It is the year 1998, and the state of CT wakes up to find they have been conquered by a foreign army wearing pirate outfits and flying Jolly Rogers flags as disguise. The pirates are led by a man calling himself, of course, Long James Silver. The rule of the invaders is strict and EM pulses keep technology low, but outlaws still manage to congregate in the hills. The largest group, that of Southington Mt, mounts an invasion of its' own, capturing a key fortress. War has begun.
