New Anchorage

Anchorage was a city in the pre-War Northwest Commonwealth, and is now a major salvaging hub in the Yukon Wasteland.
==Pre-War History==
Before the Great War, the city of Anchorage was on the forefront of American military action. Elmendorf Airforce Base and Fort Richardson were constructed during the 1940's to help conflict with a growing possibility of a Japanese invasion. Following the Second World War the U.S. government focused their attention on communist powers of the Soviet Union and China just across the Pacific. Nuclear weapons and even more military bases were placed near Anchorage to protect the territory from potential invasion.
An invasion did come when the Alaskan Reclamation brought the city into the centre of the Sino-American War. What remained of the city after conflict was annihilated when the Great War reduced much of Anchorage to radioactive rubble.
==Post-War History==
===Formation of the city===
About fifty years after the Great War, survivors of the region realized the city was relatively safe to explore again. Salvagers jumped at the opportunity to loot the ruined city of military equipment from the Anchorage Reclamation. With this newfound attention to the city, a merchant named Kyle Jameson refurbished a small motel outside of the ruins of old Anchorage in 2127. He turned it into a rest stop and trading post for those coming to pick apart the ruins of Anchorage. Jameson managed to convince others of the wealth to be made off of the city's salvagers, and within a decade a small ramshackle settlement had been formed around his trading post.
As Jameson's influence grew in the community he believed in, so did their trust in him. He was asked to become mayor of the small community and accepted, naming the settlement "New Anchorage".
===Gang Problems===
New Anchorage experienced significant growth as word of the pre-War treasures in Anchorage spread throughout the region. Until now, mercenaries hired by New Anchorage's profits had allowed them to keep the city safe from Alaska's bandit groups. In 2150 when the New Anchorage Gang War engulfed the settlement when the Black Gold, Yukon Brothers, and the Mountie gangs of Alaska formed a loose alliance to take the settlement and assert their control over the salvagers of old Anchorage. With the mercenaries of New Anchorage outnumbered by the attacking raiders, at the age of 42 Kyle Jameson raised the New Anchorage Citizen's Militia to defend the community's home in the frozen wastes. Made up of members of the community and several mercenaries who stayed to fight, the militia armed with the same salvaged equipment once used to defend old Anchorage from its Chinese invaders before the Great War.
While Kyle Jameson led and took up arms in the town's defense, his son Paul led a surprise attack on the gang's joint base at Elmenford Airforce Base to end the conflict. A memorial was erected in the downtown area of the town following the battle, engraved with the names of all who were lost during the fighting.
===Growth and Expanse===
In 2205, Paul's son Timothy explored the northern expanses of Alaska, now known by residents as the Yukon Wasteland. Tim discovered, along with a huge supply of weapons in Fort Yukon, a Poseidon Energy solar panel array that had underground electric cables that lead to a power array near Anchorage. He also discovered that Poseidon Energy had other energy projects, which were being used to discover supplements to oil.
When Timothy came back to his father, Alex immediately recruited a group of mercenaries (known as Pike's Packers: which specialized in science and exploration ) and a construction team to be sent up north. Many of New Anchorage's residents were questioning Alex's action, but he only responded with, "I think you'll like what's coming."
The next week, citizens of New Anchorage began to talk about how they heard "metallic clanking and whining" in the factories near the city. Before long, Alex revealed to the public that he was planning to give power back to New Anchorage.
In the following weeks, New Anchorage's factories officially now had power. By then, New Anchorage's citizens were already volunteering to become factory workers. New tribes and people also began to flock towards New Anchorage, attracted by the lights that it gave off.
Alex Jameson, who would be known as the 'King of the Alaskan Renaissance', died in 2234.
