Union (Merchants)

The Union is an organisation composed of the most powerful trading companies in the Western Wastes. They mostly operate out of Dust Falls and have managed to consolidate their power around that area. The Union ensures everybody is looked after. Fair prices and security are the two major aims of the Union. Any acquired military hardware is put to use by equipping the guards of the caravans and this has proved so effective that a 'safe zone' has been established around the four central settlements. Very few Raiders would be bold or desperate enough to attemp an ambush with this area. The downside is very few caravanner's will set foot outside the area as the chances of being attacked are increased. There are however those brave (or mad) caravan drivers who will travel beyond the safe zone and to the stricken outer communities who feel they have been cut off by the merchants unwillingness to venture out of their comfort zone.
