A former summer villa for a wealthy Mexican family, Casa Roja, or Red House in English has served as a trading post for caravan trade on the former border between Mexico and the United states for close to a century and since the reign of Rey Mateo Segundo of the Kingdom of Mexico it has served as a base for military forces from La Ciudadela until very recently when in the summer of 2281 it was seized by communist partisans and revolutionaries under the banner of Pancho Mendoza and La Legión de la Gente who are currently using the outpost as their forward operating base to use in their war against Rey Cristobol and his reino.
