Scavenger Factions

Scavenger Factions

ELEMENT │ FACTION

Scavenger factions are cultures, civilizations, groups, or other factions that scavenge material to survive. They may be searching for food and other resources or scouring the landscape looking for items to sell to make a living. Fictional scavenger factions are commonly found in post-apocalyptic wastelands, junkyards, or piloting spaceships through the debris fields of galactic battles. Scavenger factions may also be nomadic or raider factions.

Synonyms: hunters, gatherers, scroungers
Example Mythonyms: Magpies of the Desert Wastes, Hyenas
