## **Background**

### **Pre-Flash -** April 23rd, 2030

* The United Continental Army, originally starting off as a group of doomsday preppers, and protesters: And originally were formed Shortly After the Chinese invasion of Japan. The event was somewhat covered up via the media to a certain degree, as the Pre-Flash UCA soon take notice, making Propaganda posters, and plastering them onto the sides of Cafe's, and small store fronts. The group would begin to protest, whilst their "Officials" would take to using their donations given to them by the group members to start building a shelter for them to live, in case of a nuclear Armageddon.
* They tried to take the news to the Senator, but the man didn't listen. He saw the group as insane, and soon told the group to leave, and warned them of their fear mongering, and the damage it could cause. The small group spread their propaganda via the internet, and were soon called insane doomsday preppers shortly after. Nobody believed them, but they knew something was going to happen, and they were just buying their time for the inevitable doomsday that was soon to come.
* One of the strongest believers of the faction, being Jean Drisp helped take charge, soon helping the faction gather supplies like food, and water. Jean was previously a lawyer before quitting their job to join the protests that the faction hold.
* Their plans of starting a full fledged revolution upon the Pre-Flash government never made it to fruition, and was forced to be abandoned as they were greeted with the eventual nuclear Armageddon caused by NATO and the ACMF.

### Post-Flash - November 10th, 2032

* Shortly after the nuclear missiles launched, the group was able to take cover inside of their community funded shelters. They spent two years inside, keeping out anybody that wasn't in the faction, shooting others on sight. The nearby townsfolk soon decided to try to break into the shelter they lived inside, and were met with instant hostility by the group. Those who attempted to break in were then forced to work under the group to pay for the crimes and property they damaged. This was similar to how people were forced to participate in community service pre-flash, but to an extreme. The workers were not given breaks, almost put into a gulag-esc workforce.

### Post-flash - October 3rd, 2034

* The group would now slowly adjust to the new world they were greeted with upon the exit of the bunker, and the small town nearby, along with the labor of those who were imprisoned soon going to waste, it was soon all covered by the thick snow that began to pour down further, like it usually had been. it was becoming more difficult for the group to enter, and exit their bunker, as the snow began to clog up the doors, and path leading out of it. This would soon become a major problem to the group sooner or later.

## History

### Continuation - N/A

* The group soon retreated back to their bunkers, isolating themselves from any outside forces. They knew that it would be tough for them to make it out in the harsh nuclear climate, and the terrible weather that soon followed.

### End Of Terms - April 4th, 2033

* As Jean soon finished her term as Mayor, they had ran elections; but afterwards, Jean was voted to be Mayor once more. Ending up to serve two terms in the Greensville office.

### Formation of the New Articles - August 1st, 2037

* The Nuclear Winter had not stopped the UCA fully though, as they gathered any officials, along with the help of Jean Drisp to write a new constitution of sorts, named "The New Articles." It was clear that they had taken inspiration from the revolutionary war, including the Articles Of Confederation
* As the winter grew colder, and the snow grew thicker. The group were forced to leave the safety of their bunker. A full restart on what they were used to, the luxury they once had, and the comfort that came along with said luxury. Their morale at a all time low, they were soon met with a conflict that could possibly destroy the faction as a whole: The Loyalists VS The Rebellion.

### Civil War - March 23rd, 2037

* The inevitable split-up of the faction soon took place, as they were met with a massive conflict they had no control over. The Rebellion wanted to overthrow the original UCA, as they saw them as a weak faction that could be turned into something more valuable. And pointed out several flaws with the New Articles, they had no right to be trying to reform a new America if they weren't even strong enough to survive the winter on their own without the safety of the bunker. The two groups were at a equal strength, but in numbers, the Loyalist grew strong. Still spreading propaganda in an attempt to keep the morale high, but it was obvious they could only spread propaganda for so long.
* Not only was ammo running scarce, but so was food. A great amount of soldiers, and officials were dying of starvation, they lacked the skills to even form any sort of farms, along with producing ammo. They attempted to make connections with Caravans, but they had failed to do so, and were left to slowly wither away until something was done. The Civil War was still ongoing, up until the present day, they were fighting for a cause that was most likely not worth the attempt to preserve. Their old world values being left to shrivel away slowly.

## Mission

### Ideologies

The United Continental Army (UCA ) is ran under a government similar to the revolutionary Articles Of Confederation. They see themselves as selves as saviors of America, and are willing to rebuild it in their own image. They're not seen in a positive light by most wastelanders, as their ways of gaining new land tends to be harsh. An example being the Greensville massacre, and how they have a habit of Annexing settlements they deem to be theirs. The UCA is founded upon colonization, and are willing to conquer land even if it leads to several deaths. Those who do not align with their ideals aren't harmed, but those who act against it (Via fighting back) are put down swiftly.

Their reputation with factions like the SLF, CDF, and other governing factions of similar nature aren't welcoming. And USCPF are a shoot on sight if they get to close to a settlement, or too close to their fort. Due to this, they're usually left to their own devices. As no other faction sees it as being a value to take them down with zero cause.

Any criminal caught by the UCA are sent to be put as workers, now assigned that title until they pay off their debt. They mistreat workers severely, mainly due to them being criminals. And publicly humiliate them often. Once a Worker repays their debts to the CCC (United Continental Confederation), they're essentially set back into the wasteland, their UCC (United Continental Confederation) citizenship being taken away permanently. This has lead to several counterfeit citizenships being passed around for a cheap price.

The UCA treats their own like family. Although, with specific settlements that go through poverty, all they get in return is just more Hopefuls to guard them. The UCA rarely being able to spare any sort of resource like food, or water to them. Although, they are known to give out free supplies to factions under their authority. If any wastelander or group of wastelanders pose a threat to a settlement, the UCA takes it very seriously. Usually sending out groups of armed men to help further fortify the defenses of said settlement, and offer protection to them.

### Goals

* One of their main goals is to re-establish a new America under themselves, and their image alone. If any sort of group threatens their goals, they're usually immediately dealt with hostility by the "Military Force" of the faction.
* The main point of setting up so many settlements is to be able to replicate the system of the real life Articles Of Confederation government, which would mean the settlements are ran like independent states.

Hindėrburg - December 2nd, 2052

(Written By Nelf)

* An outpost was built somewhere in the region near the outskirts of the city. The place used to serve purpose of an outpost of some bandit faction before it was left out and abandoned, Due to the small revolution in there of lack of food or some other things. The place was seemed old and long gone after a year. Conquering After for some time the UCA went inside, Checking each nook and cranny before saying it was clear, Before that closing the gate and doing some changes around the place as the wind turbine fully functions during the cold winters. The outposts housing would be now used as a hotel for nearby wanderers, As so there would be plenty of logs cut for the kindling fire to make the place feel like almost home, And welcoming one. The aftermath Nowadays the place is now used as the UCA Settlement as a resting stop for wastelanders, The Hopeful's would not talk to them. Even if they try but they are doing their own job. The day's are numbered for the whole wasteland.

The Well - November 5th, 2049

(Written By Jejen)

* The Well was initially formed November 5th, 2049. And started off as a branch from the original UCA that soon formed somewhere in Colorado. Times were tough for this settlement, especially due to the thick ash that covered the area. This was by far one of the most advanced settlements built however, and is even the most populated settlement. The settlement deals with a ever-growing homelessness issue, that still carries into the modern day (2053.) The jobs of this settlement mainly consist of mining coal to power the massive "generator" they have that powers the entire settlement, or becoming a Hopeful. If one were to choose to become a Hopeful, they'd be sent on guard duty immediately without any sort of training; into the most dangerous sections of the well.
* Even if you weren't anywhere near Colorado, if you were a Hopeful you'd still receive the threats of being sent to The Well, truly showing how dangerous of a settlement it truly ended up becoming. The entire system of The Well consisted of corrupt politicians, several crime families, and a totalitarian dictatorship run society. It almost leaned into straight communism at one point, but was soon shifted into the right direction. The Senate of the settlement (Dean Wilton) has been re-elected approximately five times, each term serving around five years in total. The votes are entirely rigged, but the main branch of the SHC doesn't seem to mind, as it isn't anywhere close to them to be a major issue.
* The average lifespan of the settlement, which at this point has grown into a full blown city almost, is very short. Most dying in their late thirties due to the horrible polluted air that surrounds the city. It's nickname is also "The Ashlands" due to the heavy ash falling from the sky constantly. Lung disease is all too common, and so is lung cancer; due to the horrible living conditions.
