In the aftermath of the TZ-10 outbreak, the remnants of civilization coalesced into distinct factions, each with their own vision for surviving—and perhaps rebuilding—in this new world. From militaristic authoritarians to enlightened technocrats, wasteland raiders to spiritual nomads, these factions shape the political and social landscape of the wasteland.
Alliances form and shatter, territories expand and contract, and the balance of power shifts constantly as factions vie for control of resources, influence, and ultimately the future of what remains of humanity. As a survivor, your choice of faction allegiance will significantly impact your gameplay experience, available quests, technologies, and relationships with other players.
The Dawn represents defiance, hope, and the reclaiming of truth. Comprised of survivors, whistleblowers, and healers, they oppose CSC through covert operations, community rebuilding, and emotional solidarity..
Freeholders reject both CSC control and armed resistance. They rebuild society with farming, resource management, and democratic governance — a vision of healing, autonomy, and family restoration..
Decentralized cells led by “Scraplords” make up the Scavenger Union. They master black market trade, salvage operations, and survivalist neutrality, balancing pragmatism and morality in the face of collapse..
The CSC engineered the TZ-10 outbreak to install permanent control over survivors. They separate families, manipulate minds, and use infected Revenants as tools of terror. Their actions mirror real-life injustice, bureaucracy, and emotional devastation..
The ROJ is made of disciplined survivors who once served justice. Now they enforce honor, structure, and integrity — often clashing with morally grey factions but quietly respected for their values..
This faction is your personal mirror — formed by survivors of forced separation. They fight from pain, vengeance, and the desperate hope of reunion. Unpredictable but deeply human..
Echoes of Eden offer passive resistance, healing, and reconciliation. They operate sanctuaries and spiritual havens, helping survivors reconnect with meaning and process the emotional trauma of loss..
Secretive and analytical, the Watchers gather intelligence on CSC experiments and internal betrayals. They believe that justice starts with truth — even when it hides in shadows..
Outlanders live between the cracks — mistrusting all forms of control. Their lives are harsh, nomadic, and solitary, but their independence is sacred. They symbolize the struggle for autonomy and escape from systemic abuse..
