The world of old is no more. The bombs fell, the fires spread, and deadly radiation was spewed across the landscape. Mankind struggled to survive in great underground tunnels, shelters, and wherever else they could find protection from the destruction above, and once the dust settled, they did their best to endure in the irradiated wastes.Two hundred years later, humanity is rebuilding. What was once known as the United States in the old world, is now a torn and fractured land, divided in two by two powerful factions. To the west lies the New Western Confederacy, built upon the bones of and inspired by the republics and democracies of old. To the east, the Commonwealth of States, a nation ruled by nobility and power passed down through bloodlines. While most seek to bring back a semblance of the old world's civilizations, the wastes are still a haven for irradiated monsters, dangerous tribals, and violent bandits. There are many stories of these horrors, but none have been told more than those of Wesley Kerrigan: the most feared outlaw the wastes had ever seen. For half a decade, Kerrigan and his gang terrorized the counties of the New Western Confederacy and the Commonwealth alike, until he was finally killed in a bloody shootout.Seven years after his supposed death, rumors of man claiming to be Wes Kerrigan have made their way across the sandy deserts, bringing with them a new wave of terror. The outlaw is not only alive, but he is also in his possession of a piece of old world technology, one that can once again bring the fires of nuclear war to the already fractured world. In response, the New Western Confederacy sends their best to track down Kerrigan and finally bring the outlaw to justice.They are the Marshals.
