SITREP:
As the Thirteen-year war between the Coalition of Sovereign Territories (COST) and the United Federal States (UFS) escalates, New Mexico—particularly the town of Playas—has reemerged as a critical hotspot. While the region has long been a focal point for smuggling and strategic maneuvering, new developments are raising fresh concerns.
Recent intelligence suggests that operatives from the long-dormant Pacific State Alliance (PSA) have been spotted operating in the Playas area. Once a powerful third faction headquartered in Desert Center, California, the PSA was thought to be all but destroyed following a devastating UFS strike last year. Their sudden reappearance raises questions about a potential resurgence—and their motives.
Playas has also seen a notable absence of the La Losa Cartel, which previously used the town as a hub for trafficking and looting amid the chaos. Their sudden disappearance may signal internal turmoil or strategic repositioning, especially as COST forces mobilize westward from Texas in preparation for a possible offensive toward New Mexico.
With UFS forces reinforcing the region and PSA operatives rumored to be active once more, the already volatile landscape of Playas now stands on the edge of even greater conflict. Whether the PSA is mounting a comeback or merely scavenging in the shadows remains uncertain—but their presence complicates an already tangled warzone.

HOUSING: PLEASE READ!
As you all are aware this is one of the most sought after training facilities in the country.
Due to a government contract that is in limbo we only have a few houses and apartments to offer up right out of the gate. THERE IS A DROP DEAD DATE we will know by that is AUG 1, 2025. If the contract does not happen the facility will open up 35+ houses for us. We will then make the announcement and open up the tickets here on hopup. They are claiming a pretty good chance that we will get them so hang tight and be patient with us. As a reminder, if you do make reservations at hotels etc: make sure that you can cancel. lol
THE HOUSES TO BE OFFERED ARE AND WILL BE THUR-FRI-SAT nights only. 3 night Rental. Same price as last year. 3BR/2BA-wifi-washer and dryer-full kitchen. 8-10 people in these houses is the norm.
Thank you for your patience and understanding on this.
