Stranded
From Gears of War
| [Source] | |
The Stranded are a group of humans that were left behind in Sera after the Hammer of Dawn counterattack[4]. The Stranded were the people who couldn't get to the Jacinto Plateau. Once the generals of the COG had unleashed the orbital beams on Sera, the Stranded were all left for dead and homeless in the streets of the outlying cities. So, they were alone in the fight against the Locust Horde. After the invasion of the Jacinto Plateau by the Locust, pockets of Stranded are now located inside cities such as Ephyra
, inside the "impregnable" plateau. They are looked on as thieves by Gears, as if they come across any dead Gears or destroyed equipment, they immediately attempt to steal it, as seen during the Lightmass Offensive and the Evacuation of North Gate.

[edit] Their view on the COG
After the orbital bombardment of Sera, there were millions of humans left to fend for themselves. The now-dubbed "Stranded" generally view the COG and the Gears as fascist for sacrificing them to the Locust onslaught[5]. However, with the resurgence of the Locust Horde, the Stranded, while still suspicious and cynical towards the COG, some clans cooperate with the COG to some extent in order to obtain much-needed food and shelter by signing up for Operation Lifeboat, while other clans continue to raid COG squads for goods and weapons[6].
[edit] Lifestyle
The Stranded have overcome their lack of technology by simply utilizing whatever COG equipment they find, such as Lancers and APCs, and constructing crude but functional settlements from wood and scrap metal. They rely heavily on Propane Tanks for fuel. They often have to make do without medical supplies and proper sanitation. The Stranded have several outposts scattered throughout Sera, stocked with ammo and other supplies for Stranded, implying possible trade routes and travel between settlements. Until the Lightmass Offensive and Sinking of Tollen and Montevado, Stranded were able to live on the surface, but those events forced many Stranded to move underground[7][8]. In Franklin's outpost, women have been seen grilling rats and Kryll[citation needed], presumably for eating and as mentioned by Cole Train, they have cows that they slaughter for meat.
