OOC: It's conceivable that a Season 1 character going into a zone might lean toward joining the Fireflies and try to hunt them down.
The Fireflies were founded sometime after the CBI outbreak in response to the US military's martial law placed in the quarantine zones. The group called for the return of all branches of government to end the military's rule and staged several attacks within the quarantine zones..
So far, the Fireflies have not done anything major except start to organize and stage some protests.
Since the outbreak, the Fireflies have searched in vain for a cure to counter the CBI.
Morale within the organization is always shaky as the military, with their superior tactics and manpower, are using tremendous resources to hunt them down.
Their main headquarters were established in 2020 at St. Mary's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Upon initiation and acceptance into the Fireflies, recruits receive dog tags as pictured.
Equipment
The Fireflies make use of military equipment and vehicles they have found while either scavenging or have acquired in skirmishes. They make use of alliances within the quarantine zones to get supplies. They also often depend on smugglers to sneak things in and out of zones for them.
They do have ranks, like with the military, and rely heavily on organization and planned tactics.
Weapons: Medium and Light. Vets might be able to get heavy.
