Authors note: the fallout series is one of my favorite games. Bethesda has done a great job with the two installments thay have published.

Bio-

It's been four years since the Minutemen took the fight to the Institute in in the year 2287 but at no small fee. The Minutemen lost half their forces in the fighting and would have lost but thanks to the Brotherhood of steel {which was convinced to help by the lone wanderer}were able to fight their way into the ruins of C.I.T and destroyed the Institute. During the fighting Preston Garvey was injured during the battel for the generator room and sacrificed himself giving the others a chance to escape before blowing the generators destroying the Institute.

The commonwealth was safe for a time but destroying the Institute had unseen consequences. During the battel the prydwen was badly damaged by the EMP from the Institutes fusion generators exploding, liberty prime also was badly damaged forcing the Brotherhood of steel to retreat back to the capital wasteland for much needed repairs.

With the Minutemen spread thin and the Brotherhood gone the raiders numbers begin to grow the spread out over the commonwealth hitting trade routes and hitting settlements. The large amount of radiation from the explosion also had its affect causing more intense radiation storms making it almost impossible to travel during the storm seasons. The radiation also attracted feral ghouls from the surrounding areas making supply runs for the settlements extremely dangerous.

Just before the institute exploded the lone wanderer sounded an alarm telling all sentient synths to escape with x-1's help they eluted the Brotherhood forces and were able to make it to the teleporter and out into the commonwealth. Multiple synths were teleported out of the Institute into random locations. Some looking for the sanctuary of the Railroad some joining up with the Minutemen others just wondering into settlements looking for a new life making sure no one became aware of their past.

Diamond city still stood as the green Jewel of the commonwealth but not without recession. With the Brotherhood gone the super mutants numbers grow also. In the first year after the institute fell multiple raids against the city dwindled the security down to only a hand full and damaged the walls integrity. During the last raid diamond city would have fell if the Minutemen lead by Ronnie shew hadn't had pulled a surprise attack on the super mutants forcing them to retreat into the booby-trapped commons when the mutants were in the commons the Minuteman blow explosives placed killing most of the mutants and trapping the rest inside.

With help from the settlements diamond city was able to get the resources it needed and was able to repair the wall. The Minutemen had defended diamond city a second time dawning a new age for the commonwealth, one full of dangers for its inhabits
