The Florida Wasteland

Factions

The Florida Wasteland is home to many competing factions — each with their own goals, ideals, and methods. Choose your allegiance wisely. The fate of the Sunshine State may depend on it.

Good

The Brotherhood of Steel

Preserving the technology of the old world — at any cost.

The Brotherhood of Steel are the armored guardians of pre-war technology. Disciplined, heavily equipped, and unwavering in their mission, they patrol the Florida Wasteland seeking to secure advanced technology before it falls into the wrong hands. Their power armor is a symbol of both protection and authority. Many members of the Florida Brotherhood were former mercenaries recruited into the order in 2294, when the Order returned to the region.

The Enclave

The last true Americans — or so they believe.

Remnants of the pre-war United States government, the Enclave believe themselves to be the rightful heirs of America. Highly organized and ruthlessly efficient, they operate with military precision and advanced technology. Their presence in the Florida Wasteland signals that something significant is at stake. The Enclave bring a promise of stability, order and a return to American values and power that is comforting, reassuring, even a little seductive. Many have learned of the brutal violence and control the Enclave quickly metes out to any wastelanders that reject their authority or who have tested as unpure and not suitable for being part of the new America.

The Sunshine Band

Florida's premier caravan company and mercantile hub.

Born from the swamps and sun-scorched highways of Florida, the Sunshine Band are a former gang of raiders that realized that a little personality, business acumen, and a near-endless supply of pre-war junk can amass a fortune just as quickly and a lot more safely than violence. They're now the premier caravan company and mercantile outfit in the south-east; colorful salesmen, showmen with the gift of gab, but don't let the festive appearance fool you. They are well armed and have deep pockets to fund a deadly serious security team.

New California Republic

Democracy, liberty, and the rule of law — even here.

The New California Republic represents the best attempt at rebuilding democratic civilization in the post-war world. Having expanded east from California to establish cross-country trade routes and seek like-minded organizations looking to restore a safe, democratic society, NCR troopers now operate in the Florida Wasteland, bringing their ideals of law, order, and mutual defense — whether the locals want it or not. Burned by an early association with the Red Duke, the NCR subsequently formed part of the tripartite alliance under the Treaty of Poseidon to establish the Sunshine State. As it became more established, the NCR 2nd Military Assistance Group left the defense of the Sunshine State to its own security forces and focused on training local settlements to build their own defense teams and keep the trade routes safe from raiders.

The Florida Responders

Long after the bombs fell, they kept showing up.

The Florida Responders are the descendants of first responders, National Guard units, and emergency services personnel who refused to abandon their posts when the bombs fell. Two centuries later, their organization endures — battered, understaffed, but still answering the call. They are the closest thing the Florida Wasteland has to a humanitarian force.

Ravagers of the Silver Cove

The coast belongs to those who take it.

Operating out of the ruins of Florida's coastal towns, the Ravagers of the Silver Cove are a raider confederation that controls the waterways and coastal ruins. They are known for their distinctive style of dress and an organizational structure and bylaws drawn from the old Pirate's Code. They're looking to make a fortune, live outside the norms of any form of civil government, and live life to the fullest. While they can be fierce opponents, those who give up their goods without resistance are often spared. While technically raiders, they typically respect a white flag and a chance to parley, knowing that violence comes with a cost to all.

The Legion

Ave, true to Caesar.

Caesar's Legion has marched east, and their brutal efficiency has followed them into the Florida Wasteland. A slave army built on conquest and Roman-inspired discipline, the Legion views the chaos of the wasteland as weakness to be purged. They are feared, organized, and utterly without mercy for those who oppose them.
