The Guardians start with two national spirits:

The Lubbock Expedition icon
The Lubbock Expedition
  • Stability: +5.00%
  • Infantry Technology Research Speed: +10%
  • Land Doctrine Research Speed: +10%
Although primarily sent west to patrol the I-20, the so-called "Lubbock Expedition" from Lone Star has benefitted us in other ways than mere protection. Lone Star units have improved our knowledge of military affairs, and have proven to be reliable mediators between the ghoul and human sectors of Lubbock itself.

So long as the Lubbock Expedition remains in our lands, we shall provide Lone Star military access and receive a guarantee, units and an expeditionary general in return.
Human-Ghoul Tensions icon
Human-Ghoul Tensions
  • Division Organization: -0.0
  • Recruitable Population Factor: -10%
  • Stability: -5.00%
Lubbock is split in half. In the centre of town humans dominate, and around the airport the Ghouls' have their central clusters. Tension bubbles away under the surface due to the division, but much work has been done by Mayor Irving Watts to heal the long-held suspicion both sides held for each other. Without him, and the help provided by Lonestar, civil war may have gripped Lubbock long ago.
