THE ALUMNI

• FRIENDLY

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

A group of scientists, intellectuals and tech hoarders holed up within the Lake Erie Institute of Technology and Research campus. A mutual love of technology and their openness to working with the Skulls has made them fast friends, as long as they don't try expanding past the campus. A proposed deal would have the Chromeskulls doing dirty work for them in exchange for weaponry and tech, but nothing yet has come of it.

THE COALITION-EAST/GLA

• ANTAGONIZED

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

What was once a powerful string of interconnected nation states has now been withered after the Coalition split and began fighting itself. Alongside the NEU, the Coalition is seen as one of the largest threats to the Chromeskulls ideology, and their plans for the islands. Following a Chemic owned Ice and Sap lab being shot up by GLA forces, the groups have kept at an arms length from one another.

NORTHEASTERN UNION/USRF

• ANTAGONIZED

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

A nation of incredible power that has united most of northeastern America, taking after the old world government. An expeditionary force of soldiers have taken refuge within the Black Mountain Complex Bunker and attempts have been made to civilize the islands, specifically with their Frontiersman Program. The Chromeskin movement has been suppressed and abused all throughout the NEU, leading them to be seen as natural opposites. The Skulls have fought them in varying proxy conflicts, and more recently, subjugated a Frontiersman town within Sunrise City.

MIDWESTERN UNION/NMA

• COLD

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

The Midwestern Union formed during the immediate collapse of The Great Lakes Coalition, a regiment of troops has arrived to the Islands to subjugate Bargetown. The Chromeskulls view them in a poor light, but due to their antagonization of the Midwestern Union, have relented from staring any sort of conflict with them. As the saying goes, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.

SOUTHPOINT STATE

• VILIFIED

  • ROE: Chromeskulls captured by Southpoint are automatically subject to compound conversion and set free back to their crew. In certain cases, however, they may be forced into the Work Battalion/Crucible system. See the travel guide for more details.

A mutant supremacist group based on the most southern point of the Islands, past the Deadlands. The Chromeskulls and Southpoint State have found themselves against each other numerous times and are currently in open conflict with one another. With their newfound occupation of Southern Sunrise City, only time will tell how their relationships develop.

Les Voyageurs

• ALLIED ↹ 

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

Northern pirates and marauders bound together under one crew who came to the Islands in search of riches and paradise to make home. Their nationalist pride puts them at odds with almost every other nation on the map, and their anarchist views allowed the Chromeskulls and Voyageurs to become fast friends. Over the wintertide, both groups grew closer, cementing our relationship as allies to one another against the cog filth that pollutes the islands. 

ALMA'S WAY

• VILIFIED ⚔ 

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

A hivemind of droids and coven of cultists that worship a mysterious AI God known only as ALMA. They intend to build and empire to its greatness, which left most Chromeskulls uneasy and standoffish to them prior to any conflict. Recent circumstances have lead the two groups to become hateful against each other, the group hacking into our intranet and trying to capture our territories. With their conflicting grand designs now coming to a head, is Sunrise truly a big enough city for two?

THE ARCHITECTS

• VILIFIED ⚔

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

Descendants of incredibly powerful people that once controlled the United States from behind the curtains, now trying to survive what the Wasteland throws at them and bring about new tidings. Their enigmatic and secretive organization has not given the Chromeskulls much to go off aside from the looks; these looks, mostly suits, ties, and paramilitary-esque being armaments, something the Skulls do not like. After a recent attack on a Skull safehouse, we are now at war with the Architects.

THE UNIMATA

• ANTAGONIZED

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

An equal rights for all society that intends to create a utopia for droids and other oppressed peoples, based within the mudlands of the North Island. In a conflict where the Unimata were on one side and the Chromeskulls the other, a disdain grew for them, leading to a separate warfront soon after. Only recently has it died down, but both groups have left a bad taste in each other's mouth.

SHILOH POSSE

• NEUTRAL/WARM 

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

A group of deserters primarily from the Southern Union who made their way to the Sunrise Islands to escape bounty hunters on their trail. The Chromeskulls have engaged them numerous times since their arrival, leading to a very violent history between the groups. A peace was made between the groups, with an opportunity for business to be done in the future.

MANY MEN

• ANTAGONIZED ⚔

  • ROE: NOT APPLICABLE

A secretive thieves guild of the downtrodden and drug addled who came to the islands with death on their heels. On the islands they intend to steal everything they deserve back, and to give it to all those who need it across the islands. The Chromeskulls and Many Men have fought each other in numerous brawls and fist fights, leaving the Skulls angry and paranoid about most homeless people on the islands, as they do not yet know this groups name.

These isles aren't big enough for the two of us, of course.

RELISTAR INDUSTRIES

• VILIFIED ⚔

  • ROE: Shoot on sight.

The USRF's unofficial lapdogs, RELISTAR Industries is a corporate conglomerate hailing from the Northeastern Union. Over half of NEU imports are produced by RELISTAR, and that funding shows in their equipment and mercenary nature in Sunrise. 

Primarily comprised of the Asset Protection Division (APD) and Corporate Interest Division (CID), RELISTAR have their own "Boosters" and "Cybres." Both have warred with the Chromeskulls for years now, with their new Direct Intervention Unit (DIU) being sic'd on us. Formerly driven out from the isles, the group has been making a resurgence; their current target...us.

THE BLOODHOUNDS

• ANTAGONIZED ⚔

  • ROE: Shoot on sight.

The long-lost sister branch of the Chromeskulls, from a bygone era.

The Bloodhounds are the malignant remnants of the Night of Lead and Steel. The Bloodhounds and Chromeskulls, while similar in many aspects, differ greatly and make it known.

Both gangs are at each others' throats following a sudden skirmish that triggered a street war among the two factions, leading to a revitalization of mutual hatred.

SIGIL CARNE

• NEUTRALIZED

  • ERADICATED - REMNANTS SCATTERED. NO LONGER POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT

A former flesh cult that practiced in a similar fashion to Southpoint State, harnessing eldritch and flesh for their own goals in a twisted antithesis to the Chromeskulls.

As the red text above would indicate, they have since been eradicated from the isles.
