Patrollers

The Patrollers are Human and Eternal soldiers run by the Sentinels and Renegades, guarding the Crossroads and other places of interest under their control.

Early Beginnings
It was a trying time. 20 years ago, the Crossroads was a very different place. Far flung from the relative order and peace, this was a time of the Red Syndicate, a division of Rogue eternals feared for their brutality. They oppressed the land, stripping humans of their most basic rights should they ever be foolish enough to step into the Crossroads.

They would crush any resistance standing in their way, they would demoralize the people under their control, and they would be all powerful...Except....

The notion of rebellion, of striking back and fighting against all odds has a charm, and it has it's place. The time was now. Humans, and Eternals, currently in mutual distrust of one another, had finally united to fight alongside one another.

For Freedom, both from the Crossroads, and the Red Syndicate. The Patrollers were beginning to take shape.

At first, they were no elite fighting force. These were men and women, clad in standard clothing and carrying whatever weapons they could make or get their hands on, such as handmade clones of the STEN, pipe shotguns, knives, clubs, stones, stolen munitions...Anything they could shoot or swing to do damage.

Inspired by their bravery, the Sentinels began supplying "troops" with armor, weapons, ammo, and rations to keep the fight going. Only 4 years earlier, these sentinels had lost the Crossroads to the Rogues, and they were eager to have their revenge. Eventually, as they trained more soldiers, reinforcements were also sent.

The Renegades, still a young faction at this point, wanted to prove their worth, too. Led by one boy, Cody Firematch Micheal, these eternals sided with these brand new rebels, and together, they formed the force that would save the Crossroad's human population, The Patrollers, then called the "Angels of Rebellion"

Uprising
It didn't take long for the Rogues to see that rebellion was brewing. Eager to quell the uprising, they went all out on them. They enforced even stricter rules, and if anybody, anybody at all, was caught outside their home, they would be shot on sight, just to demoralize this rebellion.

That didn't work, because it only made the rebels angrier. One fateful early June night, June 6th, 2005, the rebels led the most extensive, most destructive military campaign they could. Thousands of rebels died that night, but they had killed thousands more. That same month, the Rogues had surrendered, and finally, the Crossroads was free.

Development
With the Renegades now in full swing liberating prisoners and developing infrastructure, the Sentinels abandoned their troops there. Some joined the Renegades, longing for more action. Others fled. And still, others settled down. With the Crossroads now completely under their control, a serious accident at a formerly Rogue controlled Reactor, also known as Complex Six, had changed the site forever.
