NCR Exiles

Screw the NCR!

Elias Blackthorne

The **NCR Exiles** were originally a faction from the Fallout: New Vegas mod, Fallout: The Frontier. Now, they are one of many Usonian nations on the planet, Usonia, and is under a military command of Elias Blackthorn, the founder and leader of the NCR Exiles. They even went as far as ruining the NCR flags they had to add insult to the New California Republic with many flags saying "LIARS!", "WARHAWKS!", "SCUMBAGS!" and many other insults with the word, "EXILES" in the bottom red bar to further identifying themselves that have been spray painted.

## History

In Fallout: The Frontier, the NCR Exiles consist of NCR veterans and conscripted soldiers from the NCR-Brotherhood War that ended with HELIOS One. After several months of supervising the power plant, General Blackthorne, the commander of the conscripted forces, arrived at Camp McCarran to receive his group's discharge papers. He was instead ordered by General Lee Oliver to defend Hoover Dam from the impending Legion assault. Knowing that, once again, his soldiers would become cannon fodder for the NCR war machine, General Blackthorne made the decision to abandon the NCR and flee into the Frontier.

Except now they've been kicked out along with many other modded factions when the second phase of the apocalypse arrived and the founding of the United Nations and Creations. They ended-up in a world similar in terms of cold and bitterness with ruins identical to Portland from the Frontier found in the continent of North Columbus of Usonia. The good news is that they no longer have to deal with any of the Scavs from the Frontier. The bad news: they still have to fight against the Northern Legion that claimed the northeastern parts and now calling the land and their country, Northern Rome. To the east, the Crusaders of Steel made a claim in a small mountain range with some fertile valleys that they call, New Mormon. There are even a few creatures from Fallout: The Frontier present that cause some problems including Gargantuan Ghouls and even Scav Goliaths. Yet in the center of these three nations, there is the remains of Archimedes II that all three fight each other to claim this prize. For how they all and the ruins got there is still unknown.

As such, they completely ignore any request about joining other factions as they were busy setting up their own nation while also dealing with the other two enemies they have. They are also keeping the stargate in their capital in order to accept people that are fed up with living under the hawkish regime of the NCR and treat them as fellow citizens.

## Government

The NCR Exiles are under a military dictatorship being led by General Elias Blackthorne as he leads his people to a new life and have been leading ever since.

## Economy

The NCR Exiles don't have much of an economy as they prefer to isolate themselves from outside influence. It also includes the Cascadia Republic from another Fallout mod since it has more friendly relations with the NCR. Instead of the NCR dollars, they use good old fashion bottlecaps like much of the rest of the wasteland did before moving out.

Much of the trade is done locally between settlements and military camps as Shaggy Bighorner carts are used for short distances while delivery van and threaded bus vehicles are used for long travels in order to deliver goods and supplies across the country. Vertibirds, rather transport Vertibirds, are used for getting to more areas that are not easily accessible.

There are two chems that can be found in the NCR Exiles which includes the General Prophylactic and Macinol. General Prophylactic is a special medical chem that restores not only health but also remove a certain amount of radiation that can easily be made by using Stimpacks, iodine, and vodka. Macinol is a type of painkiller comprised of a semi-potent, synthetic opioid compound with a rapid onset. It was considered an alternative to Med-X as it could be taken orally, without the pain of injection and with similar results and less side effects. However, it also increases one's endurance and even restore damage limbs.

H-Bomb Energy Drink is a local soda drink that was originally from the Frontier where the NCR Exiles were at, but now it can be found all over North Columbus. There is the original H-Bomb, H-Bomb Apple Cider, and H-Bomb Commie Crushing Candy Corn. Sapphire Nuka-Cola was rare back in the Frontier, yet now there is more of them in North Columbus that outsiders would like to get as many as they could but ended-up detained.

Salt is the main prize in the NCR Exiles as it is used for seasoning food and to keep the much of the frost off of some of the intact roadways and areas of commerce. There are plenty of salt mines scattered about as they also mine for other resources needed to maintain much of their vehicles and equipment.

## Military

The main military force is the NCR Exiled Forces that are comprised of veterans and conscripted soldiers from the Battle of HELIOS One in the NCR-Brotherhood War. Originally they were supposed to be discharge after the battle. But with Caesar's Legion attack on Hoover Dam, they were forced to fight again. However, General Blackthorne had his troops retreated north into the Frontier, a wasteland located at Portland, Washington state. And now, those same soldiers continue to fight and safeguard their new home from any threats.

They may not have much in terms of advance technology and firepower like the Crusaders that now reside in New Mormon but they have numbers and have a multitude of Vertibirds and have some tanks such as the P-8 Mouse light tank and the tanks that look like the tanks from Fallout Tactics that are described as M4 Sherman-esque. Even though they lack the advance firepower, they managed to salvage a small number of them such as laser and plasma weapons from abandoned factories. But these weapons are used by special divisions pending on the situation. Same about the power armor.
