-----LORE-----
Before the war ended, in late 2032, Pearl Harbor had become a strong source of naval strength for the US military. The region of land at the end of the Middle Loch in Pearl Harbor, between the Farrington Highway and the Queen Liliuokalani Fairway, had become a medium-sized military-industrial city between 2020 and 2032. The Leeward Community College had developed many new buildings for Naval Drone Specialization and Coast Guard Specialization.
This small portion of Pearl City was hit by two nuclear warheads (both very near to its west side). The portion of the city nearest to the Leeward Community College and the Masterson Shipyard remains fairly untouched, except for the fact that it is periodically and unpredictably flooded, leaving portions of it covered entirely in eroded sand.
Since electricity is only supplied to essential machinery, electronic music and instruments have faded from the norm since the war. Music genres such as swing, jazz, and post-modern jukebox have made a comeback in the hearts and souls of Americans in the 2090's.
The year is 2098. Lots of people are trying to adjust to this new lifestyle, and deal with the threats as they come. Bandits; mutants; wanderers; everyone. It's a hard life, and, as expected, everybody adapts and reacts differently. It's your choices that matter.

-----FACTIONS-----
USCPF (United States Civilization Preservation Force)
This faction has been around ever since 2033, making it over 60 years old. Over the years, it has helped develop new cities around the war-torn USA and has a constant flow of fresh supplies from well-protected factories in the American midwest and northeast. The USCPF prefers helping only close allies but is willing to give medical assistance and nourishment to the residents of impoverished areas. It seeks to rebuild the once-great United States of America.
In 2085, the USCPF finished construction of the Masterson Factory. Four years after the USCPF finished construction of the Masterson Factory, it was taken by the Sandsharks and held ransom. The USCPF called in reinforcements and supplies from the mainland in order to launch an anti-terrorism campaign in Pearl City against all hostile factions, including the Sandsharks. A week before the campaign was about to begin, the CDF took the factory from the Sandsharks. Nobody except the Sandshark and CDF authorities knows whether or not the CDF took it by force, by purchase, or was given the factory. The anti-terrorism campaign was called off by the USCPF in order to avert a war against the CDF, although tensions have, as a result, risen. The USCPF reluctantly still buys supplies from the factory, along with CDF citizens and Sandsharks.
As a result of the Atlanta Crisis in 2096, a major conflict over resources and land between the USCPF and CDF in Atlanta, Georgia, the USCPF has now split into two groups. As a whole, the USCPF still operates as usual, however, the USCPF in the east is at war with the CDF, while the USCPF in the west is not. Tensions between the USCPF and CDF in the west have yet to escalate to war, although it could happen at any time in one of these two major hotspots: Los Angeles, California, and Pearl City, Hawaii.

CDF (Civilian Defense Front)
This faction has been around since the mid-2030's. Over the years, the CDF has helped millions of civilians find a job and a place to live in the tens of thousands of 'scrap towns' located all over the US. The CDF is less well-supplied, however, it has gained access to much more supplies than it had in the previous decades, mostly due to the war in the east. The CDF now has the ability to build cities out of practical materials, not just scraps; a major example being New Atlanta, a large city of concrete and steel which began construction in the late 2070's. The city is located a few miles south of Atlanta, Georgia, and is home to nearly 3 million Americans. The CDF helps any faction in need, however, its supplies aren't great in number. The western CDF mostly buys supplies from the USCPF, which has kept war between the two factions at bay in the west for the past 2 years. The CDF seeks to form a new, greater nation over the old United States of America.
Sandsharks
This faction is a gang of bandits, mercenaries, thugs, and merchants, and only exists in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Sandsharks are responsible for many raids and illegal trades on the black market in Pearl City. The Sandsharks prefer the CDF, however, they dislike both the USCPF and CDF.
Mutants
As a result of the mass-production of vaccines for the RAD-X virus, and the fading of radiation from the nuclear warheads, mutants have become fairly scarce. Only a few, unlucky souls are inflicted with a genetic mutation. These souls, however, have unpredictable mutations, and have been infecting people slowly, but surely. A new, twisted breed of half-mutant, half-human hybrids have started showing up, kidnapping people and converting them.
-----LOCATIONS-----
Masterson Valley
This area was once filled with water, and could fit up to 5 ships (3 at the maintenance bays). After the war ended, the water had been filtered out of the shipyard through the floodgate, for unknown reasons. This area has since grown into a lush, tropical piece of Honolulu's environment. This area is home to a facility known as the 'Masterson Factory'. It produces all of the clean water by using water filtration machines, fusion energy by using fusion cells and converters, and mechanisms by using 3D printers, for all factions in need of these supplies in the area. The supplies are not free, but, are purchased for cheap from the factory.
Main - Turndown St. Intersection
This area is fairly dangerous. Quite a few gangs, including the Sandsharks, lurk around this area. This area has many buildings used for black-market shipments, such as the mall, the hotel, a few restaurants, and a few office buildings.
Beach Overpass
The Farrington Overpass is seen by many as the unofficial border between Sandshark and CDF territory. This area has quite a few military relics sitting around, right where they were when the war ended over 60 years ago, including a small, Zumwalt-class destroyer; the 'USS Erwin'.
Crane Town
Like the countless thousands of scrap towns located around the US, this town is owned by the CDF and is home to a large portion of the residents of the Masterson Area. It is more fortified than most scrap towns, having a strong gate and a thick wall of concrete surrounding it, seeing as the USCPF has a few of its artillery guns pointed in the direction of this town. The residents of this town fear that the USCPF is keeping a few of the higher-quality shipments from the US mainland, for its high ranks and governor.
Pearl Wasteland
This area was once a piece of the Masterson Area of Pearl City. The area was completely flattened by the two nuclear warheads that hit around the area, leaving it defenceless against the eroding sand that comes in with every flood that Honolulu is subject to. The area is covered in a thick, twenty-foot layer of sand in most places. Every once in a while, a hole in the sand opens up that leads to the ruins beneath the wasteland.
Fort Outlook
This base was built and is maintained, by the USCPF. Many of the local merchants suspect that this fort is stockpiling supplies for its own residents, and soldiers, for the possibility of a war in the west. This fort is very well-fortified, well-supplied, and receives weekly shipments from a small group of UR-22s from the US mainland. It has howitzers pointing at both the Masterson Area and at the Waipahu Area.
