Das Faust

Description
A nationalist police state within the inner ring of the Metro, Das Faust wishes to control all power in the Metro system. It is characterized by an ideological drive to keep humanity pure of radioactive mutation and impurity, placing an intense focus on purging those who submit to the status quo without aspiring for greatness. Purity and being non-radiated are heavily valued in the faction. Das Faust therefore directly clashes with the Red Line over power and ideological difference. While not as large or influential as the Red Line, Das Faust has accumulated increasing support from neighboring stations as it assimilates them into their legion. Its technological research is notorious for being extremely strong and intricate. The Coalition must find clever methods of dealing with this faction as it is strong and focused on survival and success in its search for power.

Origins
Formed from the remnants of an anti-soviet rebel group, Das Faust gained popular attention quite easily throughout Moscow for their disruptive and generally violent actions. Their method of resisting the Soviet leadership was to consistently harass and publish smear campaigns meant to either terrify or turn the local populace against their government. It is unsurprising that a number of their members were able to escape to the Metro and to continue their struggle in the hallowed corridors. However, the absence of a traditional police force had brought a new dimension to their aggression. Members of Das Faust in the Metro began to accumulate weaponry in greater and greater amounts, bringing forth more and violence in their pursuit of power.

Present Day
Sworn enemies of the Red Line and all that they stand for, Das Faust is in the constant process of waging war against their rivals. Although their influence is much smaller and contained than that of the Red Line or other larger factions, the compactness of their Metro faction enables stronger defensive position, and has proven to be a difficulty for even the Red Line to break through. In the pursuit of survival, the Coalition will more than likely cross their paths sooner or later. What happens as a result of this meeting will be up for delegates to decide.
