From The Vault
New California Republic (NCR), originally known as Shady Sands, is the capital of a federation of towns in California of the same name. It has a population of more than 3000 people.
[edit] History
[edit] Shady Sands
The New California Republic was born out of the remnants of the survivors of Vault 15, a sister vault to Vault 13 that opened earlier and released its occupants out onto the wasteland. Abandoning their vault (after scavenging most of what they could from the surviving technology and collapsed lower levels), the former residents of Vault 15 founded the small walled community of Shady Sands, a town midway between Vault 13 and 15. In the 2160s, this community was led by Aradesh.
[edit] Rise of the NCR
The daughter of Aradesh, Tandi, eventually rose to become president of the sprawling New California Republic. (Without the efforts of the Vault Dweller in F1, however, the raiders in the region - the Khans - would have claimed Shady Sands and stamped out the republic before it even got started). At the time of Fallout 2, NCR's main resource are its great brahmin herds, which provide most of the wasteland with as much meat and leather as they require. The brahmin barons and ranchers in NCR (along with the Stockmen's Association) hold a great deal of sway with the caravans and the government.
[edit] Appearances
The New California Republic was first mentioned in the Fallout 1 end cutscenes for Shady Sands and it first appeared in Fallout 2.
