They are poorly-equipped at the beginning of the game, likely due to the fact they didn't have to fight anything other than mutants as the Swamps were mostly inaccessible prior to the Second Emission. The Clear Sky faction headquarters are located in an isolated village in the Great Swamps. The faction is neutral to all other factions of the Zone, with the exception of Renegades, Bandits and the Monolith. However, unlike the Ecologists, they are more than willing to resort to violence to get their way, and are as fiercely protective of the Zone as Freedom, or even the Monolith. One of the first factions established in the Zone, Clear Sky was dedicated to researching the Zone and learning its inner workings, and are not averse to hiring mercenaries to perform missions, much like the Ecologists faction.
