The '''Enclave''' is the self-proclaimed continuation of the United States government. Founded by a secret cabal of political, military, and corporate elites, they retreated to fortified bunkers and offshore installations just before the Great War to survive the nuclear apocalypse they helped facilitate.

They are the most technologically advanced human organization in the known world. They are also the most dangerous.

<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #556b2f; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#8a9a4a; font-style:italic;">"We are the United States of America. We never fell. We never surrendered. And we are coming back."</blockquote>

== History ==

=== 2077: The Great War and the Great Retreat ===
Immediately following the nuclear exchange, the Enclave leadership activated their continuity of government protocols. While the primary leadership fled to the '''Control Station Enclave''' (an oil rig off the coast of California), regional branches took command of specialized bunkers across the continent.

* '''The Appalachian Branch:''' Led by Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart, this group occupied the Whitespring Bunker. Eckhart was an extremist who believed the war was not "won." He murdered his superiors to seize control and declare himself President.
* '''The Poseidon Oil Rig:''' The "Main Branch" established their base of operations here, overseeing the various regional outposts from afar.

=== 2102: The Appalachian Civil War ===
The Enclave in West Virginia faced an internal ideological split that would ultimately lead to their localized extinction.

|-
| style="color:#ff8888; font-weight:bold;" | The Hardliners || Led by Thomas Eckhart. Wanted to trigger a second nuclear exchange to destroy any remaining communist threats.
|-
| style="color:#88cc88;" | The Reformers || Led by General Ellen Santiago. Questioned Eckhart's sanity and his abandonment of actual American reconstruction in favor of global destruction.
|}

'''The Outcome:''' The conflict ended in a bloody stalemate. A rogue AI named '''MODUS''' (Multi-Operation Direction and Utility System) eventually killed the remaining human occupants after they attempted to sabotage its systems.

=== 2242: The Fall of Western Command ===
The destruction of the Oil Rig by the "Chosen One" is a pivotal moment in Enclave history. The loss of the President and the Rig forced the Enclave to transition from a global superpower to a migratory force. Surviving members, led by Scientist Autumn Senior, began a "Great March" toward the East Coast.

=== 2277: The Capital Wasteland Campaign ===
By this year, the Enclave had re-established a massive presence at '''Raven Rock''' and '''Adams Air Force Base''' in Washington, D.C.

|-
| style="color:#ff8888; font-weight:bold;" | John Henry Eden || A sentient ZAX supercomputer that believed it was the reincarnation of all great American Presidents. Hardliner - proposed using a modified FEV to commit global genocide against anyone with mutated DNA.
|-
| style="color:#88cc88;" | Colonel Augustus Autumn || Son of Autumn Senior. '''Pragmatist''' - rejected Eden's genocidal plan, preferring to use the region's water supply as a political tool to force the population to accept Enclave rule.
|}

'''The Outcome:''' The Enclave was decisively defeated by the Brotherhood of Steel. This marked the end of the Enclave as an organized, open military government on the East Coast.

=== 2281: The Mojave Remnants ===
In the West, the Enclave no longer existed as a political entity. Instead, small squads of soldiers from the original Western branch lived in hiding.

'''The Remnants:''' Led by Judah Kreger, this "branch" was actually a group of aging veterans. They were no longer loyal to the Enclave's purist ideology, having integrated into wasteland society as doctors, pilots, and scavengers. They represented the "humanized" Enclave - choosing to use their technology to assist in the Battle of Hoover Dam based on personal conviction.

=== 2287: Commonwealth Echoes ===
Following the defeat in D.C., small splinter cells and "Black Ops" units remained active in the North.

These units, referred to in logs as '''Echo Sites''', were tasked with salvaging lost technology and establishing secret outposts. They operated without a central President, functioning more like a decentralized paramilitary organization. They remained hostile to all outsiders, maintaining the old "purity" standards.

=== 2296: The Research Resurgence ===
Decades after their major defeats, a highly organized and secretive Enclave branch has emerged.

! style="background:#1a1e0a; color:#8a9a4a; padding:6px;" | Details
|-
| '''Strategy''' || Shifting away from open warfare, this branch focuses on advanced bio-engineering and energy physics. They operate with extreme secrecy.
|-
| '''Ideology''' || This version of the Enclave is more calculated. They view themselves as the ultimate stewards of the planet's future, possessing '''Cold Fusion''' technology required to restart civilization.
|-
| '''Goal''' || Less interested in immediate genocide - more interested in the total control of planetary resources and the technological infrastructure of the new world.
|}

== Technology ==
The Enclave fields the most advanced equipment in the known world:

== Threat Assessment ==
<blockquote style="background:#1a0a0a; border-left:4px solid #aa3333; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#dd6666; font-style:italic;">"The Enclave is not a faction. The Enclave is a threat classification. Treat accordingly." - Brotherhood Field Manual, 509th Chapter</blockquote>

Every major faction in the Wendover region views the Enclave as a threat:

! style="background:#1a1e0a; color:#8a9a4a; padding:6px;" | Notes
|-
| [[Brotherhood of Steel]] || '''Kill on Sight''' || The Brotherhood has fought the Enclave twice and won. They will not allow a third round to begin on Enclave terms.
|-
| [[New California Republic|NCR]] || Hostile || The NCR views the Enclave as a rogue military government and a direct threat to democratic governance.
|-
| [[Caesar's Legion]] || Hostile || The Legion respects strength but the Enclave's technology represents everything Caesar sought to destroy.
|-
| [[Townsfolk]] || Fearful || Civilians have heard the stories. The Enclave means forced relocation at best, extermination at worst.
|-
| [[Wastelanders]] || Hostile || To the Enclave, unaffiliated wastelanders are mutated subhumans. The feeling is mutual.
|-
| [[Followers of the Apocalypse]] || Hostile || The Followers represent everything the Enclave despises - freely shared knowledge and humanitarian weakness.
|-
| [[Outlaws]] || Hostile || Raiders are vermin to be cleansed. The Enclave does not negotiate with bandits.

== Power Armor ==
The pinnacle of pre-war military technology. Power Armor transforms a single soldier into a walking tank - but it is rare, heavily regulated, and not available to most factions.

The virus transformed them into massive, green-skinned creatures of immense physical power and near-total radiation immunity. The cost was severe: most lost higher cognitive function, becoming violent and territorial. Some, however, retained their intelligence - and with it, their capacity for choice.

== Physical Characteristics ==

* '''1.5× human scale''' - visually and physically larger than any human
* Extreme physical strength and resilience
* Near-total radiation immunity
* Greatly extended lifespan (centuries, with no confirmed upper limit)
* Skin coloration ranges from olive green to deep yellow-green

Both roles require '''whitelist approval''' and lock the player to the Super Mutant species with restricted customization options.

== Relations ==
Super Mutants occupy an uneasy position in the Wasteland. Most factions regard them with fear, hostility, or both. Individual Super Mutants may earn tolerance - or even grudging respect - through their actions, but the default assumption from every settlement and patrol is that a Super Mutant is a threat until proven otherwise.

== Hostile NPC Robots ==
The Wasteland is home to many '''hostile NPC robots''' that are '''not''' player-controlled. These are pre-war units whose programming has degraded into permanent hostility. They belong to the '''HostileRobot''' NPC faction and attack on sight.

◈ Outlaws ◈ Gangs of the I-80 Corridor ◈ Wendover Region ◈
</div>{{FactionInfobox|name=Outlaws|color=#3a7a2a|status=Active - Fragmented|location=I-80 Corridor, Northern Utah<br>Bonneville Salt Flats, Great Salt Lake|leader=Various Gang Leaders|ideology=Survival of the Strong<br>Take What You Need|motto=''The road belongs to those who hold it''|affiliation=Independent Gangs}}The '''Outlaws''' are the raiders, bandits, and gang fighters who haunt the I-80 corridor and the Bonneville Salt Flats. They are not a single organization - they are a collection of violent, loosely-affiliated gangs, each with their own methods, territory, and leadership. What unites them is a willingness to take what they need by force and a refusal to kneel to any flag.

Wendover sits at the crossroads of their territory. Every faction that builds a wall here paints a target on it.

== The Eighties ==
The most feared name on the I-80 corridor. The Eighties take their name from the interstate itself - the old pre-war freeway that runs through northern Utah and out past the Great Salt Lake. They have been operating in this region longer than most factions care to remember.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #3a7a2a; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#80b060; font-style:italic;">"Raiders is raiders. Bunch of them swept into town and dragged off two working girls. Deputies gave pursuit, straight into Eighties territory. By the time we caught up, there wasn't much left of them. If the Eighties had wanted to kill us, we would've been dead. Guess they figured we weren't worth the trouble."</blockquote>The Eighties are rightly feared for their ability to cover vast amounts of territory with very few men. They raid frontier towns for supplies and are known for kidnapping - and worse. Engaging them in the open salt flats or along the freeway is a losing proposition for most organized patrols. They know the terrain. They know where to disappear. And they have been doing this longer than anyone currently stationed at Wendover has been alive.

Their presence in the region means that no supply line is safe, no settlement is truly secure, and any faction that extends itself too far from its walls will find out what the Eighties think of trespassers.

== The Gangs ==
Each Outlaw gang operates with its own style, methods, and reputation. All are dangerous. None are predictable.

=== Khans ===
The Khans are the most organized of the Outlaw gangs - a structured raider crew that values loyalty, territory, and controlled aggression. They maintain supply lines, defend their turf, and hit hard when provoked. They are not mindless - they are methodical.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #3a7a2a; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#80b060; font-style:italic;">"Keep your crew supplied, fight smart, and hold your ground."</blockquote>

=== Jackals ===
The Jackals are fast-strike raiders who prize speed and evasiveness above raw firepower. They hit supply convoys, loot what they can carry, and vanish before a response can be organized. If you are chasing Jackals, you have already lost.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #3a7a2a; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#80b060; font-style:italic;">"Strike quickly, loot efficiently, and disappear before the counterattack."</blockquote>

=== Vipers ===
The Vipers use fear as a weapon. Intimidation, ambush tactics, and psychological warfare are their tools. They break resistance before the first shot is fired - and if they have to fire, they make it count.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #3a7a2a; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#80b060; font-style:italic;">"Use intimidation and speed to break resistance and secure the haul."</blockquote>

=== Gunners ===
The Gunners are the heavy-weapons specialists of the Outlaw gangs. Where other gangs hit and run, Gunners dig in and lay down overwhelming fire. They pin targets down and grind through defenses. What they lack in subtlety, they compensate for with sheer destructive output.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #3a7a2a; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#80b060; font-style:italic;">"Bring the heavy firepower and pin enemies down for your gang."</blockquote>

=== Fiends ===
The Fiends are the most dangerous and least predictable of the Outlaw gangs. Chem-fueled, aggressive, and relentless - they attack without warning and do not stop until the target is destroyed or they are. Fighting Fiends is not a tactical problem. It is a survival problem.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #3a7a2a; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#80b060; font-style:italic;">"Cause chaos, pressure the enemy line, and never let up."</blockquote>

The tribe endures.''|affiliation=Independent - Tribal}}'''Tribes''' are among the oldest post-war social structures in the Wasteland. Long before the NCR organized a government or the Brotherhood fortified a bunker, tribal communities formed from survivors who stayed together through kinship, shared land, and shared belief. They have endured for over two centuries through deep environmental knowledge, oral tradition, and fierce community bonds.

Each tribe is shaped entirely by its Chieftain. The Chieftain's philosophy defines whether the tribe is peaceful or aggressive, isolationist or open to trade, suspicious of technology or eager to adopt it.

== Philosophy ==
<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #5a7a30; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#80a840; font-style:italic;">"Tribal societies place community over individual ambition and oral history over written records. They possess environmental knowledge that outsiders entirely miss - which plants are edible, which ruins are stable, which seasonal patterns the Wasteland follows. What all tribes share is a fierce will to survive on their own terms."</blockquote>

They are the beating heart of every Fallout story: wanderers who walk into every situation without a predetermined role and walk out having shaped it.

No two Wastelanders are alike. Former raiders who went straight. Travelers heading somewhere better. Drifters who have been walking since before they can remember. What they share is a refusal to be defined by anyone else's war.

'''Overdose rule:''' Overdose can push you to '''critical but never kill you''' directly. Damage scales with excess chemical concentration (0.05 per excess unit).

== Addiction System ==
Using combat chems builds chemical dependency over time. When a chem wears off, '''withdrawal''' begins.

=== Withdrawal Tiers ===
Withdrawal severity depends on how long ago the chem wore off:
{| class="wikitable" style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #aa44aa; width:80%;"
! style="background:#14080a; color:#cc77cc; padding:6px; width:24%;" |Tier

|-
| style="color:#ff6666; font-weight:bold;" |Severe
|> 120 seconds
|Maximum speed penalty, stamina drain, health damage, mood effects
|-
|'''Moderate'''
|60 – 120 seconds
|Reduced penalties, still noticeable performance impact
|-
|'''Mild'''
|15 – 60 seconds
|Minor penalties, the worst has passed
|-
| style="color:#88cc88;" |'''Fading'''
|< 15 seconds
|Nearly clean. Hold on.
|}
Withdrawal effects tick every '''15 seconds''' and include:

* '''Speed penalties''' - movement speed reduced (per-drug, 0.70× to 0.90×)
* '''Stamina drain''' - stamina depletes faster (2.0 to 8.0 per tick)
* '''Health damage''' - some drugs cause direct brute or burn damage during withdrawal
* '''Mood effects''' - negative mood modifiers until clean

|'''Pre-War Money'''
|Old-world paper currency. Worthless as legal tender but collected as a curiosity, used as kindling, or traded to those who value pre-war artifacts.

== Wallets ==
'''Wallets''' (belt or ID slot) can hold multiple currency types and keep your money organized. All items tagged as '''Currency''' are eligible for wallet storage.

== Economic Notes ==

* Bottlecaps are the '''default medium of exchange''' throughout the Wasteland
* NCR Dollars trade at '''half value''' - two dollars for one cap's worth of goods
* Legion currency is accepted widely due to its '''metal content''' (gold and silver), regardless of political alignment
* Pre-War Money has '''no standardized trade value''' - its worth depends entirely on who wants it

Equipped with Pip-Boys and Vault jumpsuits, they emerge into a world nothing could have prepared them for.

Every Vault was an experiment. Not every experiment was humane. What the Dwellers know - or don't know - about their Vault's true purpose shapes everything that follows.

== The Vault ==
Vault-Tec built 122 known Vaults across the United States. Most were social experiments - controlled environments designed to test human behavior under extreme conditions. Some Vaults were benign. Others were not.

The Vault's systems - water purification, hydroponics, medical bays, the Pip-Boy network - are pre-war technology that the surface world has lost. This makes Vault Dwellers simultaneously invaluable and vulnerable: everyone wants what they have, and most Dwellers are not prepared for what the Wasteland demands.

Medicine. Hope.''|affiliation=Independent - Non-Aligned}}The '''Followers of the Apocalypse''' were founded in the ruins of the Los Angeles Public Library - a group that believed knowledge, medicine, and education were more powerful tools for rebuilding civilization than any weapon or army. They have grown into one of the most respected organizations in the post-war West, running free clinics, teaching the illiterate, and maintaining one of the largest accessible archives of pre-war knowledge.

They are non-violent. They are non-aligned. And they will help anyone.

<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #4a8a30; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#90b060; font-style:italic;">"The old world ended because people chose power over people. Our answer is to refuse that choice entirely. We document so mistakes are not forgotten. We educate so the cycle of ignorance cannot repeat. We treat the sick because suffering is not a political variable."</blockquote>The Followers believe that the Great War was caused by humanity's unwillingness to share knowledge and resources. Their response is radical openness - free clinics, free education, and freely shared pre-war records. This philosophy puts them in direct conflict with the Brotherhood of Steel, who believe dangerous technology must be locked away rather than distributed.

◈ Caesar's Legion ◈ Pactum Ferri - Legio Vera ◈ Salt Column ◈
</div>{{FactionInfobox|name=Caesar's Legion|color=#9B1111|status=Active - Legio Vera / Pactum Ferri|location=Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah<br>I-80 Corridor|leader=Legate Ferro Maro (Salt Column)|ideology=Neo-Roman Tribalism<br>Order Through Absolute Discipline|motto=''Ave, true to Caesar''|affiliation=Pactum Ferri (Legio Vera)}}'''Caesar's Legion''' stands as a force of absolute order, forged from the conquest and assimilation of over eighty-six tribes across the former American Southwest. Built on the doctrines of Caesar himself, the Legion rejects the degeneracy of the Old World and the weakness of those who cling to its remnants.

''Caesar is dead. The fire that forged the Legion has gone out. What survives the cooling will prove whether the work was real.''

The Legion's presence in this region belongs to the '''Salt Column''', commanded by '''Legate Ferro Maro'''. They have held the Bonneville Salt Flats for three years. They will continue to hold it.

== History and Current Affairs ==

=== The Death of Caesar ===
Caesar is gone. What he left behind is not grief - it is a question: what was built here, and does it stand without him? The Legion was designed to outlast its founder. Whether it does so depends entirely on the character of those who remain.

=== The Claim of Lacerta ===
Before his death, Caesar named no successor publicly. A man named Lacerta moved the moment Caesar fell. He destroyed the record of succession. He killed the witness. He put on the Laurels. These are not the actions of a man who was named. A man who was named has no reason to do any of that. '''Lacerta is a pretender.'''

=== The Pactum Ferri ===
Two columns have aligned against Lacerta's advance.

* The '''Salt Column''' under Legate Ferro Maro has held the Bonneville Salt Flats for three years. Ferro Maro is a man of arithmetic - Lacerta's character is settled, his trajectory is known, and Ferro Maro intends to stop him.
* The '''Cinder Cohort''' marches under Legate Verus Caldius. Where Ferro Maro is measured, Caldius is deliberate in a different way - he intends to make the cost of every mile felt, bleeding the pretender's column pass by pass until doubt spreads like rot through timber.

Together these two columns form the '''Pactum Ferri''', sometimes called ''Legio Vera''. They are not rebels. They are the Legion.

=== The Salt Column's Position ===
The Salt Column holds Wendover and the Bonneville Salt Flats, anchored along the I-80 corridor at the Utah-Nevada line. The flats offer no cover, no comfort, and no room for self-deception. This position commands the approach from the west. Lacerta's eventual advance from New Vegas runs through this ground.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #9B1111; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c08080; font-style:italic;">"The Salt Column has held this ground in conditions that would have broken a lesser force. We will continue to hold it. Ave. - Legate Ferro Maro, Salt Column, Caesar's Legion"</blockquote>

== The Code of the Legion ==
Every Legionary, from the freshest Recruit to the Centurion himself, is bound by the will of Caesar. These are not suggestions - they are the sinew that holds the Legion together.
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #9B1111; width:70%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 14px;" |
* Obey the orders of your superiors without question or delay
* Wear your uniform and bear your arms as a servant of Caesar. You are his face in the wastes
* Never kill a fellow servant of Caesar without just cause. Disputes of honor are settled through the duel
* Do not rely on the crutches of the Old World. Stimpaks, advanced chems, and the armor of tyrants weaken the body and corrupt the spirit
* Take no chems, alcohol, or narcotics. Acceptable remedies are those derived from the land
* Prisoners taken in the field are a resource. Deal with them with creativity and purpose. Lethal force is permitted if they resist
* Cannibalism is a taboo and is not to be discussed openly
* The Legion does not attack those without cause
* Technology captured in the field may be used at the Centurion's discretion. Radios, night-vision, and illumination tools are acceptable. Power armor, cyborg units, and medical beam weapons are not
|}

== Command Structure ==
The Legion operates through an unbroken chain of command. Authority flows downward. Obedience flows upward. There is no middle ground.

=== Camp Roles ===
{| class="wikitable" style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #9B1111; width:100%;"
! style="background:#2a0a0a; color:#ff8080; padding:6px; width:20%;" |Role

|-
|'''Slave'''
|The lowest station. Slaves serve all above them and are marked by collar and tattoo. Put to work farming, cooking, mining, crafting, and healing. Faithful labor is protected; insubordination is punished up to crucifixion. Loyal slaves may in time be elevated.
|}

== Medical Provisions ==
The Legion rejects the chemical degeneracy of the Old World. The body is a weapon; to poison it with manufactured substances is to dishonor Caesar. However, this is made optional via the active playing Centurion in how they exactly follow.
{| class="wikitable" style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #9B1111; width:80%;"
! style="background:#2a0a0a; color:#ff8080; padding:6px; width:15%;" |Status

|-
| style="color:#cc6666;" |'''Forbidden'''
|Morphine, Rad-X, Stimpaks, Brute/Burn Patches, Med-X, Jet, Buffout, Psycho, Alcohol
|}
''Note: RadAway is found naturally in Punga. Use only when a Legionary faces severe radiation exposure. Bagged sources found in the field are acceptable.''

== Prisoners and Slaves ==
'''Prisoners''' taken in the field are a resource to be managed with intelligence and purpose, not simply disposed of. A prisoner may serve as leverage, a labor source, an intelligence asset, or a candidate for eventual service. Officers are expected to exercise judgment. Crucifixion is available as a sentence - but it is not the default answer to every capture.

'''Slaves''' within the camp serve at the pleasure of Caesar's Legion and are under the protection of its members, provided they conduct themselves with obedience and humility. They are not to be abused arbitrarily - the Legion requires their labor and cooperation. Insubordination, refusal to work, or disrespect toward Legionaries will be met with appropriate consequences.{{FactionNav}}

◈ New California Republic ◈ Salt Dogs Battalion ◈ Bonneville Station ◈
</div>{{FactionInfobox|name=New California Republic|color=#C8A200|status=Active - Forward Deployed|location=Bonneville Station, Nevada side<br>Wendover Bridge Corridor|leader=Major Blackhawk & Major Walker<br>Ranger DAGGER-02 (Intel)|ideology=Democratic Federalism<br>Rule of Law · Expansionism|motto=''Bear the Republic's burden''|affiliation=New California Republic}}The '''New California Republic''' (NCR) stands as a beacon of democracy and order in the wasteland - a federal presidential republic rooted in old values of democracy, personal freedom, and the sanctity of law. Founded by Aradesh and his daughter Tandi in Shady Sands, it is now led by President Aaron Kimball. The NCR's mission is to restore civilization, uplift infrastructure and economic frameworks, and foster peace. But the Republic is not devoid of flaws: it grapples with expansion, territorial disputes, wavering loyalties, and rising corruption.

== Bonneville Station ==

=== The Salt Dogs Battalion ===
The NCR's foothold east of Nevada is held by the '''Salt Dogs Battalion''', garrisoned at Bonneville Station on the Nevada side of the Wendover bridge. The Utah side is maintained as a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge itself is a permanent NCR asset - it does not change hands.

The battalion is commanded jointly by '''Major Blackhawk''' and '''Major Walker'''. Intelligence operations are coordinated by '''DAGGER-02''', a Ranger attached from regional command.

Wendover sits at the last real chokepoint before Utah opens into open wastes. I-80 runs through it. The salt trade runs through it. Whatever moves east or west in this region moves through Bonneville, and the Salt Dogs are there to make sure the NCR has a say in how it moves.

=== Strategic Context: DAGGER-02 Field Report ===
<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic; font-family:serif;">"Station is established. Major Blackhawk and Major Walker are on the ground and operational.

I'll be plain: given the current situation back home, I'm not certain who is reading this or in what capacity anymore. I'm filing it anyway. That's the job.

We're here for I-80 and salt. Wendover is the last real chokepoint before Utah opens up. The salt funds the operation, which matters more now than it did when we were assigned here.

Nevada side of the bridge is home base. Utah side is a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge stays ours.

The Brotherhood has dug into the old airfield on the Utah side. They're not here by accident and they aren't telling us why. Nothing actionable yet. Legion presence has been noted in the region. Unknown which Legio, considering the civil war. Extent and intent unknown. Command should consider this when reviewing resupply prioritization.

- DAGGER-02, attached, Bonneville Station

Co-signed: Major Blackhawk, Major Walker - Salt Dogs Battalion, NCR"</blockquote>

== Laws ==
Dictated by the constitution of the Republic, every citizen of the NCR - civilian or military - must follow these laws.

It is a crime to '''take the life of another''', be it murder or manslaughter. These acts are harshly punished; depending on severity, punishment can reach execution. It is a crime to '''steal from another''' regardless of circumstances, punishable by prison with the possibility of parole.

=== Basic Rights ===
All citizens hold the following universal rights which may not be infringed upon:
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:60%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* The right to own personal property
* The right to freedom of expression, religion, and speech
* The right to self-defense
* The right to bear a sidearm and concealed carry inside NCR-controlled territories
* The right to enlist
* The right to an attorney
* The right to remain silent in cases of self-incrimination
* The right to a fair trial
|}
In the case of criminal arrest, all rights barring the right to remain silent, to a fair trial, and to an attorney are suspended.

=== Treason ===
All acts of treason are, in most cases, punishable by death. Includes: fraternizing with or providing information to an enemy of the state, terrorism, desertion, and dereliction of duty.

=== Fraudulent Activities ===
Punishable by prison or voluntary labor. Includes: money laundering, identity theft, falsification of reports or official documents, forgery of currency, and the sale/distribution of illicit substances (Jet, Psycho, Turbo).

== New California Republic Army (NCRA) ==
The defense forces of the Republic. The NCRA must tackle conflicts in a non-aggressive way - de-escalate first, deal with threats using the minimum force possible.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic;">"The mission of the NCR is to uphold the law in the region, as well as trying to gain anything valuable - trading with major powers or settlements, or obtaining resources from the area. Expansionism is allowed but only by diplomacy or to expel a threat. Keeping a good image of the Republic is key."</blockquote>

=== Basic Principles ===
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:65%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* Follow the rules of war and human rights
* Obey the chain of command
* While on duty, do not drink alcohol or gamble
* Treat prisoners with respect and dignity; field execution requires officer or High Command authorization
* Wear your uniform at all times. Dog tags and rank pins must always be visible
* Going off-duty requires chain-of-command approval; always ask command before stepping down
|}
'''Field Promotions''' are legal. An NCO may promote enlisted personnel; a CO may promote an NCO for exceptional service. Cannot promote between branches, nor skip from enlisted to officer.

|}

== New California Republic Rangers (NCRR) ==
The Rangers - originally descended from Pre-War Rangers - are the elite soldiers of the NCR. A volunteer special force renowned for survival, reconnaissance, scouting, sabotage, and martial arts. Their primary purpose is dealing with threats the regular NCRA cannot handle.

The Rangers are the living image of NCR ideals of liberty, justice, and freedom from tyrants, slavers, and raiders.

* A '''Ranger''' holds authority equivalent to a Sergeant.
* A '''Veteran Ranger''' holds authority equivalent to an Officer.
* Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA command is available.

== Crime and Punishment ==
Punishment in the NCR is divided between Non-Judicial and Judicial Punishment.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) ===
For less severe offenses. Given by NCOs and Officers in the field. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and cannot be cruel or arbitrary.

* Reprimand · Forfeiture of Pay · Extra Duty · Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base or Brig
* Loss of Rank (requires Captain or higher approval)

=== Judicial Punishment (JP) ===
Determined after court martial for major or capital offenses.

* Other Than Honorable Discharge · Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad or Hanging
* Barred from Reenlistment

=== Court Martial ===
Requested by high-ranking members or the Military Police. Handles serious crimes between NCRA and NCRR. Non-military personnel are not sentenced to Court Martial - they receive a Civilian Court Trial. Court martials take time; they are not instantaneous.

'''Modifiers:''' Aggravating factors (repeating an offense, refusing to cooperate) make punishment harsher. Mitigating factors (surrendering, cooperating) make it less harsh.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel must be in full uniform during all NCR operations. Cadets cannot modify their issued loadout. Upon reaching NCO rank, soldiers may wear non-NCR apparel (cowboy hats, bandanas), provided they remain identifiable as NCR personnel.

=== Hair Regulations ===
Hair must be well-groomed, natural color, cut no further than the shoulders or tied back, and fit underneath a helmet. Helmets may be removed indoors when appropriate.

=== Weapon Regulations ===
Low-ranking troopers use weapons issued at shift start and may not change them without authorization. Weapons manufactured by other factions are '''strictly forbidden''' and will be held in the armory until repurposed. High-quality weapons are distributed by logistics to where they are needed.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==

=== Criminals ===
Individuals not part of any faction who have broken NCR laws, committed crimes against NCR citizens or personnel, or undermined NCR operations. Criminals are protected under NCR laws - they must be treated humanely, provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and may not be abused while non-resisting. Non-lethal methods are authorized if they attempt to escape.

=== Prisoners of War (POWs) ===
Individuals who are part of a faction currently at war with the NCR. POWs are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely. They are '''not''' to be used for tactical purposes (e.g. planning an ambush), nor traded, exchanged, or released without High Command authorization. Anyone releasing a POW without authorization is charged with Sedition or Treason.{{FactionNav}}

<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #4A7CBF; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#b0b8cc; font-style:italic;">"To identify, secure, and preserve advanced technology, preventing its catastrophic misuse by the ignorant or the corrupt. We are the sole vanguard against the mistakes of the past; the technology of the Old World is ours to protect, by any means necessary."</blockquote>

== History ==

=== The Mojave Heritage ===
The chapter's presence in the Utah region is defined by its recovery from the events of the late 23rd century.

'''The Rise (2250s):''' Under the leadership of Father Elijah, the chapter secured numerous pre-war sites, most notably the '''HELIOS One''' solar plant. Elijah's obsession with the facility's potential as a superweapon diverted the chapter's focus away from traditional mobile recovery, anchoring them to a fixed position that would eventually draw the eyes of the New California Republic.

'''Operation Sunburst (2276):''' A catastrophic conflict where the NCR launched a massive assault on HELIOS One. Despite the Brotherhood's technological superiority and T-51b Power Armor, they were outnumbered 15-to-1. The battle resulted in a devastating retreat to the Hidden Valley bunker and the mysterious disappearance of Father Elijah, leaving the chapter fractured and depleted.

=== The Lockdown & Resurgence (2282–2296) ===
The history of the 509th is defined by two distinct phases: a decade of silence followed by a desperate, militant awakening.

==== The Kearny Occupation: The "Silent Years" ====
Following the disaster at HELIOS One in 2276, the Mojave Chapter retreated into the Hidden Valley bunker. During this chaos, a small, "disposable" detachment led by '''<span style="background-color:black; color:black;">REDACTED</span>''' was dispatched toward the Northeast salt flats.

For over a decade, they were a loose thread in the Brotherhood's tapestry. With Hidden Valley in total lockdown under Elder McNamara and the High Elders at Lost Hills preoccupied with the NCR, the detachment received no reinforcements and fewer than five transmissions in twelve years.

Rather than disbanding or going rogue, the unit survived on institutional stubbornness. They operated on a lean, disciplined model, salvaging local aerospace tech and maintaining their T-51b Power Armor suits with scavenged parts and salt-flat ingenuity. They became ghosts of the desert, watching, waiting, and maintaining their gear in total isolation.

==== The Resurgence: The Enclave Catalyst ====
By early 2296, the Brotherhood has begun a cautious but deliberate resurgence. While the Mojave remains scarred by the loss of their assets, the discovery of a renewed Enclave threat in the area has shattered the policy of isolation.

The 509th has transitioned from a Hidden Watcher to an Active Vanguard. The tightening tensions between regional factions and the looming shadow of the Enclave have forced the Chapter's hand.

* '''Expeditionary Focus:''' The 509th no longer waits for permission. They have begun deploying small, elite "Surgical Teams" deep into the Utah territories. These teams are tasked with reclaiming lost influence and securing untapped technological caches before the Enclave or local ignorant factions can seize them.
* '''The New Mandate:''' Isolation is no longer an option. If the 509th falls at Kearny, the Mojave is next.

== Cultural Dogma & The "Purist" Mindset ==
<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #4A7CBF; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#b0b8cc; font-style:italic;">"The Brotherhood of Steel holds that technological and biological purity are the last bulwarks of humanity. We are the only organization protecting humanity from deviations, mutations, or outright abominations."</blockquote>The Brotherhood of Steel practices a form of technological and biological elitism. They view themselves as the only true guardians of humanity against various forms of "Abominations".

=== The Classification of Abominations ===
''Use these field classifications to determine Rules of Engagement for non-human entities.''

! colspan="2" style="background:#1e2d45; color:#7aafff; padding:6px;" |1. Biological Abominations (Ghouls & Mutants)
|-
| colspan="2" style="padding:10px;" |
* '''Ghouls:''' Generally viewed with disgust. While the Mojave Chapter is more pragmatic than some, they view Ghouls as "shuffling corpses" or "Abominations" and a reminder of the Great War's failures. They are never members of the Brotherhood, except in desperate times, they may be recruited as Initiates or cannon fodder.
* '''Super Mutants:''' An evolutionary mistake and a direct affront to nature. Never to be enlisted in the Brotherhood. Don't shoot on sight, but avoid all contact and eliminate them if combat is initiated.
|-
! colspan="2" style="background:#1e2d45; color:#7aafff; padding:6px;" |Protocol: The "Ghoul Dilemma"
|-
| colspan="2" style="padding:10px;" |In the Brotherhood, biological purity is a core tenet. If a member is exposed to radiation and begins the turning process, the following paths are established:

* '''The "Final Honor" (Self-Termination):''' A member may request a final moment to secure their legacy, surrender their gear/holotags, and finish their own life to die a human rather than an abomination. This is a highly respected act of devotion.
* '''Command Discretion:''' If the member does not choose the Final Honor, the Commander decides:
** '''Exile:''' Stripped of all rank/property and cast out. Forbidden from returning.
** '''Execution (Mercy Purge):''' Immediate termination to preserve the dignity of the fallen Brother and ensure no "abomination" carries the Order's memories.

|-
| colspan="2" style="padding:10px;" |
* '''The Logic:''' These are effectively Calculators with legs. They possess Virtual Intelligence (VI) but no souls. They are slaves to their "If/Then" code and are considered Mobile Property. As long as they remain tools, they are permitted.
* '''Protocol:''' Requisition, reprogram, or use as Mobile Property. However, if the unit is already in civilian/faction service, the BOS should prioritize Intelligence Gathering (Field Audits) over physical requisition.
* '''Interaction:''' ''"Protectron, designation 0-4-4, adjust patrol vector. You are now under Brotherhood command."''

|-
| colspan="2" style="padding:10px;" |
* '''The Logic:''' A Robobrain uses a real, biological human brain as its processor. To the Brotherhood, this is the ultimate sin: the desecration of the human mind by trapping it in a jar to power a machine. It is a mechanical perversion. You cannot reprogram a Robobrain; you can only free the brain inside by destroying the unit.
* '''Protocol:''' '''Immediate Termination.'''
|}

== Culture & Society ==
Unlike the splintered chapters that have integrated with local populations, the Mojave Brotherhood remains a closed, techno-monastic society. They strictly adhere to the "Chain of Binding," a rigid command protocol where a member only answers to their immediate superior. This ensures that even if a member is captured, the entire organizational structure remains protected.

In their current state, the Brotherhood operates with a "Vanguard" mentality. They view themselves as the rightful guardians of humanity's most dangerous tools, often treating wastelanders with a mixture of cold pity and suspicion. Their swift and harsh response to the "misuse" of technology ensures that local populations understand the Brotherhood's authority.

While the military branch (The Knights) and the research branch (The Scribes) remain distinct, the current state of the chapter requires total cohesion. Every member, regardless of their primary specialty, is expected to be a capable combatant and a scholar of the Codex. Collateral damage during recovery operations is often dismissed as a necessary sacrifice for the "Greater Good" of preventing another global catastrophe.

=== Chems & Alcohol ===
The Brotherhood is a militarized faction, and expects that all of it's members remain strictly disciplined and mentally sound at all times. For this reason, usage of most addictive Chems is prohibited unless explicitly approved by the Head of a given branch of service or a visiting Elder. Chems are to be stored securely in the Medical Ward unless approved for use by a Head or offered in a trade with an outsider. Approved Chem use should be accompanied by dosages of Fixer to minimize chances of addiction.

Paladins leading Field Lances can alter or lift these restrictions for the duration of the Field Lance at their discretion. These alterations must be reported over the radio and are to be reviewed by their superior upon their return to the Bunker.

Drinking is prohibited outside of approved R&R time. Smoking is prohibited within the Medical Ward, Armory, and Forge for safety reasons but is otherwise permitted.

Non-addictive medicines such as Healing Poultice/Powder, Stimpacks, Radaway/Rax-X, etc. have no restrictions imposed on their use.

== Chain That Binds ==
The chain that binds is the key commanding structure within the Brotherhood. Its core philosophy is that each "Link" of the chain serves the greater whole and plays their part in ensuring the Brotherhoods operational functions. Castes are generally expected to follow their designated purposes, with reprimand being issued out if they fail to do so.

It defines the key authorities vested in each caste - and its subsequent heads, which shall be described hereon:

== Promotion Scripts ==
Within the Brotherhood, advancement is earned through discipline, loyalty, and unwavering service. Promotions are not rewards but obligations, binding the promoted to greater responsibility and deeper commitment to the Codex and the Chapter.

=== Initiate → Squire ===
This ceremony marks the transition from a "new recruit" to a recognized member of the command structure.

* '''Elder/Senior:''' ''"Initiate, you have performed your duties without complaint. You have shown the discipline required of the Brotherhood. But the path to the Steel is long."''
* '''Elder/Senior:''' ''"I hereby assign you to [Knight/Paladin Name] as their Squire. You will be their shadow. You will maintain their gear, you will carry their ammunition, and you will learn the weight of the Codex through their actions."''
* '''Squire:''' ''"I accept the burden. Steel be with you."''

=== Initiate → Squire (Corps Assignment) ===
For Initiates not yet claimed by a mentor.

* '''Elder/Senior:''' ''"Initiate, you have demonstrated discipline, obedience, and respect for the Codex. These qualities form the foundation of every Brotherhood soldier."''
* '''Elder/Senior:''' ''"Until a Knight or Paladin claims you for mentorship, you will serve within the Squire Corps. You will assist our Scribes, maintain our arms and armor, and learn the rhythms of the Chapter."''
* '''Elder/Senior:''' ''"Prove yourself worthy, and the Steel will open its path to you."''
* '''Squire:''' ''"I accept the duty. Steel be with you."''

=== Squire → Paladin ===
The "Big Moment" - entrusted with Power Armor.

* '''Elder:''' ''"Squire [Name], your mentorship is complete. Your mentor vouches for your skill with the wrench and the rifle. You have proven that you understand that technology is a burden, not a toy."''
* '''Elder:''' ''"By the authority of the High Elders, I promote you to the rank of Paladin. We entrust you with the relics of the Old World. Guard them with your life. Rise, Knight [Name]. Steel be with you."''
* '''Paladin:''' ''"I rise in service to the Chapter. Steel protects."''

== Field Protocols ==

=== Technology Classification ===
The Brotherhood categorizes gear into Tiers. Active intervention is generally reserved for '''Tier 3''' technology.

|'''T1'''
|Service Rifles, Pistols, Leather Armor, Stimpaks
|'''Ignore.''' Standard wasteland gear.
|-
|'''T2'''
|Laser Weaponry, Advanced SMG, Servo-Assisted Gauntlet, Pip-Boy, Stripped Power Armor
|'''Monitor.''' Note the owner and origin. No intervention yet.
|-
|'''T3'''
|Plasma/Gauss Weapons, Power Armor, Pre-War Holotapes
|'''Requisition.''' Active Brotherhood intervention is authorized and expected.
|}

== Rules of Engagement (The Escalation Ladder) ==
''When Tier 3 technology is identified in "unauthorized" hands (NCR, Legion, or Civilians), members must follow these steps:''

# '''The Formal Request:''' State the hazard and offer a trade if possible.
#: ''"Hold there, Wastelander. That Plasma Rifle is a dangerous relic of the Old World; you are unauthorized to possess it. For the safety of the wastes, we request you turn it over. In exchange, we can offer you Caps and a reliable Service Rifle."''
# '''The Final Warning:''' If the request is refused, weapons are drawn (but not fired).
#: ''"This is not a request, Trooper. That technology is beyond your understanding and poses a threat to the region. Hand over the hardware now, or it will be secured by force. Final warning."''
# '''Forced Seizure:''' Combat is authorized '''only''' to disable the tech-user. Once the player is "downed," the BOS secures the specific item and retreats immediately.
#: '''Strict Rule:''' Do NOT loot the player's personal items (food, water, armor, caps). Only the high-tech objective (and its specific ammo) is to be taken.

=== Post-Seizure Protocol ===
If the subject does not demonstrate continued hostility and instead attempts to disengage or flee, lethal force is not authorized. Following recovery of the technology, the subject is to be stabilized to a condition in which they can safely vacate the area.

The use of basic medical aid is permitted if required. Termination is only authorized under the following conditions:

* Direct orders from a higher-ranking member
* Renewed hostile action from the subject
* Environmental or situational threats that endanger the Brotherhood member
