JerseyAcross the Hudson from Manhattan, New Jersey plays home to the nearest Human Fortress in the region. Built to keep all the dangers of the outside world out, the scientists and researchers from within work feverishly towards a cure for the devastating Walker Virus. Most of the people inside the fortress do not leave, and while some stragglers dot the landscape adjacent to the fortress, the two rarely interact. In fact, the stragglers probably hope they don't interact... For them, the human survivors are often more dangerous and hostile than the Walkers themselves.
For many of the unpowered humans in the region, they retreated into the fortress known as Vectorville. With its towering dark walls and extensive city planning, the fortress is as much a citadel as it is a town. Many of the unpowered humans within the fortress have never wandered past the gate, and the fortress is their only protection. For many of the stragglers in the region, a spot in the fortress is something to yearn for, but the current policies of Vectorville means that any scout parties and task forces are things to fear.
