New Legions (Canton Madness)

The New Legions are any one of a number of both mercenary and national organizations dedicated to the study, extermination, and recovery from, the Canton Madness.

Society of the Dead

 * Nationality: Originally a group of American volunteers; has grown over the years and now accepts all applicants, regardless of race, creed, religion, or nationality
 * Area of Operation: North America, Australia
 * Modus Operandi: One of the first groups to recognize the merits of the sharpshooter, the Society of the Dead is a strictly military organization. While noted for their efficiency in dispatching the Infected, they devote little time to ensuring that the infection is truly exterminated.  Areas cleared by the Society are often reinfected in a matter of years or even months; unlike other Legions, this Mercenary group does not invest in rebuilding or recovering from an outbreak.

De Zwarte Zwaard

 * Nationality: Officially a Dutch Military Branch; however, it accepts applicants from all nationalities.
 * Area of Operation: The Spice Islands, the Dutch East Indies, the Dutch West Indies, parts of Africa
 * Modus Operandi: De Zwarte Zwaard functions not only as a force of extermination, but also as Large_flag_of_netherlands.gifars, humanitarians, merchants, and a number of other roles. The DZZ actively studies the disease and its effects on both humans and animals; this study led to many dozens of discoveries about CVPE, which in turn led to now universally practised techniques in dealing with the infected, such as burning infected corpses.  In addition, the DZZ has a policy of staying in an area once it has been cleared out, directing reconstruction and other recovery projects so that the next outbreak will be less damaging.  Because of the work of the DZZ, Dutch colonies have become some of the safest places on earth.
