The Eden Compound
Just before the bombs fell in 2077, America’s government was evacuated to underground fortresses to weather out the nuclear storm. Tailored to the elite minds of the era, this installation was designed to house those with strong conservative and monotheistic beliefs. Cut off from direct contact with the rest of the Enclave, they were able to transmit and receive satellite messages intermittently during the initial lockdown. Once the Presidential Rig was destroyed on the west coast however, faith in an American resurgence was replaced with a belief that a higher power was needed to lead humanity back out of the dark age.
Over the last two hundred years a new religion has taken shape in the environment and politics underground, a dangerous deviation that puts them in conflict with anyone they encounter on the surface. They now believe that radiation is satanic in nature, a punishment for the wanton destruction and greed of mankind's progenitors. Those unwilling or unable to convert to their lifestyle are labeled as heretics, while anyone with obvious mutations are considered abominations and are treated like demons incarnate.
Although still reliant on several types of power cells to charge their armor and weapons, they have made truly impressive strides towards harvesting clean sustainable energy directly from the ley lines of the planet. Their reactor was shut down fifty years prior, with the area now being used to test technologies that can capture and safely dispose of radioactive particles autonomously. They have also traveled down darker scientific paths, helping develop several reprogrammed strains of FEV to kill mutants on contact. The data from one of these experiments even made its way all the way to the Capitol Wasteland.
Mission Statement
The development of technologies to remove human dependence on atomic energy is high priority for the Eden Compound. Using clean renewable energy from natural planetary sources they plan to revolutionize the wasteland under their rule.
Correcting flaws in humanity's gene pool has also eaten a lot of resources over the years. The closest they have come to 'fixing' this problem is a virus designed to kill anyone with corrupted DNA. Although it works perfectly well, it is more likely to annihilate the human race than save it.
Evangelists spread the message of their religion to anyone they consider a 'like-minded individual'. It preaches forgiveness through genetic purity, and rituals often involve dangerous medical procedures to eliminate as much corruption as possible.
- Numbers- <2000
- Technology Level- Inventions and improvements made since the Great War place them beyond even pre-war technologies
- Leadership- Theocracy based council
Accepted Forms of Currency
- Richardson Reserve is used within the Compound but it is effectively worthless to outsiders.
Not Hostile
Although no love is shared for one another, the slavers will trade their wares for food and water. Experiments require many different subjects, and this saves the Enclave considerable resources.
Unknown Hostile
While the Enclave was able to easily determine who raided Vault 162, the Crawler is unaware of the grievance they caused the sleeping titan.
Not Contacted
The Bastards would be more than happy to get their hands on the advanced tech carried by Enclave soldiers if they could find one. Great care is taken to avoid the hunting party, and doubly so to avoid their behemoths.
Hostile
Although the Brotherhood is not yet aware the exact location of the Enclave stronghold, they have suspicions that one is in the area. The Enclave on the other hand have no trouble tracking the movements of the 'Thunderbirds'.
Hostile
Considering heretics and deviants of the faith, the Society hunts the Enclave with both factions ordered to shoot on sight.
