Aloha Islands locations

This page lists down all of the locations in the Aloha Islands.
== Locations ==
The six islands of Hawaii are all unique in some way or form, this is evident especially today, as civilization tries to reestablish itself. On some islands, more successfully than others...
=== The Aloha Islands ===
The Aloha Islands as they've come to be called these days. Is an archipelago that exists out of the following Islands:
----
=== Pearl Island ===
Pearl island was known as O'ahu Island before the war, but quickly got its name changed to the more easy sounding name of Pearl Island, mainly because of the Aloha Island's Capital.
==== Pearl City ====
'Pearl City' is located on the remains of an old Navy harbor there. It was the only island that got hit by an atomic bomb, namely the city of Honolulu got hit, a crater still remains in the center of the city. Now the city bears a close resemblance with the usual cities on the mainland of the US. North of the city, on the main road connecting the Northern coast with the southern coast, lies the entrance to the only Vault on the archipelago. Vault 4. A large majority of citizens in Pearl City are descendants of Vault 4. A bunch of other settlements are on the island, whom have barely any connection with the city.
==== Dudeville ====
Dudeville on the Northern shoreline is a settlement of surfers who dig the big waves caused by the anomalies in the weather. They are mostly harmless Anarchists whom bother no one. In fact they are mostly avoided by others because they are slackers of no value what so ever.
==== Laie ====
Laie is a small settlement based in the ruins of the town of the same name. They are of native Polynesian descent who've survived somehow and follow old world values. They don't allow outsiders in for anything else but business. And mostly don't trust people from "the city"
==== Trigger Happy Son'sabitches! ====
Trigger Happy Son'sabitches! is a raider gang or something that comes the closest to it, a blight on Pearl Island they steal and enslave whomever they please. They sit on a large ammo stock left behind on the deserted Marine base of MCBH, they wish to improve their stock by claiming Pearl City, who's Pearl Harbor storage serves as a deterrent against these marauders.
----
=== The Desert One ===
The Desert One was known as Lanai Island before the war. It received its new name because of its desert environment, and general lack of trees. Vegetation is on-par with the Mojave Desert. The sheer lack of desire to come up with a name for it was sort of embraced by the clear-cut and peaceful farming people who live there.
==== Dirt City ====
As descriptive as it sounds. A settlement of one street that in the middle of a desert called 'Dirt City' as sort of an ironic take on their main trading partner and post apocalyptic Metro-pole: Pearl City (on Pearl Island). Dirty City exists out of low-built 'one floor' houses with destroyed front lawns and little to no activity other than of farming. They possess of a trading hub, the Herb store where people from all across the islands come to buy their medicinal or 'stress relieving' herbs. But they also sell own-grown desert fruits, grown on the fields just outside of town.
There are some remnants of the old civilization on the island like an airport and a holiday resort but these places are deserted and of no use of the people living there.
The town is prone to raider attacks, but when the going gets though, the people of the desert one get tougher, don't underestimate them. For they are well armed and don't take well on being pushed around by any muscle whether it be pirates or Pearl City smooth talkers.
----
=== Lady Leisure ===
The 'just' above board leisure island was formed by disgruntled bar and brothel owners of Pearl City, who's bureaocrats wanted to regulate their business, so they took it elsewhere on the former island of Moloka'i. And built a boardwalk of leisure around an old Beach Resort named Brightlight. The nature on the island is dry and generally peaceful, but still treacherous and filled with mutated beasts. There's an abandoned lighthouse on Point Kaulapapa.
It's also known as just: Whore Island.
==== The Bar Strip ====
The main venues are all build neatly in old bars and clubs from before the war. The Blast of Honolulu didn't reach this island so other than dust collection and a few broken chairs and windows that can't be replaced, it looks scarily like it did before the bombs fell. Most owners are sleazy types but just above board enough not to be part of a pirate settlement. There's low end card game casinos, since there's not enough power for the slots or anything else. Bars with lots of overdue strong drink and brothels/strip clubs where ladies (and sometimes boys) can be hired for carnal activities.
==== Point Kaulapapa ====
Point Kaulapapa is beyond the remains of jungle inland north from The Bar Strip. It's an old abandoned light house, and west of it lie the remains of a small catholic church. It's said to be a romantic or haunted spot, depending on who you ask.
----
=== Pirate Cove ===
Before the war it was known as Maui Island. Now it is a place of lowlifes and ill repute. Black markets, dealings between sea-raiders (pirates) or whomever has dirt on his or her name. There is little to no law and there's no real leader. Think of all the bad qualities of Mankind, you'd probably find some fitting specimen with them in the Pirate Cove.
Beyond the valley between the North and South Docks there's hostile jungles filled with mutated wild life. It's a place where evidence or bodies disappear.
==== Pirate Landing ====
The main docking area where sea-raiders leave their ships, these can range from old one motor fisher boats to old tankers. Depending on how big the pirate gang is. There is a loose no-kill rule in this small dock-town but it doesn't take much to set something off. Whorehouses, Dens, Criminal empires. All can be found within the valley down to the Haleakala Docks in the south.
----
=== Volcano Rock ===
Volcano Rock used to be known as Hawai'i island and is the biggest island of the archipelago. Most of the terrain is dry and steep with little to no vegetation. Its volcano is massive and incredibly tall. And active streams of lave leak from cracks flooding most of the western coast of the island, the place where lava and radioactive ocean meet is truly an amazing sight to behold, but it also inadvertently created lava resistant sharks whom swim up the lava flows into the mainland.
==== The Enlightened ====
Or so 'they' call themselves. A weird cult of men and woman who claim to have met with those beyond. They speak in riddles and praise the scientific research files they found in the old NASA observatories as religious text. Every visitor or initiate to their order must take a pilgrimage up the volcano follow the road of scientific trials to the Observatory on the upper crust of the mountain, where the atmosphere is light and you can truly open your mind. if you disagree with them or do not accept the trails they will kill you.
==== Observatory ====
The old NASA space observatory was built here because of how high up it was, and the clear skies created amicable conditions for star gazing. it's now a place laced with homemade incense and utterly holy to those who follow this mysterious religion the old ones of the enlightened call "science".
----
=== Jungles Of Kauai ===
Or simply "Jungle Island" is the only island that managed to keep its old name somewhere in the title. Kauai island. Mainly because there are songs about it.
Jungles of Kauai is the most thickly forested island of all. It's quite large as well. The forest suffered greatly under the Radioactive fallout, causing large spread droughts and infertility, but not a single plant was uprooted or blasted away because the Honolulu bomb didn't reach the island. Not even the heat, it is generally further away from the other islands and can't be seen from any of them. The Jungles are home to many beasts and other dangers.
==== Kauai Administration ====
A single building settlement of sorts which is the main hub for the Pearl City exploration effort. Because of its distance Kauai was only recently rediscovered and although old maps tell of the general size and terrain of the island, whatever might've manifested after the bombs is unknown. The building stands in an old town, along with an abandoned factory complex. A proper settlement is sure to follow.
==== Principality of Roger ====
Roger is the son of the King Steven, who's recent death let the jungle kingdom in the hands of the young prince. A kingdom, empire and cult all rose up around this little makeshift civilization. The prince regent rules with an iron first. They possess no greater weapons that blades and spears crafted with stone and bronze. And literally know nothing of anything outside of their community. Except for the...
==== Pink Flamingo Tribe ====
This tribe of heathens raid and attack the principality often, yelling chants and a language nobody understands they are dangerous and cannot (or so it appears) be reasoned with. They are called Pink Flamingo Tribe because in their shrine along the southern coast they praise their god "Pink Flamingo". Little do they know it's an old garden ornament from before the war.
----
=== Black Star Island ===
Originally known as Ni'haa Island, this mysterious collection of duneland is completely void of life, yet the Trans-Pacific Ferry Service is willing to take interested parties there if they pay. Some did, but a settlement never gets started and the settlers always end up missing, dead or something generally unpleasant befalls them. Some say the smallest island in the archipelago is cursed.
==== Ghatanothoa Manor ====
A long name, but that's just how it is called. An old wooden manor that's in a state of decay. It looks peaceful and is mainly what the eye gravitates to when someone lands on this small rock. It's not even a mile wide so it isn't hard.
== Vaults ==
=== Vault 4 ===
This Vault is the only official Vault-Tec Nuclear Fallout Shelter present on the islands of Hawaii. Located on Pearl Island, formerly known as O'ahu it was built near the main road that connected the North and South coast of the island, incidentally the most traveled road on the island. Far enough from Honolulu to not get completely obliterated by crippling heat and yet not too far away from the city so that it was possible to get there in time, a mere five minute drive.
Vault 4 was not planned to have a social experiment, its great distance from Mainland US soil would make data collection almost impossible in case of an all-out nuclear war. Instead is would do exactly what the brochure said it would, having the normal capacity and standard accommodations. Not so much for the benefit of the potential Vault-dwellers, but as a way to keep show the United States that Vault-Tec would build enough vaults for everyone and all across the nation. Essentially Vault 4 was build to reassure the citizens and holiday-goers of Hawaii that Vault-Tec was there in case of an emergency.
Interestingly enough, Vault 4 was one of the few Vaults that did not require an entrance fee or prerequisite psychological tests. It would be free for everyone until the limit of a five-hundred people was achieved. Then the doors would close automatically, regardless of family or rank.
