Some trust the Legion, Some trade with NCR, and some hate both sides for ruining their own peace. anyone that will pay, and are always searching for more product…"

- The Frontier website description

Scavengers, commonly referred to as scavs, are the general native population of Portland.

Background
The scavengers are not one group but a broad term for the many different people of Portland. From raiders to traders the term scav or scavenger encompasses them all. Scavs are locals that make up the people of the Frontier. Although they originally belonged to different tribes and cultures, throughout the years their ways and traditions assimilated. Now, many of the original natives pledge alliance to one of the major factions in the Frontier, especially to the Northern Legion. Because of the NCR Exiles' history of brutal occupation in the Frontier, many scavs believe the Legion to be a better alternative due to the policies enforced under Legate Valerius' command.
