The Remnants

The Remnants
The Remnants are a hostile human faction consisting of former national army, police, and other former government elements. It is unclear what the goals or objectives of the group are, nor is it clear who is leading it (although some speculate that the former president is leading them). It is clear, however, that they are a well-armed and well-organized group hell-bent on destroying (or simply subjugating) the NCD. This was made apparent when they launched their first attack against the NCD, the second defense of Outpost 5, destroying the gate of bridge 2, incurring a total of 17 NCD casualties, and killing then-Director-5, Isabela Kaye A. Richards. Only the interrogation of a captured remnant after the battle yielded the idenitity of the group that attacked.

Armed forces
It is unclear how well-armed the remnants are, but it is clear that they still retain much of the national army's arsenal. Their attack on Outpost 5 utilized several RPG's. It is known that the national army never used RPG's. In fact, they never had any anti-tank weaponry at all. Some militia commanders speculate that the RPG's were confiscated pre-apocalypse from insurgent groups, which would be the most likely case, because insurgents don't have tanks, but the army does. According to scouts' consolidated reports, 13 tanks lay disabled within the vicinity of District 4 and 6. The army is known to have 22 tanks.

Due to the possible threat of the remnants possessing at least one tank, which in itself is a threat to the NCD, several projects both by independent engineers and the Experimental Weapons Department have been undertaken to produce viable anti-tank weaponry.

An interrogation of a captured remnant after the second defense of Outpost 5 suggests that the remnants number approximately 700+. Additionally, the remnants have been recently reported to have integrated survivors into their forces.

Territory
It is unclear if the remnants actually possess any territory whatsoever, but a consolidated report on recent remnant activity suggests that they operate somewhere east of District 5. Clashes with remnant forces have been strung along District 5 and District 4, but so far to only a limited degree. There was one incident where an NCD position was compromised, temporarily shifting district borders. The position was soon regained by a pissed-off Director-6.
