West Coast Enclave

**Dev. Status** | Conceptual

*Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,*

*That saved a wretch like me.*

*I once was lost but now I'm found,*

*Was blind, but now, I see.*

- Amazing Grace - often sung by Enclave citizens and soldiers during theiAlien Wars
The **West Coast Christian Enclave of Virginia**, **West Coast Enclave** (**WCE**) or **American Coastal Remnants** (**ACR**), or just **Enclave** is a minor faction of the Norseverse within "The Universal Emergency" multiverse. Formed from surviving Americans of the Confederated States of Virginia, who were the eighth member of the Directorate, following the Alien Wars followed by the Vorgaxa attack that forced them to completely destroy everything east of the West Coast, including their capital Virginia. Controlling the West Coast, elements of Yukon and British Columbia, the Enclave seek to return to the glorious America they commanded, including finally kicking out the Norse and the traitorous "Vinlanders", before the collapse of the Directorate, the Alien Wars, and the rise of the Fylkirate into a truly global power. The CSV emerged partially victorious from a brutal and bloody Eriksonland Civil War defeating the Vinalnders through a combination of grit, determination, and material and technological support from the Directorate. The CSV would then go on to join the Directorate and become its eighth nation. Having withdrew from the Directorate when they saw that the Directorate was on the brink of collapse in the Alien Wars, only to witness their nation being nearly consumed by the Vorgaxa and being forced to destroy everything beyond the west coast to stop them, including their capital Virginia, the Enclave now stands as the "last" Directorate nation in the face of enemies both new and old. The rise of the Concordiat in the place of the Directorate, the spread of the Fylkirate and Pan-Continental Federation of Workers taking over Alaska and Hawaii has forced the Enclave leadership in Washington to reevaluate their view on the world and both isolate themselves more from the 'lesser peoples' who infect every continent.

Whilst not as numerous as its enemies, having lost a third quarter of their entire population in stopping the Vorgaxa, Washington and its allies California, Oregon, Yukon, and British Columbia eyes Alaska and Hawaii as its next target to once again bring about it's Manifest Destiny and prepares the men and women of America for the next great war. From the underground bunkers to the dense walled cities on the West Coast, the drums of war now beat. Ford and Lee's tanks roll off the production line almost hourly and both Citizens and Slaves enroll themselves in service, seeking to defend the last true bastion of Order, Civilisation, and Religion. Wielding and maintaining the greatest lost technology of the Directorate to defend themselves.

The West Coast Enclave will ensure its survival and its Armoured Infantry Divisions and great fleets of the Air and Sea shall carve a new order into the history books. A new order where America shall stand tall and proud, and its enemies smited by her holy wrath.

### Infantry

 File:IconTUECSA.png | Armoured Patriot | Wearing the heaviest power-armour yet to be deployed by the Enclaves in decent numbers, the AP is a testament to the strength of the CSA's faith in God. Armed with a heavy LMG, shoulder-mounted grenade launcher, left armed scattergun and Enclave flag, the AP assaults enemy fortifications with fervour and faith, preaching lines from the gospel. As a secondary, the AP can launch gas grenades designed to degarrison enemy buildings whilst its scattergun decimates enemy infantry.

## Behind the Scenes

* The West Coast Enclave draws inspiration from a variety of sources including both the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave from Fallout, the American Confederacy from European Conflict, and the United Republic from March of War. Patriotic and Religious to the core, the Enclave worships the determination and bloodshed of the previous two failed American War for Independence (since in the Norseverse the American Revolution completely failed) and have deified many of their war heroes both as religious figures, as well as naming many of their weapons of war after the heroes of the Confederacy. A bastion of Christianity beset by godless Unionists and Pagan Norse, religion and patriotism seep to the core of the Enclave and can be found across the entirety of Enclave Society- whether in building/unit names, unit dialogue or inscribed upon buildings and vehicles.

* Ideologically the Enclave draws from the ideas of the IRL-CSA in terms of carving out a Christian nation guided by Christian Principles and Values. Whilst Xenophobia and WASP values dictate the sentiment of the Enclave to a large extent, the Episcopal Church, as well as other Protestant groups hold sway. The rise of the Unionists, African-American Slave Revolts and the influx of many immigrant groups including Irish Catholics and Norse Pagans amongst others have led the Enclave to offer freedom and a protected status in exchange for 10 years service within the Christian Armies, granting many of these disenfranchised groups a sort of Second-Class Citizenship. The Confederacy is a complicated beast, twisted by wars with the Alien powers, its own sycophantic religious motivation and its natural distrust for all things foreign, and it would be unwise to simply stereotype it as a White AmeriKKKa.

* In comparison to its previous iteration as the American Confederate States and the Union Rebellions of the Concordiatverse (both of which are now fused together in the Norseverse). The Americans actually lost their war for independence in the Norseverse, remaining a (defiant) British colony and the Directorate unofficial eighth member, with the second war for Independence being the equivalent of the OTL American Civil War, in which they lost again, and when they finally won the third war for Independence the Vorgaxa nearly consumed them and had to completely nuke their nation (essentially everything past the West Coast are now Tiberium red zones) and lost a third quarter of their entire population, the survivors hiding with vaults and/or walled cities, with Alaska and Hawaii later being taken over by the Norse and PCFW. Thus the West Coast Enclave have developed a rather obsessive view and desire of nationalism and remaining free, ignoring their hypocrisy in owning slaves without a hint of awareness.
