1. Introduction

War...war never changes. In the years following the Courier's journey for revenge across the Mojave Wasteland, the world he had created had become a shadow of the Old World, before the great bombs fell. The New California Republic defeated Caesar's Legion in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, removing them as a threat in the Mojave. The remnants of the Legion, known only as the Toro, began to build strength in the territory south of Cottonwood Cove. The New Vegas Strip was more prosperous than ever, and the three families that ran the strip vacated, along with Mr. House's death. In their place sat four replacement families. At the Tops, the Kings, who once ran Freeside, controlled and improved the reputation of the most visited casino on the strip. The Gomorrah gave a home to a new family, the Red Lights, who embraced the oldest profession in the world, prostitution, remnicient of the Omerta's. The Ultra Luxe became the home of the Picks, who played Old World rock music and had wild parties from dusk until dawn. The last casino on the strip, the Lucky 38, fell into the lap of the Enclave of the Bear, who immediatly transitioned it into a relic to the Old World Government, framing pictures of great presidents and events the United States were a part of. All the while, the New California Republic has remained in control of the Mojave, and a healthy relationship with the Nellis Boomers and the Brotherhood of Steel have improved relations with all kinds of tribes across the Wasteland. Across the Colorado, east of the Dam, however, something has crashed. A Correlian Infirmary Ship downed in the area of the Legate's Camp, and with it came new weapons, such as the Blaster Rifle, the Beam Sniper, the Fletchette Shotgun, and Blaster Pistol. The race to discover how to manufacture these weapons are being run by the NCR, the newly independant Gun Runners, and the technology obsessed Brotherhood of Steel. Yet, in the middle of it all, a young woman named Walker, born to an NCR Veteran Ranger and a young Tops casino receptionist, has begun to unlock the secrets of her abilities. She will soon learn her heritage, her powers strength, and who her destiny resides with in the battle on the horizon. Because war...war never changes...
