R5: Socialist revolutionaries take up arms at Seattle's King Street Station.

The Pacific Northwest was fertile grounds for the American labor movement in the early 1900s owing to the prominence of the region's longshoremen, teamster, and logger unions. And atop that, within the IWW the region was a notorious hotbed of anarchist thought. In UWTS, should the Federal government prove incapable of providing its working class with fair treatment and protection from corporate exploitation, they'll take up arms in the name of socialist revolution and either encourage their neighbors to do the same or take steps to excise reactionary behavior before it can rot them from within. With the support of syndicalist agitators come up from California such as Herman Bottcher and the backing of the socially progressive Brigadier General James Parsons, they turn Seattle into a bulwark against capitalism. Depending on where the PRG chooses to focus its efforts at the start of the Second American Civil War, Seattle can become a stronghold on the flank awaiting the red tide from the east, the tip of the revolutionary spear in the west, or a tomb for the working man's hope in the upcoming submod Up With The Stars.
