The Campus Settlement is a major civilian settlement located in Downtown West. The Campus was originally set up as a CERA refugee camp. After the harsh winter, supplies started running low and steps were taken towards long-term subsistence. Defenses were raised, agriculture programs were started, and the residents elected Henry Hayes as their leader. Henry is strong, both in body and in spirit, and leads the Campus Settlement through hard times, often believing that overcoming such requires manual labor and hard work.

This settlement is well protected by the Civilian Militia, and works toward survival and self-reliance.

In its early days, the settlement was a busy but joyless place, with every waking moment devoted to basic survival tasks: procuring food and water, and maintaining shelter and security. Hayes also appointed committees to handle sanitation and medical issues. Settlement life settled into a hive-like routine of tasks. Hayes's guiding dictum was: "He that does not work, neither shall they eat."

That spirit soon infused every aspect of existence. There was work, there was sleep . . . and precious little besides. Survival became the overarching imperative, and anything that detracted from labor toward that goal, even the smallest bit of levity, was unacceptable. A tone of puritanical severity began to hover over the settlement.

Background[]

Shortly after the initial Green Poison outbreak hit Washington, D.C. in December, CERA established a refugee center in a large open field on the campus of The George Washington University, just west of The White House. For more than a month, the tent camp in the University Yard focused on managing the contagion: providing patient care, housing tourists trapped in the city, and keeping the lid on simmering social unrest.

As the miserable winter dragged on, other refugee centers around the city began failing, one by one. Overrun with smallpox cases and armed thugs raiding their supplies, CERA began pulling healthcare workers out of the more dangerous camps, which quickly collapsed. By February, the University Yard camp, now called "The Campus," was the only functioning refugee center remaining.

Recognizing that both CERA and the JTF were staggered by the scope of the pandemic and on the verge of a total withdrawal from the field, Campus denizens began to take steps toward self-reliance and long-term subsistence. First, they erected rudimentary defenses against Hyena raiders who attempted random forays into the camp. Next, using green spaces around campus, they began to plant and cultivate food crops. Finally, the residents elected a leader named Henry Hayes to direct the reorganization of the camp into a fortified, self-sustaining settlement.

By March, all CERA field hospitals and redistribution centers in the greater D.C. area had folded. The only truly safe sanctuaries for refugees were the three large civilian-run settlements established in the city (including the Campus) plus the JTF/Division Base of Operations on The White House grounds.


Outcasts Encroachment[]

April brought some relief from the cold weather but also a new threat from the west. Parties of raiders calling themselves the Outcasts began a series of hit-and-run strikes on the settlement's perimeter posts, and also harassed Campus foraging teams who regularly swept the nearby neighborhoods for supplies. A turf war was clearly brewing.

But worse than open war was the Outcasts' attempt to infiltrate the Campus with its nihilistic philosophy. Over the next few weeks, a number of prominent Campus residents became converts. Most notable was Henry Hayes's own wife, who had been made increasingly despondent by the situation and left the Campus for the Outcasts encampment.

In the wake of her departure, trust in Hayes waned and some called for him to step down. He angrily refused to do so, and his personal loss colored his hatred for the Outcasts even darker. By June, the hostile group had consolidated its control over the territory surrounding the Campus. Worse, it continued to attract converts to the Outcasts worldview.


Upgrades[]

As the agent reclaims more and more of Washington, D.C., new upgrades and side missions will become available in the Settlements.
