The Polity is the organization that the Vanguard serves. It is engaged in conflict with its main political rival, the Union, after a prolonged period of political tension. Four years after the war's start, the Polity suffered a massive loss of territory, being driven out of the entirety of the United States' eastern seaboard. The faction's forces are expected to be pushed out of North America entirely within six months.
