Sons of Salt Lake

The Sons of Salt Lake are a loosely organized faction of bikers originating in Salt Lake City, and officially being formed in 1989, the Sons of Salt Lake follow a very loose faith in Mormonism, though despite them not being very strict over their Mormon beliefs, they are one of if not the only factions in the post-war era who still follow Mormonism.

==Background==
===History===
The Sons of Salt Lake have a very small yet concentrated set of territorial holdings, it primarily being along the Interstate 80 highway, their influence being most concentrated in Salt Lake City, though stretches all the way out to Cheyenne, Wyoming, as well as Reno, Nevada, their headquarters being in Salt Lake City International Airport, as it has plenty of space for storage, as well as plenty of fuel for their bikes, and on top of that, easy access to the Interstate 80 highway.
===The Sons of Salt Lake===
In 1991 they had managed to gain control over a small settlement known as Sierra-Reno, in what was once the city of Reno, Nevada, and had held a sort of gang-like presence there ever since, collecting "tributes" as a means of taxation in the form of fuel or clean water from the people of Sierra-Reno. 
In 1992 the people of Sierra-Reno attempted to revolt from the Sons of Salt Lake, withholding tribute as well as firing upon the biker's in the event known as the Reno Problem, which lasted a total of 3 months, and ending in the resistance's collapse under increased presence of the Sons of Salt Lake, after that Sierra-Reno's required tribute was raised and the poverty in the settlement grew, despite the settlement still being a trading hub between the Mojave desert and California wasteland, the residents up until 1994 remained in deep poverty. 
Though in 1994, the Sons of Salt Lake began to become aware of EO, as EO's mass expansion throughout the bay area and the formation of the Bay California Caravan had caused a large amount of the fuel industry to become monopolized by EO, and soon enough, EO had come for Sierra-Reno, and the trade potential that came with it.
===The Battle of Sierra Reno and Aftermath===
In March of 1994, E2's forces had began encroaching upon Sierra-Reno, Sons of Salt Lake bikers that had been in the California section of the Interstate 80 highway had caught wind of this and had quickly informed higher ranks of their chapter, in response the Sons of Salt Lake would send a huge convoy of over 1,200 bikers across the Interstate 80 from Salt Lake City all the way to Sierra-Reno, where they prepared for the impending attack, the following month, E2's forces of around 3,000 riflemen had arrived in Sierra-Reno to then be met with a surprisingly prepared defensive force. 
Before the order to attack the settlement was given the existence of the Sons of Salt Lake was completely unknown to EO, simply thinking that Sierra-Reno was a single sovereign settlement rather than one apart of a greater faction, though it didn't seem to matter too much as the unorganized bikers were out numbered and outgunned by the EO forces, who were able to inflict over 300 casualties to the bikers before they began to flee the settlement, only 700 actually managing to escape while as the remaining 200 were captured by E2 forces, this event being known as the Battle of Sierra Reno, and would be the first and last major battle between the Son's of Salt Lake and EO for a long time to come, though
