Background

The courier had done all he could to raise his empire in the Mojave, sadly he could not do enough and his hold over the Strip diminished from within. His top general who went by the alias of Ace, turned on him and rose in revolt against the Courier but the revolt was defeated in the first of many battles. The courier had lost over half his followers as they fled the strip and took refuge in Red Rock Caynon. The former inhabitants had been killed years before and the Canyon remained uninhabited, A perfect location for the Dark Hand to settle and raise their power. The courier would send men to assault the Canyon but they always failed...

10 Years on from the rebellion and the Courier drew his last breathe. The news rocked the Mojave, the most influential and tyrannical man had passed. Highly influential men within the organisation Seized the casino's for themselves and a split within the Strip empire had occurred. 4 new factions rose to power all vying for total control over the strip, however it remains to be seen if these men were willing to wage war in the strip itself, or would they use other means to take the strip, such as assassination and diplomacy? The Dark Hand meanwhile are keen to capitalise on this opportunity to move in and take the Strip by force, or at least add more territory to their empire, the ambition of their young leader burns strongly, some say he could bring peace to the land, other say that he will only plunge the land into further war. The NCR sit quietly, they still have most control over the Mojave, occupying everywhere bar Freeside, the Strip, The Fort and Red Rock Canyon. Yet their power is dwindling, many of their elite officers were killed off either at the battle of Hoover damn, or assassinated by the Couriers agents. They face a power struggle between the Chief NCR Rangers and the Generals of the NCR, a civil war could be on hand, but first they most look to defend their territory against the rising powers within the Strip and Red Rock Caynon. The Fort is occupied by remnants of Caesar's Legion, The Fiends and the rest of the bandit gangs. They live together but occasionally class with one another, all they need is a leader to take control and drive them to glory once again.

Redrock Canyon
"Sir, Sir come quick" A private rushed into the barracks of Ace. Ace was the leader of the black hand, he stood at 6'2 with his long black hair flowing behind him. He acknowledged the man but did not respond, he simply glided past him to see what was going on. He was met by a circle of men, and in that circle was his spy from the strip baring news.
"Well" Ace asked demandingly.
"The Courier is dead sir." The man replied overwhelmed with joy. Men and woman began to cheer and celebrate but Ace did not, he walked forward showing no emotions and dropped to his knees and began to weep freely. Ace and the Courier were best friends but greed had gotten the best of both men, destroying their friendship. Ace pulled himself to his feet knowing he had a big task ahead, having already predicted the split into factions, he knew his task was going to be even harder. He summoned his right hand man, Damian, into his barracks to begin discussing what needed to be done.
