Wow! What an amazing start.

Looking forward to getting my pledge in at the end of the week.
I love the background prof. Very nicely thought out. I'm imagining huge sprawling shanty towns made of scraps of sheeting with electrical cables and service hatches everywhere.
As for the future releases (which I'm pretty sure you have in hand already) I'd like to see some of the bandits/rebels, some guards/hired muscle for the traders and some kind of law enforcement forces. Nowhere near full military spec, just some hard pressed type of local constabulary officers.
