New Vegas : The Path Of Vengence

Preface

War. War..never changes.

When atomic fire consumed the Earth, those who survived did so in great underground vaults. When they opened, their inhabitance set out across the ruins of the old world to build new societies, establishing villages, forming tribes. As decades passed, what had been the American Southwest united, beneath the flag of the New California Republic (NCR), dedicated to old world values of democracy and the rule of law. As the republic grew, so did its needs, scouts spread out east seeking territory and wealth in the dry and merciless expanse of the Mohave Desert. There are tales of a city untouched by the warheads that had scorched the world, and a great wall spanning the Colorado River. The NCR mobilized its army and sent it East to occupy Hoover Dam to restore it to working condition. But across the Colorado, another society had arisen, under a different flag. A vast army of slaves, forged from the conquest of 86 tribes: Caesars Legion. Four years have passed since the Republic held the dam, just barley, against the Legion's onslaught. The Legion did not retreat. Across the river, it gathers strength, campfire burn, training drums beat. Through it all, the New Vegas strip has remained open for business under control by its mysterious overseer, Mr. House, and army of rehabilitated tribals and police robots. In the midst of it all is a courier, hired by the Mojave Express, to deliver a package to the New Vegas Strip. What seemed like a simple delivery job has taken a turn...for the worst.
