General Monroe secretly began work on restoring power to the Militia at this time.Īt one point, the Georgia Federation and the Plains Nation formed an alliance, which threatened the area of southern Illinois, as there were heavy rebel sympathies in the region. Lieutenant Tom Neville was then tasked with hunting down Miles' co-conspirators. He felt that Monroe's lust for power had undermined his ability to govern. This was also when Monroe revealed that they were going to have to ration ammunition, as they were running out.Įleven years after the Blackout, Miles abandoned the Militia after failing to assassinate Monroe and became a fugitive. With the help of Jeremy Baker, Miles assumed the post of Commanding General of the Militia, while Monroe dealt with the political side of things.īoth Miles and Sebastian Monroe personally led their troops during the Trenton campaign, and Miles was wounded in a particularly fierce firefight.

Sometime after the Blackout, Sebastian Monroe and Miles Matheson together established the Monroe Republic, using the Militia as a way to police the ruins of America after being plunged into chaos.
