Fallout East Coast

[TheIrradiatedWaffle]

War, war never changes.

The Year is 2292, and the world is far from calm. Just as in the old world, chaos rains. Man kills man and somewhat civil blood makes civil hands unclean. There is a darkness and uncertainty that arises as a conflict never seen before looms ever closer.

In the northeast, after the success of the minutemen in dislodging the power base of the Institute, ensuring a Commonwealth outside of the presence of any foreign power, the wasteland has become a very different place. The UCSR, after fighting a war of liberation and defense from Foreign powers, has arrived in the world as a competent and somewhat powerful nation on the outside. This however disregards the many problems of the country and the powerful enemies they have made.

After two defeats at the hands of the many factions of the wasteland, the Brotherhood of Steel has fallen behind a new leader. After Maxson was defeated in single combat, the world eagerly awaits what stances this new leader will take in order to show that despite these hits, the Brotherhood is still a force to be reckoned with.

The the East of Maryland lies the church of America, a nation with the bible in one hand, and a gun in the other knows full well the threat of the wasteland. With their faith and prosperity, there are many people who wish to make it their own.

There are reports streaming west of an enclave resurgence. Licking their wounds from two devastating defeats, they have fallen far from their zenith of power. However, with the unstoppable might of their technology, they are far from helpless.

The Coalition of Traders, more than likely, will be caught in the middle of whatever conflict comes their way, whether they like it or not.

The Church of America

​

Off in the Distance, across a great span of a bridge emerging from a tunnel were many soldiers, marching swiftly south toward the sound of gunfire. For some it would be their first taste of combat but for most it was a fairly normal affair. The groups that inhabited Norfolk mounted attack after attack against the Norfolk FOB that served to protect the bridge while also allowing trade access to the nation. While fears were mounting back on the peninsular that the groups were being more organised in their attacks the base couldn't really maintain its full garrison without certain logistical issues. Despite the large size of the complex and its importance the constant attacks would lead to rations being destroyed or, worse even, stolen and if the rations are reduced and the coast-side of the bridge was destroyed, as sometimes but rarely did happen, then that could result in a large force being underseige with not supplies and lead to even greater issues. To Combat this the main garrison is held on the Delmarva side of the link with a smaller garrison of Papal Guard on South Thimble Island where a large tower is located with a couple of snipers to try and help secure the north side of Norfolk base and stop people sneaking past the base or blowing up some of the unsecured supports.

As the reinforcements rushed to the aid of the defending force the snipers were busy attempting to hold the Northern side as attackers were attempting to get onto the first span of the bridge. The situation inside the base was dire. Most of the traders who were outside of the base, either sleeping for the night before travelling into the Church or perhaps still waiting for their trade permits to be accepted, had managed to flee within the bases walls however they were expected to support the defence rather then simply cower within the walls. The few that were cut off were either killed by the attacking force or managed to flee into the wastes. The more recent part of the defences, which were only built due to the destruction of the original walls that encompassed the rest of the northern block of houses, were being pinned by a constant assault as attackers used ruined buildings and parts of the old wall as cover to attack from. Just as the situation in that area appeared to be going in the defenders favour a loud explosion could be heard. Everyone feared that the bridge had been destroyed but it was part of the western wall, it had been blown open. The Defenders fell back to surroundings buildings, giving up large sections of the wall around the damage so that they could provide a kill zone on the other side of the wall. Seeing some of the Caravan guards that had been tasked with supporting that part of the base fall back into the securer eastern section the base commander, Bishop Malaise, took out his firearm and ordered them back. The individual he targeted openly disobeyed claiming his job was to protect the caravan not the base, the caravan of course being in the secure eastern side of the base, and Malaise responded by shooting the individual in his right shoulder and repeating his command to which most returned to defend the west wall. A few looked to disobey and perhaps even take an aim on the commander soon changed their mind when the commanders guards began to take aim on those hesitating to follow orders and they returned to their post. The Commanders guards then took the now wounded Caravan guard and dropped him into the field hospital before returning to their Commander who was now headed toward the Northern gate as he expected his reinforcements to arrive soon.


Meanwhile back in Delmarva
The Pope was on visit to the newest official section of the Church, the Air Research Division. Until now flight was the reserve of those lucky enough to recover prewar vertibirds and the even luckier elite who recovered other serviceable aircraft but using the data found within the Wallops Flight Facility and research conducted with a small number of their experimental rockets recovered from the same location they felt they could make flight once more a repeatable feat of man. Sure there was a long way to go but with the Blessing of Pope Honorius I they felt sure that success was inevitable. The Visit was accompanied by a large guard as well as a large number of people coming out to see the holiest man in America. He would later finish his visit with a speach stating that God wished man to fly so that one day we could escape this barren rock that the heretics and heathens of the past had wrought upon with destruction to a new eden, one created for those followers of the Church to find for their dedication to the one true god even in such dark and dismal times as these. Stating, "First we will conquer the skies, then beyond. We will leave this rock and its sin behind and one day, far into the future, our descendants will live, each with a wealth rivalling that of a king but not with the sin of greed in a land so rich and bountiful that all will flourish in their first life ready for the second life with god."

21st Battle for Norfolk Base rages on
Pope looks to invest time and money into researching flight.
