The Market originates from a small raider crew from Na Careva, a ruined city on the outskirts of the state. After the bombs initially fell, a certain few saw it key to grab hold of the oppurtunity, sacking what buildings they could during the immediate fall. Battles with scattered police squads, ACMF remnants, and US Military remnants left them battered, but not broken. As winter came, this small crew took refuge in a service tunnel for a subway. Some passerbys would occasionally trade with them, but ultimately they were hermits with whatever leftover supplies they had.
Having seen and heard the devestation from these passerbys, each day came with more courage about the surface. Slowly, expeditions were carried out to pick up the pieces left by the old world. This granted them access to military supplies, canned food, and even working vehicles. As they began to expand from service tunnel to station, their gaudy and narcisitic behavior lead them to travel across the state, creating a distinct separation between the two crews. As years passed, and their ventures only grew their arsenal and riches, they began to officially expand and carry out raids.
The most brutal and significant of these raids was carried out on a small trading post in the ruined town of Drastead, where a small group of civilians and veterans were residing. When the raiding crew arrived, they eradicated all civilians in the area, sacking the town and their homes. When they entered the old military warehouse on the edge of the town, they found a perfect residence for their new expansion.
As time would go on, this crew would come to see a civil dispute between them, an engagement to civil trading, or remaining as a raider crew. While most of those disputing the trade were ex-communicated, some still remain.
