The Spokane Coalition

The Spokane Coalition is a loosely united army of the anarchists, raiders, and cartel members that were pushed out of Spokane's southern side by Ice City's expansion in 2141. They are based in the renovated ruins of Court d'Alene airport, which was renamed to Fort Alene and is now a massive slave market combined with a military training base and bunkers. They are actively hostile to Ice City.

## History

After Ice City fully pushed out the southern inhabitants of Spokane's ruins in 2141, many of them flocked east to the outskirts of Spokane. These anarchists, raiders, and cartel members joined together to create one stronger army. For the anarchists, they wanted to destroy the government, believing they could liberate the people of Spokane. For the raiders, they wished to see Ice City burn and the rewards of their pillaging earned. For the cartel members, they just wanted to make their caps undisturbed.

After the coalition was officially formed, a leader was decided. The strongest and smartest of the coalition's members, Cursed Blade, originating from the Frozen Devils gang of raiders became leader. Initially, he had several opponents, but they all died in trial by combat with him. Although the anarchists believed he was just another dictator to replace that of Ice City's, they reluctantly went along with the plan. The cartels began to feel that being associated with a bunch of blood-huffing lunatics wasn't exactly going to help their business. This planted the seeds for the unstable alliance between the 3 sects of the coalition.

The coalition then scoured the city, searching for a proper headquarters. They eventually located the ruins of Coeur d'Alene, a pre-war airport. To say the least, it was a fixer-upper. The northern half of the airport was covered in ruins, and the southern half was crawling with feral ghouls and other threats. The opportunity however was too good for the coalition to pass up, after a bloody fight, the coalition was able to exterminate the ghouls. Across a process of 4 years, the rubble was eventually cleared from the northern half. After 6 years, the airport was repaired into a proper building. After 8 years, it became a fully fledged military base.

Now that the coalition had a proper base, the high leadership under Cursed Blade began to plan alongside their leader to destroy Ice City. The first phase of the plan was unleashing the full brawn of their raider forces, resulting in the Raider Scourge of 2162. Ice City reacted to this by heavily militarizing and becoming more authoritarian, only encouraging the anarchists to keep up the fight and to stay with the coalition.

Ever since the scourge, the coalition has been actively hostile, sometimes, but rarely, they would send skirmishing teams to attack the walls of Ice City. They have never actually gotten past the walls, yet.
