Nellis

Nellis is a large city formed out of the ruins of an old Air Force Base. Inhabited by a tribe known as the Boomers, these folk are former Vault Dwellers from Vault 34, who left due to disagreements. Nellis and its tribe now serve as not only a major population center within the Free Economic Zone of the Mojave, but also the headquarters of the FEZ's own Air Force. Using a restored bomber, a fleet of vertibirds, and a pair of restored jet fighters, Nellis provides the FEZ with complete air dominance in any conflict, as was shown at the Second Battle for Hoover Dam. 
The Boomers were once highly xenophobic, launching artillery at anyone who treaded too close to their home. Now they are slowly leaving their shells, merchants and caravans travel their regularly, and groups of trusted and proven settlers have been allowed to integrate into their society, especially engineers who can help with their air technology. By 2300 Nellis also hosted a detachment of Securitrons and Mojave Rangers, it also hosted the Mojave's Air Command in its Control Tower. Its most common missions are the launching of Vertibirds for rapid deployment or resupply of the Rangers.
