves 'The Syndicate'. Using the Russian term for it. They operate from a large apartment complex in a small town renamed 'Aequitas' at some point in the past. Their interests are everything that would gain wealth. Drug trade, gun running, gambling, prostitution, slavery, etc. They are well known for being ruthless and violent if needed, but also uphold a sense of strange honor. The members are to uphold various codes of conduct, punishable by death if broken. Though it's not uncommon for a member having to pay his/her way back in their favor if he has dishonored them and himself.
