Intro

War. War never the late 21st century the human race waged its last great war, the war of the over decades by the Earths dwindling non-renewable petroleum deposits, and tensions between the United States and China, the conflict reached its peak in October of 2077.

On October 23rd 2077 all hell broke loose, and the communist state of China launched a nuclear warhead at Washington DC.

Beijing, Toronto, Los. Angeles, New Delhi, and London were also destroyed in less than ten minutes. In two hours all cities with a population of over 100,000 were destroyed, and the people of the world burned.

Those who survived did so in massive underground vaults. Over 500,000 people were put into the vaults, but unknown to the residents the vaults were never designed to save anyone. They were rigged social experiments, like Vault 21 which was filled with compulsive gamblers and Vault 43 which was populated by 20 men, 10 women, and one panther.

For almost 200 years the vaults remained closed to the outside world. Then in 2210 the first vaults opened to the harsh wasteland and humanity took its first steps into the poisoned world.

The residents of Vault 32 left their vault in Southern Texas to form the small community of Texalt. The town has a strong caravan influence and is quickly becoming wealthier. The residents of Texalt seem to have a bright future ahead of them, but things in the Texas wasteland are far from peaceful, because war never changes.
