Recent Warfare

In the past twenty years, Bauxite has been ravaged by brutal guerilla attacks from Baantha-Mounted Tuscan Raiders (see: Sand People) motivated by a combination of ideologies preaching racial and religious superiority as well as multiple border disputes on the fringes of the city. Known for their abruptness as well as their efficiency, these attacks have been the largest motivator for the severe drop in population in the area, with hysteria towards the recent zombie (see: living dead) infestation in the southern area of the state only adding to the drop.
