Led by a less extreme, more rational Caesar, the New Legion has united scores of tribes, bringing them forcibly to the light of civilization. Settling his subjects in what fertile lands remain in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado, as well as bringing what settled peoples remain under his protection, whether they like it or not, The New Legion is a more stable state than its canon incarnation, with its power coming not from wholesale enslavement and plunder, but from Latifundia and Coloni, large estates and tenant farmers with slightly more rights than slaves. Not merely that, but veteran soldiers of the New Legion are given their own small plots of land that they can call their own, tend to, and as they are still heavily armed, even defend.

But what happens when there's no more fertile land to give away? Well, that's why the New Legion still needs to expand west.

Ceasar still feels contempt for the NCR and Mr. House, and desires to bring his version of civilization to the Mojave. Although more willing to negotiate and compromise on the outside, that is all to hide his and his new army's determination to take what they they desire. Due to being based on land instead of slavery in this universe, though, they are much less numerous than they were in canon...but also better-equipped, organized, and led.

Even the minor soldiers wear armor and riot shields that can deflect small arms, while guns such as revolvers and cowboy repeaters a more common sight. The mid-tier soldiers have what the elites in canon have; brush guns, super-sledges, and ballistic fists, while as for the true elites, the true elites are clad in true bulletproof armor made from Pre-War meta-materials and reflective, anti-laser plating, and carry miniguns, plasma casters, and longer swords that emulate the late roman 'spatha' instead of the 'gladius'.

As for their treatment of women, the New Legion does not treat women like cattle; they are allowed to defend themselves and to do paid work, but one sexist law still remains: Women still cannot join the Legion.

And now, for the final difference from the original universe: Slavery. The New Legion does not actively enslave people. Slavery is still legal, and the Legion turns a blind eye to it, but slavery is a soldier's private business, and no effort is made to impede or support it. Basically, this Caesar turns a blind eye to slavery instead of endorsing it, although he is glad for the taxes it gives him...

The New California Republic changed with the assassination of President Aaron Kimball, a corrupt and imperialist war hawk who was overextending the NCR's resources. Led by a new President, Lucita Blake, the NCR has began waging a crackdown on corruption, special interests, and straightening out its bureaucracy, while at the same time foregoing the brute-force tactics it was using on the Mojave...in favor of cloak-and-dagger tactics like assassinations, deception, and subversion in order to get its way anyway. Keeping the gruding loyalty of Chief Hanlon, the NCR has a less open, but much deeper grip on the affairs of the region than ever before.

Subfaction: The NCR Secret Service - Once the bodyguards of the President, the NCR Secret Service has been expanded to much, much, more. An elite group that does to urban areas and settlements what the NCR Rangers do with countryside settings, the Secret Service is a technologically advanced force that uses Stealth Boys, Anti-Materiel Rifles, Gauss Guns, and Laser Pistols to conduct assassinations and raids all across the Mojave.

Subfaction 2: The Cabal - A group of businessmen, diplomats, and investors whose goal is to establish control of the Mojave's riches, the Cabal spreads money around like water, and tosses out blackmail information like candy. Normally, Mr. House would be preparing a harsh response to this... If not for the fact that the Cabal's mysterious head has gained knowledge of Robert House's Pre-War life and career himself...

An enigmatic genius who has kept the Mojave Wasteland together, Mr. House is brilliant, charismatic and utterly ruthless. However, in this universe, he has to play smarter and more clever than he had ever done before, due to a sane Caesar and more ruthless and less corrupt NCR after the riches of the Mojave. But in this case, he has help, able help, in the person of the Muted Man, a mysterious figure acting as his hand. With numerous contacts and resources, this subordinate might be the key to ensuring that the house would always win, even with these new circumstances.

Backstory: Jessica Fairbright had been a rising star in the NCR military, six years ago - she had been slotted as one of the best gunslingers in her time in the NCR army. While lacking skills with firing a rifle and a dislike of rules - she made it up for her great mind, strong will and precise aim with a revolver. Instead of having her drop out - due to not, meeting certain Army standards.

Instead at the age of nineteen she had been slotted to the NCR Rangers - becoming one of the youngest Rangers to date, to join the organization. Despite them being all volunteer-based, their skill-set needed to many and very good. Two years and several succesful missions later - she was on a fast track road to becoming the youngest to gain her Veterancy. Although her path had been cut short - once news reached about her brother being in trouble.

Namely both her and her older brother - had been orphaned when Jess had been sixteen and her brother at twenty-one. Namely due to a caravan attack gone bad. Her brother had taken care of her, for about three years - after which she joined the NCR Army. While her brother moved on as prospector. Her brother had run amock against some Cabal agents - since he had discovered a piece of valuable Old-War technology and had been upto delivering it to the Followers of the Apocalypse. Namely the charity group having helped the family out during their initial years - however the Cabal captured him instead and due to the value of the tech; they had him fake-charged and hanged for treason.

Jessica heard about this situation that had happened, and investigated her brother' charges. She hadn't managed to scratch much of the surface - only finding rumors that the NCR in some way had set up her only family left. Albeit, before she could report this forward - the Cabal, also called-up charges on Jessica; in-order to silence her from investigating further. In that regard, Jessica managed to kill her attackers and flee East.

She kept travelling in the Mojave Wasteland, always on the move and alert for any Cabalists.
