Oasis town

Hello and welcome back.

Next up is the first township in my 15mm PA world. Oasis lies on the edge of the dried up sea in a territory known as the Dune Sea. The township is kept alive by a small heavily guarded spring. The small town lies within the territory of the Immortals bandit clan. An uneasy truce lies between Oasis and the Immortals as they need a friendly trading post for supplies. The Immortals have claimed the town and provide extra security.

To the south of Oasis lies an old city buried in the sands. Ruined skyscrapers push out of the sands like the fingers of the dead pointing accusingly at the skies. Oasis is visited by traders looking for tech and salvagers risking the ruins. That is a risky prospect as the old ruins are not only dangerous but also haunted by ghouls, mutants, wild dogs and Immortal patrols. 

Oasis is also the last watering hole for those wishing to try crossing the dried up sea. Most are never seen again. The townspeople suspect that the travellers die of heat or thirst out in the sands. No one has ever gone out there to investigate/salvage the wrecks. It is possible something or someone worse lurks out there. Why go stir up extra trouble? 

Oasis has a population of 32. The trading post (Drabbies Junk) is a general trader supplying junk, scrap, tech, weapons and ammo. Drabbies also carries some interesting technological items built by the Immortals bandits. There is a bar (The last chance) which provides beer, water, food and information at a cost. Vehicle repairs and fuel is supplied by Spanners Mc Gloomy.

Power and lights are provided by a wind farm. 

Oasis is inspired by the tradetown of the same name in the Rage 2 computer game. The rage computer games have lots of inspiration for Sci Fi Post Apoc. The Sci Fi feel of the figures means I can use these as Frontier World colony guards in my Wild Galaxy setting.

Thanks for reading.

Take care out there.
