F76 First Expeditionary Force

The Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force is an faction of Brotherhood of Steel soldiers sent from Lost Hills to re-establish contact with the original Appalachian Brotherhood, who were almost entirely wiped out by the Scorched Plague. After arriving in the region in 2104, they founded Fort Atlas in a pre-War observatory, and took up the mantle of their fallen predecessors. They are among the few groups in Appalachia to develop post-War power armor and energy weapons. They appear in Fallout 76, introduced in the Steel Dawn update.

General Chase

Constantine Chase was a pre-War U.S. Army general who commanded the United States troops during the Battle of Anchorage in Alaska. He was responsible for commissioning the Liberty Prime project and the Anchorage Reclamation simulation. During the Tranquility Lane quest, the notes on the Chinese Invasion Simulation suggest that it was programmed by Chase's people at the request of Dr. Braun. A simulated version of General Chase appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage, where he acts as a primary questgiver within the Anchorage Reclamation simulation, of which the real Chase was involved in the development.

FO3 Vault 92 door closed

Vault 92 is a Vault in the Capital Wasteland. Constructed by the Vault-Tec Corporation, the world's best musicians were invited to this Vault, ostensibly to preserve artistic talent in the event of nuclear war. Vault 92's true purpose, however, was an experimental study in the creation of super soldiers. By exposing the citizens of the Vault to white noise, the Vault's overseer and doctor induced a trance-like state in its residents. While in the trance, the citizens became susceptible to mind control and were thus manipulated for research. The Vault is abandoned by 2277, and appears as a location in Fallout 3.

Randall Clark (February 5, 2053 – January 23, 2124) was a former U.S. Army soldier who took refuge in Zion National Park following the disaster of the Great War. His solitary existence and fierce protection of the inhabitants of Zion against outside threats earned him a mythical stature among his wards, leading to his establishment as The Father in the Cave(s), a divine figure of the Sorrows. His intermittent journal entries and camps scattered throughout the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts act as his autobiography. It shows him becoming "The Father," his life ending with the rebirth of a group of children into the Sorrows tribe and Clark unwittingly immortalized as their deity.

Liberty Prime is a U.S. Army pacification robot, originally designed to aid American troops in the liberation of Alaska from communist China. Yet another project commissioned by General Chase, it was not completed on schedule and America was forced to fight a long bloody battle using their other secret weapon, the more successful and reasonably-scaled power armor. Upon their arrival in the Capital Wasteland, the Brotherhood of Steel discover the non-functional giant in the ruins of the former Pentagon. It is this discovery that earns Owyn Lyons a promotion to Elder and spurs the construction of a permanent Brotherhood base in the ruins of Washington, D.C., later to be known as the Citadel.

Fo1 Hub Townmap

The Hub is a major trading center and settlement established in an old town relatively untouched by the Great War. Since its foundation, the Hub became an economic powerhouse, as a crossroads for commerce and staging base for caravan houses, a major producer of agricultural goods thanks to the farms surrounding the city, and supplier of vital water for much of New California. The caravan houses that work the routes trade in everything: chems, tires, guns, bullets, food, brahmin, dirt, even scraps of metal. It is a major location in Fallout, but continues to play a major role in the backstory of subsequent games.

Living in the Boneyard just to the north of Adytum in a pre-War nightclub, the Blades are a group of survivalists lead by a beautiful woman who goes by the name of Razor. While a peaceful group, overall, they are persecuted by the Regulators, who both coerce them into doing their bidding and frame them for crimes against the people of Adytum. Their intent is to make the town appear to be seriously threatened by the Blades as an excuse for the Regulators own repressive policies there.

Protector Casdin

Protector Henry Casdin is the leader of the Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts in the Capital Wasteland. According to Elder Owyn Lyons, he was one of the best fighters in the Brotherhood of Steel before he took other Brotherhood members and formed the Outcasts in order to continue the original mission. He trades the Lone Wanderer for technology that is acquired across the Wasteland and in return gives out useful supplies that the Outcasts' possess in abundance (see The Outcast Collection Agent).

Seymour is an unusual, intelligent, talking spore plant living in Broken Hills. He was grown from a tiny spore and nurtured by the insane Professor, but he realized from an early age that if he were to act as smart as he truly is, the professor would cut him into pieces to examine him. Therefore, Seymour played dumb and got planted outside.

The Oasis is a place somewhere in the Capital Wasteland that is unusually full of trees and other green plants. Harold, a special product of the Forced Evolutionary Virus, with a tree on his head which he called Bob, found himself overwhelmed by it and became rooted to the ground during his travels in the Capital Wasteland. Here he was discovered by several people who began to worship him as a god, and a small and exclusive cult known as the Treeminders began to form in secrecy. Bob began to blossom (which Harold apparently finds embarrassing) and many plants grew in this area, which became green with life, a stark contrast to the outer wasteland.

FO3 Head of State stage 3

Abraham Lincoln, sometimes honored as the Great Emancipator, was the 16th president of the United States of America, serving from 1861 to 1865. Lincoln is idolized by the Abolitionists, escaped slaves who seek to bring down the institution of post-War slavery in the same way that Lincoln ended slavery in pre-War America. In that same vein, Lincoln is despised by the slavers, who seek to destroy as much of his legacy as possible, whether that be personal effects or the memorial to his name built in Washington, D.C.

Andale is a location in the southern area of the Capital Wasteland in 2277 in Fallout 3. Andale is touted by its residents as "the greatest town in Virginia." However, the town holds a very dark secret. Four families survived the nuclear war and remained in Andale, eventually taking to cannibalism after their food supplies ran out. Since then, the murder and consumption of outsiders, along with inbreeding between the Andale families, have become a tradition passed down from generation to generation.

Nick Valentine is a synthetic private detective living in Diamond City in 2287. Following their awakening, the Sole Survivor hires him to help locate their missing son, after which he offers them his services as a companion. He is a major character in Fallout 4. The synth that became Nick Valentine was created by the Institute over a century before 2287. He was one of two unique prototype Gen 2 synths used to test if and how synths could handle independent thinking and personalities. Nick was implanted with an artificial personality based on memory recordings of pre-War humans (the pre-War cop Nick Valentine) while the other synth, named DiMA, was allowed to develop his own personality based upon experiences.

Originally constructed for use by the Enclave on the East Coast, "Subject E" was the fifth of its eyebot series built by Doctor Whitley at Adams Air Force Base around 2275. Once ED-E's logs are discovered, the Brotherhood of Steel and the Followers of the Apocalypse will express interest in it, offering upgrades in exchange for its data in the quest ED-E My Love.

Full moon FNV

The Moon is an astronomical body seen throughout the Fallout series. On July 16th, 1969, as part of the Valiant 11 mission a team from the United States Space Administration in the Virgo II lunar lander landed on the Moon, the first human beings to do so. In 2020, the Delta IX series of rockets were commissioned by the United States Space Administration, which underwent missions to the Moon, one of which was the 17-day Zeus 12. American forces are mentioned as having fought at the Sea of Tranquility, on the surface of the Moon, to secure the nation's freedom.

Fo1 Brotherhood Interior

Lost Hills is the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel in New California, located northwest of Junktown and the Hub, southeast of the Mariposa Military Base and south of Vault 13. Lost Hills was a pre-War government security bunker. Located almost entirely underground, the only indication of the presence of this installation was a small, reinforced structure containing the primary access elevator. After the Brotherhood seized the location, two sentries in powered armor stood guard at the entrance at all times. It appears as a location in Fallout.

Psycho is a military-grade, performance-enhancing chem in all Fallout games. A military-grade psychosis-inducing amphetamine, Psycho is provided in a unique delivery system that mixes strange chemicals of military origin immediately prior to injection. The drug was created by a private company, operated as a research division of the United States Army, founded by General Constantine Chase. It entered combat use during the final stages of the Anchorage Reclamation, to reduce the impact of attrition on U.S. forces deployed to the Alaskan front. Long term Psycho addiction may progress to the point that standard treatment options available in the wasteland, such as Addictol, are no longer effective in treating the habit.

FO01 NPC Lieutenant B

The Lieutenant or Lou, also lovingly dubbed Lou Tenant by some of his subordinates, is the Master's right hand and the overseer of all work inside Mariposa Military Base. Lou is a good example of how the Master would want his mutants to turn out: stronger, more intelligent, and overall superior to normal humans. He appears to be a rather sadistic character who thoroughly enjoys torturing the Vault Dweller, as well as arrogantly self-assured concerning the superiority of super mutants over normal humans and ghouls, referring to the former as the "next step in human evolution."

Mojave Wasteland map

The Mojave Wasteland is the region synonymous with the pre-War Mojave Desert, spanning large portions of the pre-War states of California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. It serves as the primary setting and gameworld of Fallout: New Vegas. In the years immediately following the bombs, the Mojave was largely ignored by the developing post-apocalyptic civilizations. When New California Republic scouts reached Hoover Dam with the intent of expanding the NCR's borders, pre-War Securitrons rolled out onto the old Las Vegas Strip and rallied the three tribes occupying the city, at the behest of Mr. House, the man who had saved the city centuries prior.

Fo2 Reactor Core quest img

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or radioactive decay process often used for the creation of nuclear weapons early in its discovery and later as a fuel source. It is mentioned throughout the Fallout series as a source of power generation, nuclear propulsion, other technologies central to the setting. Economic pressures culminated in what is best termed a nuclear economy in the United States of the 21st century, when shortages of petroleum and other resources forced the nation to switch to nuclear fission and nuclear fusion as the primary sources of energy.

FO76 Tanagra Town

Strangler plants or strangler vines are mutated plants native to the Mire in Fallout 76. After the explosion and core meltdown of Vault 94's G.E.C.K., a thick fog poured from the vault's entrance and down into the surrounding forest. It rapidly changed the biome downriver into a swampy jungle and infested the ruins with strangler vines, transforming the region into the Mire. In the pre-Plague period, the Appalachian Enclave took interest in the vines while researching the post-War ecosystem. They set up a field laboratory at Tanagra Town. The field laboratory quickly collapsed and all of the research was destroyed by an Enclave researcher who presumably went insane.

Mutations are a type of effect in Fallout 76. Mutations are acquired by the player when exposed to radiation. They provide both positive and negative effects. Mutations are semi-permanent effects that provide both positive and negative effects. It is possible to acquire up to 18 of the 19 available mutations at the same time. The exceptions are Carnivore and Herbivore, which prevent one another from being acquired. The Starched Genes perk allows for locking mutations, as it reduces/eliminates both the chance of becoming mutated and their removal chance.
