The factions are Duty, Monolith, Mercenaries, Freedom, and Bandits. Each faction possesses its own ideology which determines the basic relations among them. For example, the Duty faction consists of ex-military who went into the zone to fight the perils there. They believe it a duty to protect the world from mutant invasion and hence fight against any zone traces. Meanwhile, the Freedom faction consists of anarchists fighting for information about the zone. They openly oppose the military and want to prevent the government from fully controlling the zone. They believe the zone is an ex-military test ground for Third World War weapons and that what happens in the zone must be widely known
