Red Patch Wars

The Red Wars (also called the Red Patch Wars) were a series of battles between survivor groups and the remainder of Nergal Industries' forces. These battles took place shortly after the zombie apocalypse, and primarily involved the Pirates of the Mississippi, the Raiders, the United Survivors of America, the Independent States (IDS), and the Nergal forces, known as the Red Patches, or Reds. The war was resolved when Captain Dryfter of the Pirates of the Mississippi met with Cerberus, the head of Nergal's forces. There, the leadership of the Reds was transferred to Janneke Gaje, who ended the war.

Actual Events of the War
The war between the Survivors and the Reds initially began with skirmishes between the groups, with the Survivors having no idea why the Reds were attacking. These skirmishes caused the initially separate survivor groups to start to merge in order to fight back against the Reds. However, the Reds captured a lone fighter named Ahmose from New Orleans and tortured him for information. The knowledge that he was being tortured rallied the Survivors into action, causing them to convene a summit. At the same time, another group later to be called the Clerics attacked Rene's base, almost killing him.

End of the War (since it totally deserves its own section)
Cerberus asked to meet with Captain Dryfter to discuss the war. At this meeting, control of the Reds was transferred to Janneke Gaje, and after a brief scuffle with Kamarov's Raiders, the Red Wars came to an end, and the Cleric Wars began.
