Congregate Contingency

The United States Congregate Contingency is a oligarchic expansionistic state with the sole goal of rebuilding American and destroying all obstacles in their way. It was founded on March 24th, 2037 under the Contingency Act by President Archie Donovan Hill and General George Paine.

The origin of the Contingency comes from before the war. During the Sino-American Conflicts, President Hill established a Contingency plan incase of total destruction. It was the plan to regroup, recover, restart the remnants of the United States Armed Forces. During the Great Exchange, President Hill, The Cabinet, Paine and a large team of Armed Forces soldiers fled into the Capitol Command bunker. These people slowly discussed in how they would regroup America, and the Contingency Act is signed three days after the Exchange.

September 8th, 2038. The Conclave is established, consisting of the greatest minds in the Contingency, however President Hill continued to lead as Chairman of the Conclave, giving absolute power above all others.

Goal
The Congregate Contingency had the sole goal of regrouping the United States, recover it and restart the United States anew. They attempt to recover as many assets as possible.

Upon establishing garrison in a region, the Contingency sets up a beacon and a transmission tower. The beacon is designed as a distress beacon incase of an assault on the base or any other catastrophic event. The transmission tower is to send out messages to base and to other local settlements and remnants of the United States.

Capitol Command
The Contingency was founded by the greatest minds in Washington DC. They lived in the Capitol Command where they signed the Contingency Act and later the Creation of the Conclave. Military officers Paine and Brooks established the early military hierarchical structure of the Contingency Armed Forces.

The Contingency Armed Forces also had a small sub-division, the Mechanical Paladins. The Paladins used Bulwark Power Armor and acted as a heavy assault unit. The Contingency Armed Forces was split up into four branches, The Contingency Army who acted as the run-of-the-mill military group, the Aerial Contingency Command, who obviously took care of the Aerial combat, the Medical Commission who were the healthcare units and the Legislative Commission who acted as those who decided what was right and what was wrong for a soldier to do.

Ellsworth Air Force Base
In 2038, the Contingency sent out a expeditionary force to South Dakota to Ellsworth AFB. The forces there established the Midlands Contingency Force which had its own small governing body. The Midlands Contingency Force also started the beginning for more expeditionary forces. Ellsworth acted as the Midlands Assembly, which was a sub-group of the Conclave. This was also the Contingency's first encounter to a intelligent Withered settlement, The Hub.

The Hub was controlled by intelligent Withered roamers. They had however blocked normal wastelanders from entering due to them knowing what was better for the general population. However, the Contingency saw this with disgust and regret of the pre-war actions of the United States. Under Brooks' command, the Contingency launches a extermination mission of the Hub and killed the citizens.

Nellis Air Force Base
Following the Midlands expedition, in 2040 a Western one is sent to Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. This group became more independent and became the Western Contingency Force and established the West Conclave which acted as an equal to the Conclave. The Western Conclave was led by Chieftain Gardner who acted under President Hill.
