Ounalashka

Ounalashka (Уналашка) is a settlement home to the Yukon Wasteland's communist remnants in 2220.
==Background==
Long before the Resource Wars and Anchorage Campaign, the settlement that would become known as Ounalashka was originally a fishing settlement known as Unalaska. The area was originally peacefully inhabited by the Aleut people until the arrival of Russian fur traders in the mid-1700s. While conflicts would arise between the two in the late 1700s, by 2050 the descendants of these two groups had forged a successful fishing town in what was now the United States of America.
By 2064 the community had expanded with new investments from the Bysshe Company to create biodiesel from fish oil. Unfortunately, only a few years after a facility was created Alaska was invaded by the People's Republic of China. The Invasion of Anchorage had begun, throwing Alaska into the forefront of the Sino-American War. When the flag of China was hoisted over Unalaska's largest building, its Russian Orthodox Church, many residents feared their own safety. Rather than imprison or intern the local residents, they were put to work fishing for their new communist rulers. The crab and fish caught in Unalaska now went to feed the very invaders who took control of Alaska.
In early 2077 the town was finally liberated with the rest of Alaska. Its residents would have little time to celebrate however, as the Great War would bring nuclear armageddon to the world later that same year. While Unalaska's remoteness spared it from any direct nuclear strike, it also meant that the community was cut off from the resources they could not produce themselves and usually had shipped in. Irradiated fish and crustaceans could only sustain the survivors for so long.
==Post-War==
Some time after the Great War, remnants of the Soviet Pacific Fleet who had drifted off-course during the apocalypse found their way to Unalaska. Other survivors had told them stories of the Russian Orthodox Church in the town. Desperate to find other Russians, or perhaps just a reminder of home, they set out to find the community. When they reached Unalaska they were greeted by a ghost town, in the years following the Great War the town had completely died out. The Soviet remnants would settle the town, fixing up its buildings and making it somewhat livable once again. Unalaska would be renamed to the more traditional Ounalashka, slowly becoming a safe haven for the former Soviet sailors. Hearing of fellow communists in Ounalashka, Chinese remnants in Alaska would flock to the settlement in the coming years. Together the Russians and Chinese would become the Red Sons, a survivalist group focused on scavenging and fishing along the Alaska Peninsula as well as Aleutian Islands.
==2220==
The Red Sons have had small success in repairing the Bysshe Company's biodiesel infrastructure. With a portion of it brought back online, the group has been able to locally produce some of the fuel needed to power their fishing boats and power the settlement.
