No, it cannot be canon. Generally threads requiring thought processes fail, but I can try.

Scavers

Karma: Good/Neutral
Weapons of Choice: Assault Carbine, Sniper Rifle, 12.7mm Pistol, Missile Launcher, Displacer Glove
Armors of Choice: T-45d (painted gunmetal grey, with orange stripes) + orange cape
Flag and Colors: Black and orange, emblem is a soaring vulture

An organized tribe of very wealthy prospectors and wastelanders, with a thing for technology. They fear of nothing in the wasteland, because they are prepared for it. They scavenge for old technology in groups, sharing whatever loot they come across, and usually in places any right-minded human wouldn't step. They stand for good reason, and work for the good of the people. Although unlike most groups of 'goody-two-shoes' variety, they have the means to stop raiders. They respect the Followers, although there solutions to the worlds problems are a little more... permanent. Mr House and Caesar loath them with good reason, and the Brotherhood keeps an eye on them at times (for power armor related reasons).

There was discussion about building your own gang in the Strip to beat down the three families, and have them running Lucky 38.

I honestly don't think I could create a faction I'd like better than the BoS.

If I had to choose, most likely a heavily armed, insular society; they make the most sense in the context of the Fallout setting and are always interesting to explore.

the enclave

Karma: Neutral/bad
Weapons of Choice: Laser rifle plasma rifle minigun Gatling laser
Armor of Choice: advanced power armour they created


The Enclave is a shadowy, militaristic organization, directly descended from the pre-War United States government and military industrial complex, that claims authority over the ravaged country. It is composed mostly of the descendants of government officials and military officers with ties to powerful corporations who retreated to a Poseidon Energy oil rig when the Great War started. They generally consider most people born outside the Enclave to be mutants fit only for eradication.

In my own personal "fanon" there is still an active unghoulified group of people descended from the chinese infiltrators that invaded USA, who are still accomplishing their mission of disturbing military and civilian effortd in what used to be the USA. It'll take more than a nuclear armageddon to stop the Crimson Dragoons :toughninja:

Followers of The Dope

Karma: Neutral.
Weapons of Choice: Dope's Laser Rifle, Dope's Plasma Rifle, Dope's Gauss Rifle, Dope's Gatling Laser.
Armors of Choice: Dope's Leather Armor (light), Dope's T-51b Power Armor (heavy).
Motto: We pwn n00bs.

Followers of The Dope is the most powerful faction/tribe in Mojave. They follow ME. I'm awesome.
We killed Mr. House and took over New Vegas. We slaughtered the Omertas and the White Glove Society, and let two other tribes move in. We builded more casinos, and expanded New Vegas.
We kicked NCR out of New Vegas, too. The skilled engineers from Followers of The Dope got the machine in the Lucky 38 working again after killing Mr. House, and now I'm in there. I have control over New Vegas, and forever will.

ALL HAIL THE DOPE! ASDFASDF!

Salvation

Karma: Evil/Neutral

Weapons of Choice: Plasma Rifle, Mesmetron, Hunting Rifle and Cowboy Repeater

Armors of Choice: Red and black bounty hunter dusters, generals wear capes.

Bio: Salvation are a faction who joined together after the war, assuming the consumption of human flesh would become necessary post-war. They formed together hoping to claim control of America and monitor and control the new cannibalistic culture. However people still did not turn to cannibalism, and Salvation were seen as nothing but insane raiders. They were beaten down and the remnants formed into a small group known today. Salvation breed their own slaves and feed on them. They also kidnap some feed stock, however these Kidnapped are seen as dirty compared to the pure slaves. Salvation live in isolation, abandoning their plans to take control of post-war America, yet unable to revert back to not eating humans.

Talon Company
Talon Company is an equal opportunity employer. Talon Company is a mercenary group who has almost no restrictions on contracts, making it one of the most effective, and therefore wealthiest and best equipped, mercenary group known to exist in the wasteland, it's Regional HQ's are usually pre-war military installations, and the technical department of Talon Company is known for achieving great technological discoveries, such as the activation of Highwater Trousers. The basic Talon Mercenary is equipped with a suit of Talon Company Combat Armor, a 5.56mm R91 Urban Assault Rifle, and a Combat Knife or Police Baton, mercenaries are allowed to use their pay to purchase other weapons from any Talon Company Armory, weapons available range from the 5.56mm Type-87 Chinese Assault Rifle to the AER9 Laser Rifle to the feared Missile Launcher.

Mercenaries that prove their mettle in battle stand a chance to be promoted to Squad Leader rank and given Reinforced Talon Company Combat Armor Mk. 1 and will be in charge of a squad of 5 basic Talon Mercenaries. Another great charactaristic of the Talon Company is its orginazation, 5 Mercs and a Squad Leader make up a squad, 5 squads are led by a Talon Company Veteran Mercenary, whom wear Reinforced Talon Company Combat Armor Mk. 2 with a stylish duster, and all Veteran Mercenaries report to their respective Regional Commander. An added benefit of being a part of the Talon Company is that the Company will pay off any bounty (up to 10000 caps) for a mercenary that proves that they are loyal and can pass the recruitment tests. The training process is specially administered to weed out the weak and instill loyalty in the strong, bringing out the best in your character, defeating the worst of it. Many rumors float about, saying that the Company is "evil" or "full of maniacs", this is simply not the case, the Talon Company just doesn't pass moral judgment on those who would wish to emply Talon Mercenaries, and who needs to bog down good business with morals in the wasteland? Dispite the rumors, Talon Company does in no way practice discrimination, mercenary applicants are accepted from all walks of life if they can prove themselves.

Thanks to the BoS-Enclave War, Talon Company has come into possession of a large amount of Enclave equipment and have captured some researchers, you can bet we shot those fascists! But other than the killing of those that wanted to kill all of your friends and family, the experience has also created a new rank in the Talon Company, an alternative to becoming a Squad Leader, the Talon Company Shocktrooper wears specially customized Talon Company Advanced Power Armor Mk. 2 and comes equipped with a Minigun, Gatling Laser, or Heavy Incinerator!

The Talon Company has from then gained strength, called for an end to hostilities with the BoS, and is focusing on fighting the Super Mutants, once again fighting those who would kill your friends, pets, neighbors, and all of your family.

Join Talon Company, it's exciting, worthwhile, enriching (both in experience and monetarily), and the best way to truly broaden your horizon!

Thanks for getting it :whistling:

and assasination( not likely) a sniper will be stored in a house if it's the vantage point or near it to not attract attention in populated areas weapons must be small and conciable. Missions in lower populated areas they will revive sillenced assult rifles and silenced shotguns with decresed spread and increased mag if spoted they are to if posible retrive the data or whatever it is or assasinate them if not they are to leave asap.
If detected and extraction isn't posible each soldier is issued 15 mags wichita each have 30 bullets a mag for assult rifle 10 for pistols or smg 1000 bullets if there has been a minigun stashed in the area and 10 mags for there shotgun each round has 25 shots and can penetate combat armour and even power armor if using ap rounds
for capturing a target soldiers will be issued rubber bullets to sundue the target and shock them if needed. all soldiers are issued a combat knife before each mission
each team consists of 1-6 soldiers.

My eyes are on fire.

WASTELAND SECURITY ARMY (also know as WSA)

A group of mercenaries (around 100 men) all with combat experience.
There a tight group and you first have to prove your self in combat before you join.
They work for whoever pays them the most but they don't attack civilians, there jobs are purely military.
There soldiers wear reinforced security armor (you know, the one from dead money) for good maneuverability and good protection.
And every member of a squad (6 men in a squad one of them is a marksman and one them is a grenadier) is given a automatic rifle and the marksman is given a sniper rifle(instead of a AR) and the grenadier a grenade launcher(DUH) .
All of them have gotten CQC training and room clearing tactics.
But there still better at defending position (trenches) than an all out charge because of there numbers.

The Good springs International Airforce and Army (GSIA (pronounced guy-SAH))
Karma: Good
Weapons: Flying robots, AA guns, and the norm.

Underneath the small village of Good springs lies an old airstrip. Keen to find something from it, [that old guy] explored and activated it: only to find a huge army of flying robots!

The Road Ragers
Equipment- Leather jacket outfit with logo (logo consists of a motorcycle flying down a road with flames flying from the muffler, igniting the road behind it)
shotguns/rifles/pistols/molotovs

Karma: Neutral/good

Purpose: The Road Ragers own and operate a factory that builds motorcycles that run off of a special liquid made from various plants in the wasteland. They don't attack unless provoked, and mainly target Legion camps. They are mostly a nomadic tribe, but rumors have it they have a base for north in Utah where they build and repair the bikes and weapons. Due to their seclusion, they are wary of wastelanders, but won't attack them for getting to close to their home. Many people have tried to track the Ragers to learn their secrets of transportation, but none have ever been captured for questioning.
