Location(s): Fort Independence
History: Even before the Lone Wanderer escaped Vault 101 to unleash havok on the wasteland, the brotherhood itself had been fractured. Lyons continued his humanitarian cause while a splinter group broke off to perform their primary duty in the former capital. This splinter faction would be known as the Brotherhood Outcast.

During the purifier wars and the Enclave invasion, the Outcast kept their head low. Casdin knew they hardly had the numbers to take on the new threat. While he himself was a proud traditionalist and abhorred the idea of outside recruitment, he accepted that only Lyon's had the manpower to take on the Enclave threat. Both the Outcast and Lyon's group avoided each other during the war. On the rare event that they met though, fierce clashes took place. Wasteland recruits calling the Outcast traitors while the Outcast saw the new recruits as nothing more than cannonfodder for pure blooded Brotherhood members.

However one event would ultimately soften the hatred between the two groups. The scission. The Citadel, once Lyon's show of force to the wasteland, reduced to rubble. Casdin refused to believe the initial reports are first. That the mighty bastion of the Brotherhood was destroyed. His scouts would ultimately confirm the tales though. The Citadel, Liberty Prime, Elder Lyons, a good number of Lyon's Brotherhood and numberless important tech an data were lost. Casdin mourned the lost of Lyons. Though he thought he had lost his objectives, the man did not deserve such a fate. Neither did the brotherhood.

Casdin also realized that the main objective of their expedition to the east was now gone. All the tech they sought to horde and protect had vanished. Casein collected his most senior officers and discussed the future of their group. There was no doubt that any and all strategic importance the Capital Wasteland had was now lost. Casdin's inner circle agreed that it was now time to head back west and rejoin their mother chapter. How the remnants are suppose to get there was a heated topic of discussion.

It was decided that the road back west would necessitate more resources then when they first arrived to the capital wasteland. Reports of organized raiders in the Pitt, resurgent super mutant attacks and Enclave skirmishers has made any travel more perilous. Their diminished numbers made it more so.

A young defender who had only distinguished herself a few months before proposed a radically new strategy for Casdin and his officers. Armored convoys. The ruined automobiles that scattered the waste would be refurbished into vehicles of war. Naturally most of the other officers were completely skeptical of the plan.

This new doctrine was tested during the battle of Super-Duper Mart where a numerically superior force of Talon Company mercenaries attacked a scavenging party of the Outcast. The Outcast surprised the mercs with their mobility. Quickly outflanking the Talon Company and suppressing them in position. The mercenaries were forced into a hasty retreat with a good number of them gunned down by the Outcast. After the battle, any distrust of the new battle plan was slowly faded away.

Now the Outcast rely heavily on their mechanized units for their day to day operations. Casdin, who had now promoted himself to Elder since the lost of Lyons, oversees all of the Outcast operations. The young defender who had came up with the strategy found herself promoted to Paladin and heads important scavenging operations in the waste. The new mission of the Outcast is to get at least five pre-war buses operational to load every Outcast members that remains in DC and hopefully make it back to California. However such an undertaking would prove difficult, if not impossible, in this hostile wasteland.

---

Economy: Aside from the power armor and laser weaponry the brotherhood collects and maintains, the Outcast has started recovering vehicles from the wasteland and turning them into armored war machines. So far the Outcast has made eight war bikes, two scout buggies, a war truck and a war rig.

• War Bike
  
  War bikes are reconditioned motorcycles used by the Outcast for a number of purposes. It's most common use is for battlefield reconnaissance. However the brotherhood has used them to harass enemy forces, sabotage enemy supply lines and guard their war truck and war rig.
  
  A war bike's top speed is 30 KpH when the driver is wearing power armor and 75 KpH when the driver is not. Defender Morgan herself drives a specialized version where an AER9 Laser Rifle is fixed onto the left side of her war bike. Unlike other drives, Defender Morgan doesn't sacrifice the use of one hand when engaging enemy on her bike.
• Scout Buggy
  
  A small buggy converted from small vehicles with the frame removes and replaced with lightweight plating. The buggy has enough space for three passengers and a driver. However the cramped space doesn’t allow for power armored units to mount it. As its name implies, the buggy is used for long distance reconnaissance. Its maximum speed is 120 KpH on a flat area.
• War Truck
  
  The primary transport vehicle of the Outcast. It is capable to transporting a maximum of ten occupants. Two passengers in the front and eight in the back. Recently the brotherhood has outfitted the truck with threads, making traversing through rough terrain easier than before. The maximum speed of the war truck is 40 KpH on a plat area. Currently the Outcast only has one truck. However they are in the process of refurbishing a second one.
• War Rig
  
  The mobile operations headquarter of the Outcast. The war rig has the same engine as the war truck but it carries an armored trailer on the back. The trailer carries the command unit of the Outcast as well as scavenging a repair eqiupment they might need on the field. Like the war truck, the war rig has a maximum speed of 40 KpH on flat terrain. Currently Paladin Maybelle Moran has the exclusive rights to use the war rig.
  
  The Outcast also has equipment to produce firearms ammunition as well as recharge ports for the different battery cells used by their energy weapons. The Outcast has been known to trade firearms ammunition for advance tech with outsiders.

Technology: The Outcast is perhaps one of the most technologically advanced factions in the Wasteland. The Brotherhood makes extensive use of power armor and energy weapons. However the Outcast, like Lyon’s loyalist, have been known to use conventional firearms and explosives if needed. Their most advance piece of machinery is their recharge ports that allows them to recharge power cells and their archival data that they have stored in computers.
Military: The current numbers of the Outcast is 200 strong, including their children, elderly and disabled personnel. The small number of the Outcast was forced on them by their doctrine of exclusivity. However to make up for their lack of numbers, the Outcast makes use of robots such as robo-brains and sentry bots.

The Outcast, like their former Citadel counterparts, have a strict hierarchy similar to the pre-war United States military. The Chains that Bind is an official set of instructions for the ranking system of the Brotherhood. The Outcast has changed the names of this ranks to differ themselves from Lyon’s loyalist. This ranks are:

• Elder - One of the member’s of the Brotherhood's ruling council. The position of Elder is one of the most difficult positions to earn, requiring long term service and dedication to the Brotherhood that goes far beyond what is asked of them. They must show that it is in their character to lead and make wise decisions based on critical examination of information.
  
  The death of Lyons made the role vacant for the east coast chapter until Casdin declared himself the new elder. However none of the other Elders in the west have sponsored or acknowledged his self-promotion. Mostly because of difficulty communicating with the brotherhood’s main headquarters in Lost Hills. A majority of Lyon’s loyalist also reject Casdin’s position as Elder because of their long standing feud.
• Protector - Known as Paladins to the rest of the brotherhood, Protectors are a class of Knights in the Brotherhood of Steel. Protectors appointed to lead squads of Defenders in and out of any situation. If not assigned to lead a Defender squad, Protectors are expected to carry on their duties as usual and take the initiative and take charge when necessary.
• Defender - Known as Knights to the rest of the Brotherhood, Defenders are the mainline fighting force of the Brotherhood. After prolonged service and experience, the greatest and best of the Defenders are issued the title of Protector, the pinnacle of the Brotherhood military.
• Specialist - Known to the rest of the Brotherhood as Scribes, Specialist are tasked with creating and keeping records of the technology used by the Brotherhood as well as other logistical operations, such as weapons and armor maintenance. The attitude of many Specialist in the Brotherhood can be described as techno-centric. While a great number study history and culture, the majority of Specialist focus their studies on subjects related to the acquisition, repair, or creation of technology.
• Courtier - Known to the rest of the Brotherhood as Squires, the Courtier is a title given to Initiates after the completion of basic training. Courtiers are soon assigned tasks to prove their worth to the Brotherhood.
• Initiate - Initiates are members who are undergoing basic training. Initiates receive training in the use of weapons and in combat.

Name: People's Republic of New Columbia (informal Names Tenpenny Tower, Chinese Remnants)

Flag:



Location(s): The main base of the Remnants is the Mama Dolce's Food Processing Plant in the Alexandria ruins, though Tennpenny Tower has somewhat eclipsed it since the Alliance four years ago. Has a strong presence throughout the southern part of the Capital Wasteland, though small bases and caches have been established in the DC ruins and in remote areas across the Wasteland, including Vault 106. Individuals and small groups on operations can be found anywhere there are ghouls.

History: The Chinese Remnants are the survivors of the various espionage operations conducted by the Chinese military and civilan Ministry of State Security in the years leading up to the Great War. *WIP*

Leadership: The PRC is governed by a Central Committee, made up of five members, listed below:

General Secretary: Roy Phillips. Phillips is the defacto Head of State of the PRNC. His seizure of Tenpenny Tower for the People has made him both a Hero of the Revolution, and it's leader. His radio broadcasts and political organizers have spread his ideals throughout the Capital Wasteland, and beyond.

Commissar for Military Affairs: Robert Whiteman aka Colonel Zheng. Before the War, Colonel Zheng, in his cover identity of Robert Whiteman, the manager of the Mama Dolce's Food Processing plant in Alexandria, commanded the PLA's Military Intelligence efforts in the Eastern United States. Inspired by Chairman Jones, he, along with Director Liang, have decided to put their remaining assets behind General Secretary Phillips, whom they both agree is the best hope for bringing the Revolution to the Capital Wasteland, and eventually beyond.

Commissar for Civil Affairs: Dr Michael Masters. As one of Roy's earliest followers, and having fought by his side at the Liberation of Tenpenny Tower...not to mention his credentials as a scientist...he was a natural fit for the Central Committee. While Masters finds it quite ironic that they have joined forces with the Chinese, they are, after all, fellow ghouls. He trusts Roy's instincts and is determined to never bow down to humans again.

Commissar for External Affairs: Ouinn. valued by the other Central Committe members for his informal leadership role in Underworld, and extensive contacts with both ghouls and humans across the Wasteland, he was a early target for recruitment. While he finds some of Roy's methods deplorable...Herbert Dashwood's death during the Liberation particularly bothered him...he is tired of abuse from humans and has come to believe that they will never be treated with respect by them until they stand up to them, and Roy has emerged as the only leader capable of doing so.

Commissar for Administration: Thomas Jenkins aka Xi Liang. Xi Liang is the senior surviving Officer of the Chinese Ministry of State Security in the Washington area. He, along with the various espionage operations of the MSS, fell under command of Colonel Zheng in the wake of the War.

Behind the scenes are a number of Directorates, sub-commitees with three members in which one or more Central Commitee members participate in, for oversight of specific matters. Unlike the Central Committee, these can and often do contain human members. An important example is the Intelligence Directorate, composed of Commissars Whiteman and Jenkins, and Mr Burke.

Economy: The PRNC's economy is based on trading, scavenging, and light manufacturing. There is some food production, but not enough to be able to export it. It has used it's position along the trade routes from the Capital Wasteland into Virginia, particularly Richmond, to establish a profitable trade for robot parts and other finished goods for salvaged machine tools and foodstuffs, as well as raw materials. The PANC does work to keep the trade routes in and through it's area clear of Raiders, and the Canturbury Commons traders, and others find the PNRC hospitable, if touchy, customers.

Technology: Along with a considerable amount of Pre-War surveillance gear and expertise, the Remnants also have a limited number of Hei Gui stealth suits. The PANC does have eight functioning suits of power armor salvaged from battlefields, mostly BoS and Outcast T-45 suits with a single T-51b, Enclave Mk II and Hellfire suit. As they are not capable of building power armor themselves, the suits are only deployed when considered absolutely necessary.

Military: The PRNC has a standing army, the PANC (People's Army of New Columbia), and a reserve Force, the People's Militia. The core of the PANC is made up the survivors of various Pre-War Chinese espionage operations, both military and civilian, called to the Capital Wasteland from across the US Eastern seaboard. Well trained, and with 200 years of experience, they are formidable foes. The bulk of the PANC, however, are volunteers from ghoul communities across the Capital Wasteland and it's immediate environs....and varies from hardened mercenary veterans to untrained Wastelanders. Every effort is being made to properly train them to the same standard...the PANC does have a first rate training cadre available...but occasionally circumstances force the deployment of comparatively raw troops to the Front.

The People's Militia is made up of the civilian population of the PRNC. The organization provides pre and post military training for the PNAC, continuing political education, and serves as a Reserve for the PNAC. Basically armed Wastelanders with rudimentary military training, though their officers and NCOs will usually be demobilized soldiers. Effective against Raiders, but not expected to be able to do more than delay trained soliders from factions such as Talon Company, the Brotherhood, and/or Enclave until regular troops can reach them.

Every effort is made by the PANC leadership to properly arm and equip it's soldiers and the Militia. Establishing a domestic arms industry was Whiteman's top priority after being named to the Central Committee. Exploitation of the machine shops at Warrington Trainyard and the old Robco Assembly Plant, as well as machine tools acquired elsewhere has enabled the serial, albeit limited, production of the following Chinese designs: Type 93 5.56 Automatic Rifle, Type 50-2 10mm SMG (imagine a 10mm PPSh), and Type 17 10mm semi-automatic pistol. The latter is being phased out in favor of the US designed N99 pistol, as it is more accurate and can be reloaded faster. The R91 and Combat Shotgun are also issued to frontline units as a substitute standard. The US 10mm SMG is issued occasionaly to rear line units, and the People's Militia, but is considered inferior to the Type 50-2 in every regard except for concealability. Snipers are equipped whenever possible with the DKS-501 sniper rifle, though several competing models for a anti-material rifle are at the prototype stage and ready for field trials.

The People's Militia is armed with the best weapons available after the PNAC's meeds are met. As more and more PNAC units turn in their R91s for Type 93s, they are handed down to People's Militia units. In People's Militia units, the usual practices is that the most experienced members are armed with R91 rifles, or Type 50-2 SMGs, and the rest a mixture of civilian hunting rifles, Combat Shotguns, US designed SMGs, and Type 17 pistols.

Both regular and People's Militia units are equipped with one support weapon for each 8 soldier squad, normally a LMG or a Missile Launcher. Each PNAC platoon has a Fat Man launcher attached as artillery support. At this time, the PNAC has no actual artillery, though it is looking to acqure the capability, as well as specialists able to use it.

Name: Commonwealth Minutemen Expeditionary Force

Flag:


Location(s): Region around Canterbury Commons.

History: As far north as the Commonwealth, rumors had begun to spread of the terrible events that had spread across the Capital Wasteland, spread from traders and wastelanders that had fled the region. When these rumors reached the ears of General Becker and the Commonwealth Minutemen, a few brave souls volunteered to investigate these rumors. The first expedition was a scouting mission, where a few veteran Minutermen sailed by boat to investigate. Only two of them made it back, bringing with them extensive intel about the layout and dangers of the wasteland, such as its poisoned waters, its slaver gangs, and Super Mutant presence.

One Minutemen officer, Colonel Hotchkiss, volunteered to lead an expeditionary force to the Capital Wasteland and set up a branch of the militia. Many suspected his motivations were more political than humanitarian, as internal tensions were at an all time high, but General Becker gave them permission to set out to the ruins of DC. Two tugboats in Boston Harbor were repaired and used as transports to ferry the expeditionary force south along the coast, then up the Potomac where they would dock near Wilhelm's Wharf. As per Hotchkiss's plans, they made their way northwest to Canterbury Commons where they set up in a deserted Robco repair center on a hill, and in an abandoned farm to the north of the town. They re-purposed the Yankee Bravo radio tower to coordinate their forces and spread word of their goal- to organize a militia of volunteers to keep the people safe at a minute's notice.

Canterbury Commons was initially highly suspicious of these new armed arrivals, thinking them just another gang of raiders or mercenaries or worse, costumed weirdos. That changed when, following a raider attack, Colonel Hotchkiss gathered his Minutemen and attacked the raider outposts at Wheaton Armory and the Bethesda ruins, wiping out every raider gang in the region. Several Minutemen perished in the attacks, but they were hailed as heroes. They became welcome in Canterbury and began to ply their trades, selling water and salvage in exchange for food and ammunition, and soon more men and women were flocking to join them.

Leadership: The leader of the expedition is Colonel Hotchkiss. Below him are three captains who coordinate Minutemen garrisons at Canterbury Commons, the RobCo Repair Center, and the Hilltop Farm. Beneath them are the sergeants who drill recruits, lead squads, and maintain discipline. Technically Colonel Hotchkiss answers to General Becker, but it is unlikely that they will receive any orders from Boston.

Economy: The Minutemen have occupied an abandoned farm north of Canterbury Commons where they have rigged up a water purifier to the water tower, selling surplus water to the traders. So far the water has been devoid of whatever poison is contaminating the river. Other Minutemen bring in caps by escorting the trade caravans or by scavenging whatever they can't use in the Robco Repair Center.

Technology: The Minutemen are not technologically advanced, but they have in their numbers a few technicians to maintain machinery such as power generators and water purifiers, and with the technology left behind at the RobCo Repair Center, they've even been able to get a few robots up and running. Many among them have a farming background and thus have some knowledge in agriculture and animal husbandry. Their most iconic technology, however, is their crank-loaded laser muskets, energy weapons that can be modified to serve in a variety of functions from anti-materiel rifles to automatic squad support weapons.

Military: The Minutmen Expeditionary Force consists of approximately thirty surviving full-time volunteers from Boston, as well as a number of local recruits from Canterbury and the surrounding areas. It is difficult to gauge how many Minutemen there are because many are not full-time soldiers and instead simply go about their daily lives until mustered for action or training, and there is no guarantee that every Minuteman will answer the call. As expected for a largely volunteer force that has only recently arrived, many are poorly trained, although the rigors and dangers of wasteland life in DC and Boston means that most have pre-existing experience with firearms, and as time passes, the training and discipline of the local recruits will rise as they continue to be drilled.

In addition to their volunteers and regulars, the Minutemen have also repaired a few robots at the RobCo center to provide additional defense, although Canterbury Commons has been strangely insistent that they be kept away from the town.

Location(s): The Oasis, located in the north-centre of the capital wasteland

History:
It is not known the origins of The One Who Grows, Gives and Guides. But through him The Oasis was birthed. The name is fitting, a patch of fertile green in a desert of the desolate wasteland. In the beginning the lord was alone but soon there were those that arose to protect him and the Oasis: The Treeminders.

They came from all walks of life and The Lord spoke to them and guided them and all was well, until He came. The Burner, The Betrayer, The Godkiller. There are no curses utterable that the Treeminder's could use to describe him. The Lonewanderer burned Bob to a charred skeleton and left the Oasis, and the world, to ashes. Their trees began to die and even the water turned to poison. But it was not the end.

Though enraged and desolate, their trees dying, there was a branch of hope. A prophecy from Branchseer Poplar, that Their Lord would one day rise again, that a man would come to them, a saviour, though he spoke in blasphemous words. The Man In White.

Dr Weston Lesko was fresh from his last attempt to save the wasteland. The giant-ant experiments had been a...mixed success. On the one hand he had gained great insights into the nature of FEV that could prove invaluable in the future! On the other hand he had created a new deadly breed of giant-fire-ant that now plagued humanity. But try, try and try again was his motto, so it was back to the drawing board and time for a new project.

Lesko had discovered the Oasis almost by accident, he was conducting experiments with a nearby transmitter-tower when he saw the green in the distance and decided to investigate. He uncovered a local primitive religious tribe that had surprising wealth of potential resources. Once more some of them took him to be an almost messianic figure.

Once the commotion had settled down Lesko was able to get some work done, though the group were initially wary of some of his methods, he was able to devise a method to extract safe drinking water from the surrounding trees free of any FEV taint. It was only then they allowed him to examine their 'god'. And the possibilities he saw were intriguing.

In the years that followed the coming of 'The Man In White' the Treeminders grew, access to clean drinking water drew people from the surrounding areas. And it seemed preaching vengeance for a dead and abstract god proved more popular in the wasteland than peace for a living one. They would restore the Oasis, bring down any false idol and burn any sinful old-world tech from the earth.

Leadership:
Leader: Tree Father Birch
Generally accepted as the leader of the group and respected by all, however while an authority on spiritual matters is not a very 'worldly' man and can sometimes be prone to leaving administrative duties to others and is prone to manipulation.

Defender Of The Oasis: Branchtender Linden
A former Brotherhood of Steel Outcast member, after being nursed back to health by the Treeminders he decided to join the Oasis and since then his tactic knowledge has proved invaluable to the group. While not as religious as others his experience makes him the de-facto authority in any military matters.

Dr Weston Lesko
Something of a divisive figure, a gifted scientist but with a habit of seeing only the bigger picture and having little regard the individuals as more than mere test subjects. He has provided the Oasis with safe drinking water and it is rumoured he may hold the secret to the resurrection of their lord.

Economy:
The Treeminders largely thrive of their own sufficiency. They live modestly of the fruits of the Oasis, occasionally their members are send out to forage supplies. The trees provide a supply of safe drinking water which is a valuable commodity for trading.

Technology:
Not much. The Treeminders as a rule espouse the use of technology instead preferring to go back to nature. There are exceptions though, they will accept necessary evils such as guns to the defend the Oasis and will allow Dr Lekso the use of some limited scientific equipment in order to provide them with safe drinking water.

Recently the faction have started making use of bows and arrows in addition to guns, while obviously more primitive they have the advantage of a silent shot, being able to arc their missiles over fortifications and poisoning their arrowheads. They also employ the use of whistling-arrows to send messages without alerting enemies.

Military:
While The Treeminder's numbers have swelled in recent years they are still not a large or well armed faction, instead relying on more precision stealth and ambushes to achieve their aims. This is helped greatly by having a gifted Psyker among their number, helping them out manoeuvre their enemies and a former Brotherhood Of Steel Outcast as a tactician.

They travel light and quickly, often employing snipers and long-bows to strike from a distance and are gifted in camouflage and tracking. However against more advanced technologies they are still out-gunned.

Name: Talon Company
Flag:

Location(s): Fort Bannister (Headquarters), Various outposts and locations around the Wasteland and the D.C. Ruins (TBD)

History: Talon Company has been infamous in and around the Capital Wasteland area as a paramilitary group known for its willingness to take any contract offered, provided the appropriate compensation is given. As a result they're often the go-to source for armed guards, hit-men, extra muscle, and full-blown military operations throughout the region. Their employers are kept secret, and rumours have abounded that they must have some rather powerful clientele to afford the amount of manpower and military armament they can bring to bear. Talon Company operates much like a large and well-armed crime family. Extortion, raiding, scavenging, and blackmail are all tactics they're willing to employ to achieve their goals and fulfill their contracts, and they're fiercely loyal to their own. Once you don the black combat armor: there's no leaving the Company.

Headquartered at Fort Bannister, Talon Company suffered a major setback when a Brotherhood of Steel contingent stormed the facility in a surprise attack. Commander Jabsco, the then-leader of the Company, had become complacent and had come to believe that The Brotherhood was unwilling to challenge Talon Company directly. However, the fight with The Enclave and their continued pledge to support the wasteland populace had no doubt emboldened Lyon's Knights, and so Jabsco was caught unprepared and unable to resist an assault by the power-armored forces of The Brotherhood of Steel. Jabsco paid for that mistake with his life.

Since the storming of Bannister, new leadership has taken charge of The Company. Commander Lance Halscomb is now the acting commander of the mercenaries, a relatively young commander in his late 20s who rose through the ranks quickly on a reputation of sheer brutality and tactical acumen. Halscomb intends to not only strike back against the groups which have wronged Talon in the past, but expand the Company’s reach across The Capital Wasteland.

Leadership: Commander Lance Halscomb, 28 years old and the acting Commander of Talon Mercenary Co. He was a trusted tactical adviser to Jabsco and when he was killed during the battle of Fort Bannister, Halscomb quickly positioned himself to take the reigns. He shrewdly killed or made deals with any of the old guard that might have challenged him. Now in complete control of The Company, Halscomb has been running Talon with a cold and calculating eye for detail and precision, intending to revitalize The Company and fully take advantage of the power vacuum left behind by the struggle between the Brotherhood of Steel and The Enclave

Economy: Nominally a mercenary company, Talon gets a large portion of its revenue from contracts that it receives in and around the Capital Wasteland region. Infamous for its willingness to take any contract or hit regardless of the ethics involved, Talon is sought after whenever brutality and deadly efficiency are the needful qualities. However, the group takes a variety of contracts: escort missions, bodyguards services, protection, and retrievals. Often times they’ll find themselves fighting for wastelanders just as often as they’ll be found being paid to slaughter them. It’s a simple matter of business and who is the highest bidder.

More often than not Talon scavenging teams help to supplement the groups income and ensure that they have an adequate supply of munitions and equipment. These scavenge runs can take them deep into places like the D.C. ruins and bring them into conflict with others who may be after the same treasures.

Technology: Talon Co. is perhaps the best supplied military force in the Capital Wasteland after The Brotherhood Chapters and The Enclave. While lacking in Power Armor, the group has at its disposal pre-war combat armor (coated in a fine dark coat of Talon black for intimidation and brand recognition) , laser weaponry, ballistic guns including assault rifles and snipers rifles, and even heavier armaments such as flamers, missile launchers, and the occasional fat man. In addition Talon has a fair number of reprogrammed bots that they use sparingly to help guard their outposts and Fort Bannister.

They also have access to a number of pre-war artillery pieces: namely mortars and howitzers that can provide fire support during missions of particular criticality to the Company, as well as some repurposed and refurbished scavenged vehicles that can help provide quick transport along the wastelands broken roads.

Military: Talon Company has as its disposable a sizeable number of mercenary forces, and following The Brotherhood and Enclave’s War, they are one of it not the largest military force in the region after an aggressive recruitment campaign to replenish their numbers and revitalize their military operations. Fort Bannister has been rebuilt and a large number of new imposing defenses constructed under Commander Halscombs direction, as he intends to never again let such a surprise assault that The Brotherhood previously conducted occur. As a paramilitary group, they are well trained, well disciplined, and well armed: certainly a force to be reckoned with and not one to be underestimated.
