It's times like these that one can be glad that the civilizations of y90 lack a Commissariat.

I find it surprisingly easy to imagine Commisar Sigrun.
. . . And her long-suffering batman Mikkel.

Sort of a Nordic, Asatru riff on Guareschi's Comrade Don Camillo? Panzer_Engel > DaveBro
Not. . . Quite.
Unless Peppone were to make a dark pact with the ruinous powers.
(On the other hand, Guareschi's 'local priest versus politicised mayor and his cronies', transplanted to a little village of re-colonists in a recently-declared safe zone somewhere. . .)
So. A small, but growing, community. With the excuse to have any story-triggering newcomers you wish arrive. Two authority figures who both have it's best interests at heart, but are permanently at loggerheads about how they might best be served. Plenty of scope for narrative-driving conflict without the need for violence.
- Although if you feel the need, the Trolls aren't
that far away.
