Southwest Libertarian Front

This faction has existed since the mid-2040s. The SLF is a rogue band of ex-SEALs (suited super soldiers) and the US Air Force. After 2032, the US government abandoned Fort Viridian and its occupants to focus on key forts and communities around the country and retain the United States as a nation. The occupants of Fort Viridian and their families came to live at the fort. Over the next several decades, they maintained the fort and most of their technology, as well as made deals with the CDF at Craterview for food throughout the nuclear winter and the following nuclear summer. Over this time span, they developed a deep resentment of the USCPF, which was gaining power and pushing into the Lake Mead area to assist in rebuilding civilization as of 2053.
The radicalization of these fort occupants came to a head in 2054, when the USCPF offered a deal to regain ownership of the fort, which the occupants rejected. Believing they were soon to be targeted by the USCPF, they wiped out all USCPF settlements and forces in the area. The USCPF was no match for the fort occupants with their SEAL suits.
The fort occupants produced a flag and began calling themselves the SLF. The SLF became increasingly radicalized in their belief that America should be a place of free trade with absolutely no social programs. In September of 2055, believing that the CDF was an equally socialist body of armed forces, the SLF shelled the CDF’s lakeside Fort Ever Grande and threatened to do the same to Craterview unless the CDF abandon it and leave the town with its own governing body.
The CDF’s remaining forces limped out of the valley, mourning the death of dozens of their comrades. The SLF now holds power over most of the valley and is free to squeeze beneficial trade deals out of Craterview, but they tend to keep away from Goldfield. During the winter of 2056, the USCPF and CDF launched a raid on Fort Viridian after Capt. Crawford blew 2 howitzer guns up destroying them, they managed to wound 13 and killing only 2. The USCPF fell back to Goldfield Mountain Complex shortly after.
An attack on the Fort directly was made the Biomass, in which mutants such as the Malicious One appeared, killing an unnumbered amount of airmen. The SLF licked their wounds and nothing fatal was done to the base or SLF. The Airmen mourned their comrades, with repairs and revenge that would soon occur.
Following the Attack, the SLF trades to get Cement Mix from Neutral and Allied Factions in the Area, including the Xi Wang Caravan and the Rosary Order. Repairs were made to the Fort and later other repairs would follow to the Vehicles Damaged.
Following the Attack on Craterview by the Biomass Mutants, the SLF set up a Refugee Camp named "Sanctuary" at the Suburbs near the Fort. Here, Civilians are taken care of by giving De-rads to the infected and being defended by SLF Airmen.
