Badland Originals

From Desolation

The Badland Originals were formed when Shub-Yarithne N'grath took the reigns of the Pit Snakes, following the death of his older brother who ran the small gang of local punks based out of Needles. After hunting down his brother's killers, Shub united four of the other, lesser gangs of Needles and recruited them under the new banner of the Badland Originals. After a hard-fought gang war that finally settled the feud between Shub and The Cutters, the Badland Originals set up shop in The Ground Zero, renovating it for their own use and forming a safe-haven outside of the survivalist communities for the marauders, thieves, and murderers that frequent the bar.

Considered the "grittier" criminal element of New Nevada, when compared to their allies, the well-organized and mafioso Sindikat organization, as the gang consists predominately of bikers, punks, and even the hideously-mutated. Shameless and brutal in their dealings, what they lack in etiquette and professionalism, they make up for with sheer ruthlessness and vicious tenacity.

One aspect of the Badland Originals that allows for them to thrive is that they were amongst the first marauder clans to figure out the secrets of resurrecting pre-war combustion engines, or creating their own imitations. This development led them to forming the Trashbike Armada, a massive plethora of assorted motorcycles that allows the Badlanders to hold the rank of being the most mobile marauder clan in the region.

Up until recently, Shub has been absent from New Nevada, setting out to conquer new turf in the Arizona Deadlands, hoping to expand his territory as well as reign in some fresh recruits. The Arizona Legion is a sub-sect of the gang, composed of smaller gangs, groups of raiders, and mutants from the Arizona Deadlands, that've been assimilated and recruited into The Badland Originals during Shub's conquest through No Man's Land.
