"I like to think that we are Prisoners Of War that managed to escape before capture. I don't know how long it'll be before the Legion crosses the river, but sure as fuck I don't want to be wearing an NCR uniform when they get here." - Layla
The NCR is a nation full of ordinary people.
Men, women, children, stone masons, architects, treasurers, and merchants. They enjoy the freedom of being able to think for themselves, and - in a stark contrast to the Legion - are often (not always, mind you) given the choice to sign up for the military.
But that's just it: The NCR is full of ordinary people.
Unlike the Legion, who are taught from a young age to feel no fear and to charge headfirst into gunfire with nothing but football padding and makeshift knives, the NCR's military is full of ordinary people who either just wanted to serve their nation, were conscripted, or followed their loved ones to the battlefield. They weren't prepared for all the screaming and the blood. No training could prepare someone for such catastrophe, when they've never seen it before in their lives.
Desertion happens. Either out of fear or disillusion, desertion is a fact of life for any military. The NCR is no different.
What this mod does is add NCR Deserters that dot the Mojave's background. From small duos that wander about, doing their best to escape the oncoming onslaught, to small campsites where Deserters gather to plan out their next move. In fact, in a rare few locations, large groups of Deserters have banded together to wreak havoc upon passing travelers and prospectors - becoming Raiders themselves. Hostile to all, especially the NCR and Legion, the Deserters aren't returning to their posts any time soon, and they certainly want to make sure you don't say a word either.
There are several types of Deserters you can encounter, from regular Troopers to Heavy Troopers and even a few Rangers (Not many, though, so that I can appease both sides of the argument that "Rangers no know fear"). These Deserters will often be out of the way of the main roads, often in the foothills or in small abandoned locals off the beaten path.
Yes, they also respawn. They all spawn with a variety of equipment (They're Deserters. They don't care about looking spick-n-span anymore).
For lore reasons as to why these guys are around, let's give the lore-friendly explanation that the NCR is too focused on fighting the Legion to spare the required manpower to root out and capture/kill the deserters.
For balancing sake, you will not encounter any Deserters until after Nipton with the exception of two Troopers that wander the hills and crags somewhere around Primm. No, they don't have premium loot you can only get from them, I just put them there so newbies can get a taste of what's to come.
(Yes, I'm aware that I could've just named it "NCR Deserters", but someone already took the name so I just went with the next thing I could think of. My apologies.)
