After The Flash:
'United States Civilization Preservation Force.'
The USCPF's main goal is to rid the world of mutants through force, and preserve the lifestyle of America as well as maintain the USA's pre-war government.
'Civilian Defense Front.'
The CDF's main goal is to help fellow, unarmed refugees to safety and form a new government.
'Asian Continental Military Force.'
The ACMF's main goal is to stay alive. The ACMF was a strong force before the war, and the ACMF had launched a large-scale coastal invasion on the USA before the nuclear war had struck, but the nuclear strike destroyed the ACMF, leaving most of the soldiers who made it through on the coastal invasion in the wastelands of the USA. They are enemies to everybody simply because they were the reason for the nuclear strike and they're stranded in their enemy's homeland.
'Simple civilians trying to find a new home in the wasteland.'
The Refugees' main goal is to find shelter with CDF, USCPF, or an abandoned shack in the wasteland.
'Genetically mutated cerebral interface virus-human hybrids.'
The Mutants' main goal is to stay alive and take advantage of the nuclear war and civil wars within Humanity, to possibly one day become the new rulers of the planet. Mutants are much less hostile towards each other than Humans.
After The Flash: Osaka
The NJLF were founded at an indeterminate time, as are the next few factions. They are very hostile to the USMC and the RSW, and seek to destroy the mutants as well.
Their base is Camp Nagasaki.
The RSW is a faction set on creating a new Japanese government based on honor. They help everybody in need, except Americans. They are very charismatic.
Their base is.Fort Victory
The USMC was a strong force before the war, and the USMC had launched a full-scale coastal invasion on China before the nuclear war had begun. The war destroyed the United States, and so stranded many soldiers stranded in the wastelands of their very enemies. Everyone hates them for the basic reason that is they demolished their country.
The USMC has a small group of shacks near a crashed UR-22.
A professional baseball team hailing from Hiroshima. Their bus was on the way back to Hiroshima from a game when catastrophe struck. Due to EMP waves, radiation, and nuclear bombs, they have been stranded in Osaka since the beginning of the war.
Their base is a repurposed recreational center.
After The Flash: Sandstorm
United States Civilization Preservation Force. They own the Gullet Bar, Subzone 3, the Metal Refinery, the USCPF Gates, and the Pre-War Coast Guard Base. They're the most well-supplied group of the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the USA. They were formed to help preserve the old US government and help rebuild new towns with heavy security.
Synthetically Engineered Assault League. They don't really own any specific place... yet. Not much is known about this force, which was still in prototype phase before the war abruptly ended.
Civilian Defense Front. They own Dock Town, Subzone 2, The Bank, The Hotel, & the CDF Gates. Although small, they own the largest and most expansive town in the local area. They are scavengers and very good at living off the land. They were formed by civilians; for civilians. They're just normal folk wearing the helmet and have high-grade weapons.
Asian Continental Military Force (Russians, Chinese, Iranians, & Turkish). They own the Pre-War Town Ruins; which was bombed heavily during the raid. They are stranded military operatives from the raid on Florida during the final days of the war in 2032. The USCPF and the ACMF do not take kindly to each other.
Simple travelers. They don't really own any areas, but Subzone 1 is entirely for refugees; no faction owns it. They may choose to live in any area along with another faction. They may also live underground.
These can be either normal refugees that underwent heavy radiation deterioration after the bombs dropped or are now feral and have lost their mind. They own the Pre-War Mutation Experimental Clinic.
After The Flash: Darkness
N/A
After The Flash: Rain
This faction has been around ever since 2033, making it over 60 years old. Over the years, it has helped develop new cities around the war-torn USA and has a constant flow of fresh supplies from well-protected factories in the American midwest and northeast. The USCPF prefers helping only close allies, but is willing to give medical assistance and nourishment to the residents of impoverished areas. It seeks to rebuild the once-great United States of America.
In 2085, the USCPF finished construction of the Masterson Factory. Four years after the USCPF finished construction of the Masterson Factory, it was taken by the Sandsharks and held ransom. The USCPF called in reinforcements and supplies from the mainland inorder to launch an anti-terrorism campaign in Pearl City against all hostile factions, including the Sandsharks. A week before the campaign was about to begin, the CDF took the factory from the Sandsharks. Nobody except the Sandshark and CDF authorities knows whether or not the CDF took it by force, by purchase, or was given the factory. The anti-terrorism campaign was called off by the USCPF in order to avert war against the CDF, although tensions have, as a result, risen. The USCPF reluctantly still buys supplies from the factory, along with CDF citizens and Sandsharks.
As a result of the Atlanta Crisis in 2096, a major conflict over resources and land between the USCPF and CDF in Atlanta, Georgia, the USCPF has now split into two groups. As a whole, the USCPF still operates as usual, however the USCPF in the east is at war with the CDF, while the USCPF in the west is not. Tensions between the USCPF and CDF in the west have yet to escalate to war, although it could happen at any time in one of these two major hotspots: Los Angeles, California, and Pearl City, Hawaii.
This faction has been around since the mid 2030's. Over the years, the CDF has helped millions of civilians find a job and a place to live in the tens of thousands of 'scrap towns' located all over the US. The CDF is less well-supplied, however it has gained access to much more supplies than it had in the previous decades, mostly due to the war in the east. The CDF now has the ability to build cities out of practical materials, not just scraps; a major example being New Atlanta, a large city of concrete and steel which began construction in the late 2070's. The city is located a few miles south of Atlanta, Georgia, and is home to nearly three million Americans. The CDF helps any faction in need, however its supplies aren't great in number. The western CDF mostly buys supplies from the USCPF, which has kept war between the two factions at bay in the west for the past two years. The CDF seeks to form a new, greater nation over the old United States of America.
This faction is a gang of bandits, mercenaries, thugs, and merchants, and only exists in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Sandsharks are responsible for many raids and illegal trades on the black market in Pearl City. The Sandsharks prefer the CDF, however they dislike both the USCPF and CDF.
After The Flash: Deep Winter
The early version of USCPF is formed, whose goals are still to try to bring an end to mutants and restore America. The USCPF often occupy the abandoned military base due to most of the forces in the state likely were stationed there. They are also seen at The Bridge (normally manning the machine gun turrets or crouching behind sandbags atop the bus) and their main base, the GA-84 Powerplant. Their equipment is composed of what they had before the Flash.
The earliest form of the CDF, currently the militia protecting the Den. Their goal is to protect the Den and its citizens from the dangers of the frozen wastes. They are usually found patrolling the Den, and occasionally scavenging on the surface.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a pre-Flash military alliance that combatted the ACMF during a six year war . After the Flash, some remnants remain in the United States. NATO's main goal in Deep Winter is to survive. With the ACMF still around, they may patrol and aid the USCPF.
The Asian Continental Military Force is a pre-flash military force that combatted NATO. After the Flash, ACMF was abandoned in the America, where their now divided goal is to survive. They usually avoid most locations with a large population due to the influx of people who hated them pre-flash and post-flash, Because of this they usually occupy destroyed area's such as the US Fort and sometimes host patrols in the town.
The Synthetically Engineered Assault League is a prototype-phase faction with unknown pre-war origins, due to the small amount of lore being written for them. It is unknown if they were affiliated with the United States Military pre-war because USCPF and SEAL sharing helmet textures are likely unintentional.
There are three existing morphs, the troops, the scouts, and the carriers.
After The Flash: Deep Six
After 2032, many people in the states felt as if the USA was the cause of the apocalypse. The USCPF was not welcome in most parts of the country. As the years went on, people began to realign with the Us and support its goals of reconstruction. It still exists today, but not many are sure how long that'll be true. Nearly 1/3 of the states were taken by the PRT, once it recognized that Brazil was strong enough to help it take them. The USA is an enemy to Brazil now, and is fighting a losing war against millions of people who would like nothing more than for it to be history.
This faction has existed since 2033. During the Atlanta Crisis, the US government saw the utility in having a war-fighting organization and slowly switched the USCPF over to a force capable of waging war. In the late 2090s, the USCPF lost entire states to the CDF. Some veterans of the conflict will tell you they distinctly remember fighting MEB troops. This faction used to distribute rations, safe housing, and security to the people of the US, but now defends its borders from foreign threats. After helping set up a few ports and roads for trade in the Southern states, the CDF, with the support of MEB equipment, began taking the roads, ports, cities, and factories in the south from the USA by force. All that the USA had worked for since 2032 had been taken from it in only the few weeks making up the Atlanta Crisis.
This faction only began existing during the Atlanta Crisis. It wasn't supported by many, but gained traction in the 2100s and is now what most people refer to the seceded Southern states as. This new nation is supported heavily by Brazil. Its capital and biggest city, New Atlanta, lies in Georgia, less than a 3 hour drive from its northern border with the USA. The PRT is allied with Brazil. It was formed by the CDF as a counter-nation to the United States' corruption.
This faction formed in the mid-2030s. Back in those days, during the nuclear winter, many communities gathered together and formed their own organization for survival. The CDF won the most support and absorbed the others as the years went on. The CDF partnered with the USCPF until the 2090s, when it perceived the USA to be a dead-end, greedy nation, only invested in supporting its rich and powerful. With help through trade and military support from the MEB, the CDF took misused resources from the USCPF to be put to good use.
Following the construction of new ports and roads along North America's coasts, Brazil began international trade with the Southern states. After years of trading goods and services, Brazil began trading arms with the CDF; an act seen as imminently hostile to the USA. Ties between the USA and Brazil declined until the Atlanta Crisis in 2096. Brazil still trades arms and goods with the PRT.
The MEB can be found in various places in the states of the PRT. They're often found simply supporting trade and securing resources from bandits and terrorists. They mostly keep away from the frontlines, although some folks claim to have sighted them there from time to time. Not much is known about this faction.
The USA sees them as a nuisance. The PRT sees them as traitors and bandits. Brazil sees them as terrorists. Nobody knows how they see themselves. They own no land, no forts, no flags. Not much is known about this faction.
This faction is the biggest brewer of Dew on the North American east coast. The USA discourages the distribution of Dew, but the PRT and Brazil downright outlaw it. Good money is made from running Dew back and forth between the USA and PRT, however it's a dangerous job and requires stealth and focus.
This faction holds control over a small fleet of cargo ships and is on the forefront of international trade in the new world. They run their operations from Great Britain and are often well-armed to defend their goods and ships from bandits and enemy vessels. They trade directly with the USA, however due to a Brazilian trade embargo, which the PRT does not support, they run their goods through third-party investors to ship and sell their goods to the PRT.
Reuben's Corsairs are a band of pirates that frequent the eastern coastline of the United States. Originating from less civilized parts of the US, the corsairs have plagued costal towns and small trading vessels alike. The Corsairs were drawn to Georgia like so many other factions, looking to make a profit from the impending war. They have as such come into conflict with the RCO over control of the coast. They are not above offering their services as privateers to anyone that is willing to pay for it, regardless of the employers morals. This has lead to hushed rumours of MEB involvement in their arrival.
DECorp plays a significantly smaller role in Deep 6 than in the other games. DECorp mercenaries can be found assisting U.S forces at Fort Shad and the border. They occassionally hang around Whitman Bay with the RCO. It is currently unknown what happened to the DECorp regional offices, but it can be assumed from the condition of the building in Deep Winter that it is now a pile or rubble. On their own, DECorp can be found at the Pre-war power station. DECorp members either will be wearing the DECorp jumpsuit or a U.S Military non-combat uniform. They will usually be equipped with AZTECs and DE50s.
Note: It is unlikely you will encounter a DECorp member on Deep Six due to their small numbers (only a little over 200.)
