Regional History

Named Control Station ENCLAVE, this platform is outfitted to ensure the survival of the U.S. government in the event of nuclear annihilation.

Wealthy members of the U.S. government that also have strong conservative and religious values pull funds together to build The Eden Compound, styling it as a modern cathedral to avoid having to pay taxes on the construction.

Workers, representatives, and a host of robobrain engineers that did not make it to safety instead gather on the Vault Crawler to take refuge from the elements. Life sustaining operations are restored, but many of the systems are incomplete and require further maintanence and parts.

Discovering they are trapped inside the Great Dust Bowl, a group of pre-war Mexican nationalists forms a new community to protect their fellow countrymen. After dominating much of the region, they take on the role of enforcers in the ghoul syndicate to cement their position for the long term.

Hit by one of the 2077 warheads, further radiation was emitted after the meltdown at the Poseidon Nuclear Plant that turned the entire populace into ghouls or corpses respectively. Now a seat of power for the regional warlords, it is used to harvest atomic materials for a wide range of uses throughout their empire.

The displaced dwellers of Vault 200 discover the Chryslus showroom and fabrication plant, naming it after the former company's crowning achievement. Although finally sheltered from the harsh environment, many have become ghouls or mutated in similar ways from wandering the Great Dust Bowl for two years. With food and medicine scarce, these survivors turn to raiding and cannibalism before becoming the infamous Corvega City Slavers operation later that same year.

Found with a small population of dwellers completely indoctrinated to Vault Tec, it took little to no convincing to get them to become citizens once they heard Crawler Radio. Their Vault was salvaged for parts, adding functionality and more living space. When news reaches the Corvega City Slavers they put out a bounty for any slaves taken wearing Vault suits out of fury.

The Great Dust Bowl envelopes the surface of the Eden Compound, making ground operations impossible. They remain in limited contact through their satellite uplink with the rest of the Enclave when the storm above permits. Using this as an opportunity, research begins on counters for F.E.V. and harvesting geothermal energies directly from the Earth. Non-essential personnel begin to disappear quietly to fuel these experiments.

One splinter force from the Master ended up under the leadership of a super mutant experimented on with crude cybernetics that were used to enhance his intellect. Swearing to correct the flaws in the F.E.V. and lead his brethren into a new golden era, he founded the Master's Bastards and left east under Brotherhood pursuit. Not prepared for his cunning, he was able to slip his army into the Great Dust Bowl and avoid annihilation like many more of his kind.

Filled with doctors and chemists, this Vault was designed to leak enough radiation to prove harmful to long term health without killing anyone directly. To add insult to injury they were also denied a G.E.C.K., under the idea that this would provide better motivation for scientific breakthroughs. Instead a brutal cartel formed, developing addictive chems to mask the effects of exposure and keep occupants docile enough to prevent a mutiny. After the doors unsealed, they wasted no time joining the Corvega City Slavers who saw them as an opportunity to increase their influence.

Detecting a Vault Tec distress beacon, the Crawler investigated a mysteriously abandoned Vault that had just recently opened. What they found were more questions than answers, leading them to bury their findings and salvage the resources before anyone could poke around too much.

When its true nature is revealed to the First Citizens Council, ( a chem manufacturing operation designed to addict wasterlanders and make them easier to take as slaves), a vote is quickly cast to take the Vault by force. Contacting resistance inside, the doors are opened and The Unstoppables are deployed to make short work of the security. When word reaches the main population of dwellers now cooking their chems out of Corvega City, mercenaries are hired to actively harry the Crawler from this point on and a war begins. The bounty on slaves taken in Vault suits increases to the point that even regular people struggling to get by have trouble keeping their mouths shut.

Discovering architecture and styles that reminded the stranded foreigners of home, the Shi established their new empire in Chinatown. Welcoming likeminded outsiders, they begin working towards solutions for the wasteland's problems.

Working in cooperation with the Thunderbirds, a small group begins putting their book learning and simulation training to the test flying biplanes for simple missions that the Brotherhood can't be bothered with.

With several internal problems, the denizens of Vault 169 manage to trick their door into unsealing a few decades early. Hoping to gain an edge on rival Vaults in the area, they are amazed to see the state of the wasteland and how far their neighbors have already progressed. Instead of expanding, they remain in their home and begin luring others to come to them..

Taking advantage of a common rest stop, a group of traders set up Hostel Crossing to cater to the regional ghoul syndicate leaders. Humans are allowed to do business but should not expect any form of protection should they offend anyone. Some still disappear after following the rules, but it is considered an acceptable loss to most that want access to the rare salvaged wares.

Robotic servitors make their way outside Vault 203 to scout a location for their precious cargo. They fail to detect any acceptable habitats and reseal the the doors only a few months after they opened, though not without a few escapes..

After a canine mysteriously shows up in perfect pre-war condition and gives birth to several litters, a small settlement is given new purpose. They form a protectorate force around the future generations and even make their original guest the mayor.

Locating something under the border of pre-war Kansas and Colorado, the Dunwich Society has deployed an iron curtain over the area to begin excavations.

A lost Vault that has finally opened on schedule two hunder years after the bombs fell. Exposed to FEV experimentation during their time underground, the current population has learned to live with their diverse mutations after overthrowing the current Overseer and installing new leadership. Luckily for the displaced dwellers, they have surfaced during a time that the entrance to their home is located inside the habitable zone. Not so lucky is that thier home is located on a patch of road dubbed the Bastards Highway by a militarized group of west-coast super mutants. Smarter and more capable then their cousins from the east, they would be very interested in getting their hands on the research and pre-war tech stored within.
