Pennsylvania Republican Army

One of two armies operating in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area. It's based on the campus of the old Harrisburg Area Community College, which the PRA has turned into a fortified base. The PRA's leader is Dick Gentry. Although the PRA was essential to helping resettle the Harrisburg area, current rumors say it's on the decline.

Organization
The Pennsylvania Republican Army is organized like a militia, with discreet ranks for its soldiers. Its members are unusually disciplined, thanks to the vision of its leader, General Dick Gentry. Beyond that, you don't know much about the PRA's specific organization structure.

Goals and Operations
The goal of the Pennsylvania Republican Army is to keep order and security in the city of Harrisburg and surrounding areas. It operates in the area east of the Susquehanna River, out to a distance of about twenty miles from the city, and north about twelve miles. The PRA does not officially keep order in the city of Harrisburg itself; that task falls to the local police force.

The PRA also has an outpost in the town of Dauphin, north of Harrisburg on the Susquehanna River's east bank.

Resources
You know very little about the specific resources available to the PRA.

History
The PRA got its start near Philadelphia as a rough band of raiders. Dick Gentry took control and cleaned up the group's act, renaming it and turning it into a more professional militia. Together with his friend Albert Penny, they came up with the idea of reclaiming and restoring Harrisburg about 11 years ago. They were largely successful.

The PRA faces a new challenge, however, with the arrival of the Red Talon Force, about a year ago. The two armies are constantly at odds, and the situation grows tenser by the month.

Politics
Dick Gentry is on good terms with the city's civilian leader, Albert Penny (often called the Magistrate). However, he faces a great deal of pressure from the Red Talon Force and its leader, Violent Feng. There are also rumors of fractures growing inside the PRA. Dick Gentry is said to be growing soft, spending all his time with his new wife, Wu Fen. Things aren't looking good for the PRA.
