In 2279 the Brotherhood of Steel finally ended its war with the Enclave and ended the faction once and for all. Immediately after the Brotherhood exterminated the Enclave they turned their attention to the Super Mutants, thanks to the Lone Wanderer they knew where the Super Mutants were coming from, Vault 87. They launched an attack on the Vault only to find that it was virtually empty, most of the Super Mutants had abounded the place after Fawkes and the Lone Wanderer killed the majority of the population. In the months that followed the Super Mutants migrated north and abandoned the Capital Wasteland, the few that remained were quickly put down by the Brotherhood. In 2281 the Brotherhood of Steel declared war on the ruthless mercenary group Talon Company, the war lasted nine long years, the Brotherhood of Steel lost countless soldiers in the war and were forced to start recruiting new members. Near the end of the year Elder Lyons passed away and Sarah Lyons became the new Elder, the Brotherhood of Steel prospered under Sarah’s leadership but this period of prosperity ended in 2295 when the Blood Pack appeared in the Capital Wasteland and declared war on the Brotherhood of Steel. Thinking they were nothing more than a small mercenary group in over their heads the Brotherhood sent a small squad of fifty men to deal with the Blood Pack, all of them died. Knowing they had a serious threat the Brotherhood got ready for war. Ever since the Brotherhood hasn’t been doing great in the war with the Blood Pack, they’re currently losing the war.

The Blood Pack

In 2286 the remnants of the Talon Company headed west to rebuild the Talon Company, they ended up discovering a network of large towns they ended up recruiting nearly every citizen of each town, over a nine year period they built an army that rivalled the Brotherhood of Steel. In 2295 they launched an attack on the Brotherhood of Steel and started to set up camps in the western section of the Capital Wasteland, they headed north to the ruins of Raven Rock and managed to get into Raven Rock and rebuild a fairly large portion of it. The Blood Pack has been doing extremely well in their war against the Brotherhood of Steel.

The Bounty Hunting Club

What started as one bounty inspired several Megatonians to form a club that revolved around completing bounties. They used the Lone Wanderer’s old house as their base of operations since he was often called the King of Bounty Hunting. The Club has its own shop and bar for its hunters, they’re both run by Brooks. The Bounty Hunting Club doesn’t have a leader, but Hunter Lock is the oldest and most experienced Bounty Hunter of the group and is one of the original members. Hunter hands out the bounties and is somewhat of an advisor for the other Bounty Hunters; he gives them tips and advice on how to handle their bounties.

The Undead

Currently the Undead is nothing more than a gang of Ghouls who are against the bigots of Megaton; they make their lives a living hell and have even murdered a few.

The Cult

When The Cult of Atom was exiled from Megaton, some members decide to renounce their belief and the others go on to form the Cult. Little is known about the Cult but they reside Farragut station, what goes on in those tunnels is unknown.
Matius Network

Created by former Talon Company mercenaries, led by Devlin Matius. The Matius Network HQ operates in between the road to Megaton and Springvale in a medium sized building built using the caps from the Talon Company and their freelance work. The Matius Network is a six person team that specializes in gathering and selling any type of intelligence.

Many of the smaller and a few of the larger gangs have their eyes set on Matius Network because of their former ties with Talon Company and their reputation within Megaton. Matius Network has a few eyes and ears here and there using their money. In recent days though, they are running out of cash and despite their fierce independence, might have to settle for merging with another gang.
