Newcastle was once one of the strongest ports of the North Sea, a keystone in the industrial revolution, and now one of the thousand other industrial cities ground under the heel of the Reich. The devastation caused by the war never truly healed; at best, it was buried under the façade needed for the Germans to keep up their exploitation of the city.

This exploitation is not something that will endure, and Newcastle may once more reclaim it's title as England's northern fortress.
