Camden Settlement

The Camden Settlement is a civilian settlement located in Camden, New Jersey. 
== History ==
The settlement originally began as a community residing in the hospital facility of Rutgers University, but as its population grew, it attracted the attention of hostile factions. It was later relocated to the nearby Camden City Hall, which was deemed more defensible. 
During the winter months that marked the height of the Green Poison pandemic, the settlement struggled with everything, from electricity to food and clean water, as well as constant attacks from the outside. Fortunately, most of the civilians survived, partly thanks to the presence of three agents from the Strategic Homeland Division. By March 2016, however, Heather Ward was the only agent remaining; the fates of the others is unknown.

In February 2016, the settlement was accosted by the Founders, a local paramilitary group, who began demanding weekly tributes of supplies in exchange for upholding "security". After they were refused, the Founders returned with a mortar and machine guns and began a months-long string of attacks against the settlement. While the residents managed to fend them off, the Founders would always return, stronger and better armed each time.
At around the same time, a young member named Timmy defected from the Founders and sought to join the settlement. Agent Ward took him in, initially believing he was a spy whom she could feed false intel, but Timmy eventually proved himself trustworthy. 
In April, Ward met fellow Division agent Caleb Dunne while hunting wild turkeys, and invited him to the Camden Settlement. Dunne had traveled from New York City in search a woman who previously killed his close friend Mathias Kaminsky. They found the settlement once again under attack by the Founders, and fought them off together. Afterwards, Dunne remarked that the Founders' circumstances were similar to those of the Last Man Battalion in New York, who had recently begun receiving heavy weaponry from an unknown source. 
Inside, Ward introduced Dunne to Timmy. The young man helped Dunne identify his target as "Mantis," who had previously visited the Founders' headquarters at Independence Hall. The agents then convinced Timmy to help them infiltrate the the compound under cover of night. While there was no trace of Mantis, they succeeded in destroying the Founders' armory and assassinating one of their leaders. However, Timmy was shot and killed during their escape. 
With the Founders no longer an imminent threat, Agent Ward decided that the Camden Settlement could now manage without her, and left with Agent Dunne to Fort Meade in Maryland.
