FAQ

Yes, we learn the occupation go beyond LA. There are other cities under the control of the RAPs. Halfway through Season One, Snyder brings up other colonies on the west coast in other cities. We know that there at least two more colonies other than LA. They are Santa Monica Bloc(Will tries to go back there to bring back his son Charlie in the pilot episode) and Washington D.C. bloc(In the 9th episode, we see a VIP who is actually a RAP being brought to LA through underground subway). This two blocs are confirmed to be in existence. Dallas was also a colony, but we learn the city had been turned to ruin. It's also known the RAP control is worldwide. We also learn their reach goes beyond Earth.

The Factory is a prison located on the moon, where the occupation sends dissidents for a lifetime of solitude and service.

The invaders are usually referred to as "our hosts" by the Occupation. The security forces are generally referred to as "Red Hats" or, more formally, "Homeland Security" and "Transitional Authority". They're commonly called the RAPs which is short for Raptors, because of the bird of prey logo on their pins and flags. The ones who are in contact with the hosts are the IGA, based out of Switzerland, also known as the Vorläufige Globale Autorität, German for Global Transitional Authority. They are the ones in charge and only answer to the Hosts.

The cars were all impounded by the Occupation. Towards the end of Season One, Will and Beau go to an upper floor of a skyscraper outside of the bloc and see thousands of cars parked on the highway.

The Occupation runs a totalitarian government, meaning the Constitution has no effect on their activities.

Car ownership-Vehicles were impounded by the Occupation, the only people still driving car work for Homeland Security.

Guns-The Occupation declared guns illegal and would kill anyone on site if someone was seen with a weapon. People aren't allow to own handguns while the Occupation is patrolling the Colony with military grade weaponry.

Gatherings-Gatherings not sanctioned or permitted by the Occupation are broken up by Homeland Security.

Assaulting a Peacekeeper-Attacking a Homeland Security Agent will either get someone killed or sent to the Factory. Fighting back against a Peacekeeper will brand someone as a terrorist.

Speaking out against the Occupation-Those who spoke the truth against the Red Hats would be captured and sent to the factory. Sometimes they would be shot on sight.

Breaking Curfew-The Occupation captures anyone they spot outside their homes during curfew and ship them off to the Factory.

Traveling Between and Outside Colonies- Anyone caught outside a Colony are detained or killed, only those with clearance granted by Homeland Security can travel outside the Colonies.

Attempting to Cross the Wall without Clearance-Any caught scaling the Wall are killed, but people going under the Wall are arrested.

Dissidents who have been arrested are sent there to work as slaves. Apparently, liquid of unknown substance is mined and stored in containers there. There is no treating the sick there. Anyone who gets ill there are taken by the Redhats and never seen again.

They are an unseen entity and the masterminds behind the Occupation. Also referred to as RAPs. The only people who had actual contact with them are the senior members of the Transitional Authority. No one else have seen their faces but they are suited in a metallic exoskeleton suit of unknown origin. The suits are so strong, saws can't even cut through them. The suits they wear are also strong enough to help them survive catastrophic situations, from gunfights, to crashes, but doesn't keep them from losing conscience. Their equipment are also radioactive. We learn the Hosts aren't human, they are robotic androids designed by the Occupation.

It is a fictional county from a William Faulkner novel. It is also the name of the bar Katie Bowman owns. The bar is also referred to as the Yonk. During the arrival, Katie was forced to close it but reopened after her husband took a job from Homeland Security.

Several detectives from Homeland Security, including him, faced immediate transfer after Proxy Snyder was forced to step down by the Transitional Authority. While some were transferred to another bureau, others were sent to the Factory. His fate has yet to be known.

Beau escaped the Los Angeles colony through the Dept of Water and power underground tunnel that had been left unsealed. Beau was going to his "fully stocked" cabin he owned in Big Bear. This was near the end of Episode 8 in season one. Both Will and Beau said their goodbys, with Beau's final words: "Watch your six brotha". Will: "Always". The question truly isn't if Beau made it out of the colony that night. The real questions are, did Beau survive the journey once outside to Big Bear. Will obviously knew the location as the plan was for Katie and the kids to go with Beau and Will would meet them all there later after retrieving Charlie from Santa Monica. From the beginning of season three, the fact that Will and his family start out in a well stocked cabin in Big Bear, leads me to believe that its Beau's cabin, and sadly the untold conclusions could be 1. Beau never made it to the cabin, or 2. He made it to his cabin, but was killed by one of the Walker drones a while before Will and family made it to his cabin.

No, some criminals are sent to detention camps, depending on the level of the crime. Any actions that would potentially hurt the Occupation would sent dissidents to the Factory, but low level criminals are sent to camps, where if they behave, they are released, but if they get out of line, it's either execution or the Factory for them.

It is nothing more than religious indoctrination from the RAPs. The hosts speak of an event called the Greatest Day, and built a religion around it. They used churches as their sanctuaries and removed anything involving Jesus or the cross from those churches and replaced them with their own symbols. We learn later it was complete BS from the Occupation to give the people hope.

It is the clearing of an entire block. Everyone who is evacuated is sent to the Factory, especially those who served the Transitional Authority without question. Those who remained behind in the block are obliterated.

Homeland Security: A fascist unit known as the RedHats, or RAPs. They police the populace after the Arrival with brute force and intimidation. They carry out their orders without question. The RAPs dawned only in black are a more elite unit that answers to authorities outside the Colonies.

Transitional Authority: The political force in charge of their individual blocks. While they answer to a higher authority, the RedHats answer to them. They are responsible for anything that happens in their block.

APIS Cell: The Resistance in Los Angeles, led by Broussard. Originally meant to be a startup company that used tiny vehicles and aircrafts, however, when the Occupation arrived, they used their ingenuity to fight the RedHats. They radioed out to people under an assumed name, Geronimo.

The Hosts: The main antagonists who are behind the global takeover. The real deciders of the world. Known to wear exoskeleton suits that are hard to cut through. We learn they are not human, but robots built in tough armor.

Warlords: A violent gang that runs the Santa Monica block with the blessing of the Occupation. True criminals known to round up people and use children for their bidding.

Red Hand: A terrorist cell intent on killing anyone who would collaborate with the Occupation, even if it's to save their own skin; women and children. Led by Karen Brun. Known to leave bloody hand prints at the location of their attacks. Their motto is "You Collaborate, You Die!"

Intelligence Directorate: Also called the Blackjacks. A special team in black suits who only answer to the IGA. Able to move freely from Colony to Colony. Have the ability to control drones.

The technology they used were not from Earth. The Hosts supplied the RAPs with High-Tech advanced equipment. The 'Hosts' reached out to those who would soon run the government and gave them tech beyond their capabilities. Also, most of the Armed Forces members were killed.
