| New York City Factions | Washington, D.C. Factions |
|---|
Once Washington, D.C. had fallen and chaos spread, people started to band together for protection and to achieve common goals. Civilians worked together to survive, rogue JTF members and extreme parties sought control over the capital, as Division agents fought to restore power and control to the United States government.
Friendly Factions[]
Despite the chaos and violence that rules the fallen capital, several groups have emerged as protectors and guardians. They work together in order to provide people with food, water, and a safe place to live.
Strategic Homeland Division[]

The Division is a group of sleeper agents who work for the federal government. They are activated during the worst possible situation and are the last line of defense when all else fails.
Civilian Militia[]

The Civilian Militia is a friendly faction composed of people living in the different settlements all across DC. They primarily focus on survival, beating back the hostile factions, and also attempting to shelter those in need.
Joint Task Force[]

The D.C. branch of the Joint Task Force is a force supposedly composed of surviving military and first-responding units who neither defected to the True Sons, nor after the main JTF force evacuated the city. The JTF serve as a background faction for the majority of the game, guarding and maintaining the Base of Operations in The White House. The JTF do play larger roles in a few missions, however.
Enemy Factions[]
As the Green Poison contagion slowly recedes in New York City, it rises like a foul, blood-dimmed tide just down the coast in Washington, D.C. The pandemic has paralyzed the nation's capital, including the federal government, and left a power vacuum across the district that several shadowy, violent factions have rushed in to fill. The Strategic Homeland Division and collaborative agencies have identified the following groups as primary enemy combatants in the region.
Hyenas[]
