» Sun Dec 02, 2012 2:22 am So.. Quite simply, a thread for the question of, If you could make a faction in the Fallout Universe, what would it be?
Some stuff to include could be
-Name
-Flag
-Origin
-Population
-Places they control
-Uniform/ armour (If any)
-Role (ie the 'Good guys' or 'Bad guys')
-Main weaponry (Guns,Energy, Incendiary ,Melee, Unarmed etc)
-Military structure
-Backstory
-Enemies or alliances
-Time the faction is around
Anyway, I'll Start, Yes?
NOTE: I am using the fact that the NCR won at the Dam, but the legion still maintains their presence in the Mojave largely as it was before, in a stalemate.
Name- (Undecided)
Flag- Radiation symbol in an upside down arc with spikes on top. Most commonly seen on a faded flag of pre War America due to scarce resources in their territory.
Origin- A Vault south of New Vegas called Vault 47
Population- Approx 7-900
Places they control- Vault 47 (their main base), Nuclear test site, Fort Mohave and Mohave valley, Numerous communities which have been built since the war
Around- 2241- Present
Armour- Due to their Vault Experiment(See Below), Their armour consists of Prototype Radiation Suit(See Below) with coverings of Combat armour, Riot/NCR Ranger armour or Power armour, depending on Rank. (Power armour containing parts of T-45D, T-51B and Hellfire)
Role- A neutral faction, acting as a Middle Ground between NCR and Legion, Both of which are enemies due to numerous clashes in the south. Thy are mainly not assaulted due to radiation near their forward base in the Mojave, due to heavy radiation and Ghouls.
Main Weaponry- This factions main weaponry is Flamers, Incinerators, Shishkebabs, Molotovs, Fire bombs, Anti Material Rifles, Other Heavy weapons and a homemade 'Pistol' including an Aerosol can and a Lighter. This is because of the belief of fully destroying enemies, leaving no trace of their civilisation.
Military structure- The squad system is that;
Squad- a squad is of a specialised nature, consisting of 5 members and a commander.
Battle group- 3 squads put together, under the command of a Veteran Commander
Assault force- Generally under command of a Senior Commander, they can be the size of a small army, Such as the one in the Mojave. These are generally the bulk of the Factions military power.
Infantryman- Regen suit with Combata armour and NCR trooper armour on top
Commander- Same armour as infantryman but with a Breathing mask welded on and pieces of Advanced combat armour/ MK II
Veteran- Has NCR Ranger/ Riot(Normal, Advanced and Elite) armour pieces instead of combat armour
Senior- Has pieces of (Mainly) Hellfire armour but with pieces from nearly all variants.
Backstory- They were originally came from vault 47, a Vault with an abundance of radiation suits of all types. This vault was also home to the prottype Regen suit, which took radiation in the air, and converted it into the same stuff as a Stimpack injection, using tech from the Sierra madre vending machines and the Big MT. They were designed to let soldiers fight in Irradiated areas after a Nuclear War, therefor, it was mainly soldiers and other personnell with military training and their families let in. There was even a hangar with a Vertibird in it, which was rarely used unless it was Severe importance. but the tech never saw full use, and only a fewdozen were made. The ones in the vault were there due to the Reactor being designed to fail and to see how well the suit worked and the extent of the Radiation Resistance. The tech was built into the other suits over time until every person was equipped with the newly named 'Regen Suits'.
When they emerged, a small town, full of raiders, was near the vault, and so, this was the first time the suits saw combat. of the security force in the vault, they swept through the irradiated town an clutched it from the raiders, with losses of 6-35. As they settled in their new town, other groups began to attack. They started to assimilate groups and saw how they would clutch onto their old ways while there was still signs of their towns, So the faction began to completely burn away everything with fire and quickly abandoned using firearms as their primary weapon, preffering to torch towns and hostiles, so nothing remained. They became hostile to nearly any civilisation that showed any means of being a threat and this led to a hatred for NCR, Legion, Brotherhood and Enclave. They would start to wear parts of armour from their fallen foes, as trophies.
Then, shortly after the second Battle at Hoover Dam, they emerged through the irradiated sands of the pre-War Nuclear testing grounds, and advance scouts laid eyes on the Mojave. Their army arrived in small groups, at first, but grew larger each day, until most of the deep south of the Mojave was under their control. They entrenched in their only way in in the test site, where they were strongest due to the radiation being able to heal them in an assault. they also control the Crashed vertibird, Searchlight airport and Camp searchlight. the airport being a base for their Captured Vertibirds and even a bomber.
Alliances- the Boomers are in an alliance due to similar methods of fighting and goals, Nellis AFB has a new flag above it and some Helicopters due to this alliance. They are hostile to almost every other major faction though.
If anyone has ideas for a faction name, I'll gladly hear suggestions.
