| —The Rusthammers' creed |
Rusthammer is a Terran organization/movement. It comprises of many bands of wild scavengers wandering around the unclaimed wilderness between Terra's nations, notably the borders between Ursus, Kazimierz and Columbia.
Background[]
Although the origin of Rusthammer remains unclear, they are known to despise of modern civilizations. In the eyes of Rusthammer, civilizations are nothing more than cages and shackles, enslaving people and making them weak. Every resources on this land should be shared equally and the people have the right to choose their own fate instead of following the "hidden rules" of the modern world.[1] It is said that the Rusthammers never "battle;" they only "destroy" and seek to rid the world of all fetters of modern civilizations so that humanity may be free and strong again.
Rusthammer treats its member as relative equal, referring to each other as brothers and sisters, regardless of age, gender, race, or Infection status. However, anyone who wants to join them must go through a trial in which they must prove themselves capable of surviving the harsh wilderness; only those who can sever themselves from the comfort of the modern world may become Rusthammer. The namesake rusted hammer is a symbol for the attributes necessary to any who dare to live in the wildlands: They need not be sharp, but they must be tenacious.[1]
Despite being loosely organized, Rusthammer's brutal tactics could easily rival any trained soldier using both terrible combat skills and psychological warfare. For example, they annihilated a band of Ursine soldiers who raided a village in Kazimierz long ago.[1] They often utilize ambush tactics, rushing into battle with wild ferocity, sometimes alongside ferocious giant beasts to strike terror into their prey. Within Rusthammer are numerous smaller factions such as a band of Sarkaz known as the "Fiends Gang" and Catastrophe worshippers. In recent years, there is an increasing number of members joining the organization.[2] Currently, with the help of Cannot Goodenough as its middleman, Rusthammer is also having a partnership with remnants of the reorganized Reunion. They are the ones who provided the VTOL for the jailbreak of Talulah.[3]
