I have done a bit of work on the Maine coast--all non-canon, of course, but folded into the existing body of work so as to create as few wrinkles as possible. Others are free to use as much or as little of Poseidon’s Rifles as they see fit. In Poseidon’s Rifles, Bath Iron Works is firmly under the control of First District, USCG. Shortages of everything have prevented the facility from doing much besides repairing USCGC Gallatin and whatever shipping Milgov sends up to the District. The foundation of the food situation is fishing. Under the protective watch of Coast Guard cutters, fishing fleets from the District exploit the waters off coastal Maine and as far away as the Grand Banks. A truce that is much warmer than Milgov would like marks the relationship between the District and the United Brotherhood of Fishermen (UBF)(Last Submarine) up through 4/1/01. By the end of 2000, survivors in the District cantonments are growing their own food just like everybody else; but the fishing got a relatively high population through that first winter and growing season. As a result, about 85% of the surviving population of Maine lives on a narrow coastal strip under the protection of the United States Coast Guard.
