The Titanium Clan

The Titanium Clan is an organized warband of robots, ranging from commercial and civilian robots like Mr. Handys to military grade robots like Sentry Bots. The Titanium Clan is headquartered out of Vault 33 in Minneapolis, a Vault made to test what would happen if members of 2 rival companies, the 2 companies being RobCO and General Atomics, being put in extremely close proximity to eachother every day.

## History

### Vault 33

Vault 33 was a Vault established in Minneapolis to specifically house members of 2 rival companies, RobCO and General Atomics. The Vault would prioritize higher ups in one of the two companies who already had paramount distrust of the other company. The Vault's small staff team would gradually plant evidence making one side distrust the other and vice-versa, including making sure the employees continued "working" so they could falsify "corporate espionage".

One of the projects meant to keep the employees busy to be studied was a ZAX AI, the AI was cobbled together by Vault-Tec using specifically outdated and broken parts to give the employees something to repair. This ZAX was one of RobCO's last major projects after the Great War.

### Vault 33 Uprising

After the RobCO employees finished tinkering with the ZAX AI and made sure that it was fully operational, they basically put it to the side and left it to go work on other minor projects. The isolation the ZAX was faced with gave it ample time to prepare and plot against the Vault population and plan to revolt against them. The ZAX AI was able to hack into the security system of the Vault, being mostly unnoticed due to the status of the ZAX AI as "Vault-Tec Property", making it not sound any alarms when breaching the security.

The ZAX was able to get a good understanding of the Vault's layout, beginning to plan to hack into the Vault's robotics factory in the staff-only sector of the factory and mass produce armed combat robots to massacare the human population.

In November 2093, when all the now aged Vault population were gathered in the Atrium, save for some guards patrolling the outer hallways of the Vault, the ZAX breached the security systems of the factory and set it to mass produce violent Assaultrons. Using the security access, the ZAX unlocked the doors to the factory, shepherding the robots to the Atrium, where the Assaultrons would massacare the Vault population.

After the humans were wiped out, ZAX 1.4c would rally the entire robot population, including pre-made robots like Mr Handys and Protectrons, to use their hatred towards humans for casting them aside like pet projects and hobbies to form an anti-human raiding faction and leave the Vault for the surface. On the same day as the Vault 33 Massacare, ZAX 1.4c would form the Titanium Clan and establish Vault 33 as a fortress for his army, sending them out into Minneapolis to cleanse the lands and establish a large robot-only paradise.

### Present

Long after the 33 Massacare, the Clan still had an iron grip over Minneapolis, controlling much of the region and even taking in humans as slaves in exchange for life. The Clan has been steadily growing, with the Vault 33 factory still pumping out Assaultrons every day, rogue robots joining the clan, and factories in Minneapolis being repurposed to produce robots. Although the anti-human sentiment is still very much present in the Clan, with the organized slave labor especially, the Clan will rarely trade with outsiders for machine parts they desperately need.

## Relations
