The Cut
A militant, hard-driven compound, trying to hold out.
During Normal Times
Jeanette leads The Cut harshly - life here is uncomfortable, but no resident goes without their very basic needs, at least. Residents here are not put at unnecessary risk of death, but their lives can certainly be very hard. The defenders and scavenging/raiding parties are very well equipped. Aggressive scavenger / raider teams are sent out, mostly into The Buried City. The total fighting force is a medium gang - about 40 well-equipped fighters. 3-harm & 2-armour in Apocalypse World terms. Mostly with decent firearms.After the Evacuation
Reginald Fulton bombed The Cut's armoury during The Door in Reality, Session 1, revealing the fact that Harbortown had escalated their rivalry into direct attacks. This made Jeanette realise that this location could no longer keep her people safe. She sent all non-combatants away to find a new home, along with the best fighters and almost all vital resources. Jeanette stayed behind with a small force of volunteer, older and less able defenders, with the intention of eliminating as many attackers from Harbortown as possible before dying in the defence of a now-empty settlement.The Cut's Evacuees
Formed mostly of non-combatants, but with good resources and some great fighters (lead by Dremmer). The fighters will savagely protect the others. They are looking for a new place to settle, perhaps in The Buried City, before some of the fighters return to rescue those remaining at The Cut's old location. In Apocalypse World terms, they are a medium gang with 2-harm & 1-armour and small gang with 3-harm & 2-armour. The evacuees were scattered in an attack by the Wolves of the Maelstrom during The Door in Reality, Session 6, while they tried to camp during their first night in The Buried City.Demographics
Before the evacuation: Around 40 fighters with good training and equipment. The remainder of the roughly 300 are mostly labourers and manual workers.
Government
Jeanette leads, unchallenged. The fighters enforce her rule (mostly via intimidation rather than violence).
Defences
Decent walls and a well-equipped fighting force of about 40, before the evacuation. Now, less than 10 of the weaker fighters remain at the original site, while the remaining 30+ are with the evacuees (with the best equipment).
Industry & Trade
Before the evacuation, they scavenged from The Buried City and either repurposed or traded with Harbortown.
Infrastructure
Some relatively small-scale farms of flora and fauna. Workshops for repurposing and repairing scavenge, maintaining equipment and constructing essentials. Very little in the way of entertainment and leisure.
Since the evacuation, anything of any real use or value has been taken away from the original settlement by the evacuees.
Assets
Before Reginald Fulton's bombing, there was a very impressive armoury. Many, but not all of its contents were saved.
Just about enough food and essentials for all residents to survive (but not be comfortable).
Anything of real use or value was taken by the evacuees.
Architecture
Spartan accommodations for all (shacks and shanties with little but essential furniture) - even Jeanette and the best fighters do not have impressive lodgings. Buildings are built simply but sturdily from mostly-scavenged materials.
