The Last Great American Dynasty

---

Many Wastelanders know America took a fatal blow in 2077, its armies and people burning in nuclear fire. But most of them don't know the tale of the men and women who kept the dream alive in the darkness that followed. The Richardsons served America after the Great War, preserving its dream and protecting its citizens, whether or not they knew it. An enclave of the best and brightest, who would keep the torch of freedom until it could burn again. They were close too, you know. The last Richardson had a plan to save the Wasteland, a weapon that would kill the super mutants and feral ghouls who held back recovery. Until it all fell apart.

Nobody knows what happened to the Rig. A Brotherhood of Steel commando raid? Remnants of the Master's army? Perhaps it was the Rangers, cloaking their hatred of America in their sweet lies of liberty. Certainly the NCR had no problem pouring north with tribals, Brotherhood paladins, and others in tow. The Enclave killed many, but we had to leave. With the chain of command in disarray, Santiago took off, and led the flight east.

Let us honour her, and how she worked to save America in the West.

Men to Match These Mountains

---

When the Enclave fled the West Coast after the fall of Navarro, some fought on. Patriots who didn't give up on America journeyed east, by vertibird, truck, or foot. Thundering gun battles echoed across the Great Plains as they carved through the Brotherhood's depotism to reach Chicago. But Santiago, and those who stated? In the name of fighting a 'rearguard action,' they stayed at Navarro. With support from the Secretary of the Interior, they acted as the western flank of the Enclave. Gone was the Presidentl but in its place was a land lightly touched by radiation, home to happy, healthy children. A land where old soldiers never died - they just faded away.

For something odd happened in the region. Over time to survive MacArthur began to trade with the surrounding towns and ranches. As relationships followed trade, soldiers turned into ranchers, medics into doctors. When Missoula asked for help against Heaven's Gate in 2268, she was protecting her retired veterans as much as she was the people of the town.

A Fire Burns Beneath the Ground

---

The world was on the cusp of greatness, they say. Or was it hubris? Poseidon Energy drilled deep beneath the waves for the last of Earth's oil; they harnessed the sun to keep old Vegas ablaze; and in Yellowstone, once a park, they drilled into Earth's marrow for energy.

Marvelous in men's eyes, all night and all day, unto them a fire blazed, tireless and unquenchable. Poseidon's Hesphaestus Project, they say, would have powered twenty million homes for thousands of years. They say it would have solved the Resource Crisis. Or, they say, it would set off a volcano, and another nuclear winter. But they say lots of things, don't they? Yellowstone's rangers refuse to activate the plant, but others wonder . . . "

The First Families

---

Missoula was an odd town, for the Wasteland. The town had good, unpolluted farmland, herds of healthy bison, forests for timber nearby. Nobody went hungry. But in every society some are more equal than others, and Missoula was no exception. The First Families, descended from the scavengers who returned after the War, controlled the best lands; the best forests; and the best mines. Colonel Santiago's detachment only increased the division, for who but the rich could afford the Army Corps of Engineers? Moreover, the increased security Santiago brought turned the region into a magnet for refugees fleeing Heaven's Gate and the Khans. The lucky ones found kobs in sweatshops or farms The unlucky ones? Well, there was a winter every year.

One of Santiago's more considered decision was the use of auxiliaries, trained with local equipment. Some favoured drawing forces from the First Families, but others counseled that the refugees would be reliable to whoever offered a better life.

Team October

---

The Colonel isn't the only Santiago in Macarthur. Her daughter, Ellen, rose through the ranks of the Enclave. Ellen could have requested a soft posting in Raven Rock or Chicago, but she chose to serve with her mother at Macarthur. There she works with the Colonel to protect the people of Montana, a true inspiration for all Americans! There are those who say she's gone native - those who whisper, indeed, that she may be a *mutant*. But if that were true, how could she handle the Enclave's weaponry so effectively? .

Ellen's unit, Team October, guards the Wasteland and handles threats that need a special touch. Diplomacy with the First Families? A raid on a Metal Mouth Outpost? Trade mission to the Bizarre? Well, why not? The Rangers always led the way, and always will.

Attacks on the Caravans

---

The Storm Mongers and Metal Mouths have become more aggressive of late, perhaps inspired by the Montana Chapter. We need to decide who to protect - the Crow Trucking Company, which knits Montana together, or outlying farmsteads? Protecting the caravans will gain First Family support, but this will turn more people into Refugees and cost us support.

They Fight for Freedom!

---

Haven't I promised you that America yet lives? At great effort, the Secretary of the Interior has sent proof that the Enclave lives, Montana! And no, not just MacArthur Army Base. Right now Enclave troops are enroute from Chicago, the gleaming heart of America! These fine men and women have one mission - the restoration of American peace and order.

Just remember. When you see the Enclave, you see the United States government. We are authorized to restore order and civility, by any means necessary. Just stay out of the way and let us do our job. Interfere with the Enclave's mission, and you will be dealt with. Harshly.

Who Are You, That Do Not Know Your History?

---

The Historians, a group of scholars and teachers, have been conquered. Now they come to MacArthur, begging for a new home. There is much to be gained from them letting them in; while we know how to maintain advanced weaponsy and circuitry, some of the simpler arts are not really practiced in Montana. As such, their practial knowledge of farming could be useful to our citizens.

But isn't there a danger? They have a sadly corrupted view of history, a harshly negative view of prewar America. And we unfortunately would lack the strength to correct all of their errors. Colonel, what should we do?

Grounded in Tradition, Resilient in Spirit

---

[MCA.GetLeader] has come with a proposal - in return for economic assistance, our warriors will fight for the US government. The only downside is the risk of the Enclave should they prevail; a likely outcme, if their only true foe are boy scouts in power armour.

The Flame-Eyed Fire

---

At long last, our scientist discovered the secrets of the Hesphaestus Project. But what shall we do with this power?

Chicago would prefer we divert the energy back to them, a vital resource for their war against the Midwest Brotherhood. But Rodriguez would argue the energy serves a valuable role for the region, and could further industrial development. In this scenario, we might still send resources to Chicago - but it would be processed uranium, coal, and other riches pulled from the mountains. And then there is Maria, the Colonel's daughter. Maria proposes we share the power with the people. People power? A novel idea. It might, at least, gain us support among the locals... but it will certainly anger the Secretary of the Interior. Can we truly risk that?

A Little Help From My Friends

---

The Secretary's charming smile looked down at the Colonel, who stood at attention as always. 'Really now, Colonel, always uptight! Please, the Special Agent is, ahh, not intended to be a sign of disrespect. On the contrary! He is the finest soldier in decades, the pinnacle of Enclave science! A, ahh, man that no one would doubt. And we're sending another battalion with him, of course.

'Think of it as a sign of our faith in you, really. With Special Agent Johnson, it will be as if I'm right by your side. Forever.'

In the Army of the Enclave...

---

The resources of the Northern Commonwealth could turn the tide in the Heartland, and give the Enclave a chance to crush the Brotherhood once and for all. But alas, too few Americans are left to satisfy every front nowadays. [MCA.GetLeader]'s demands call for new sacrifices from everyone in [MCA.GetName], and there are three proposals to meet the Secretary's orders.

The easiest solution would be to appeal to Chicago for further assistance, in exchange for accelerating resource extraction in the North. We could also work with the First Families and the rest of the region's elite and rely upon their involvement. Although these would not be as powerful as the United States Army, they could supplement our ranks in additional battalions. Finally, we could recruit the Refugees and Wastelanders, opening the doors to widespread recruitment.

History Has Its Eyes On You

---

To our great surprise, the Historians are causing an issue in the lands we protect.They have a somewhat misguided image of pre-war America, saying it was a land of despotism and concentration camps. And while they do not openly criticize the Enclave, some of their veiled allegories between Camp Turtledove's internment of disloyal Americans and our own prison work forces are becoming more common. Why do harp on democracy and the rule of law, and ignore the stability we provide to Montana?

The Mission

---

As the screen flickered to life, the Colonel wondered, once again, why the Secretary appeared like this. But she said nothing as the Old Man spoke.

So, you ground the Rebels under heel at last, hmm?' he chuckled. 'They say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. So of course those mutants broke under American heroism. Nevertheless, you are to be congratulated, Colonel. Or should I say Brigadier General!'

'But the Brotherhood was there for a reason. I'm sure you can guess why, as our old struggle in the Heartland heats up. We need you, Brigadier. We need the Northern Commonwealth.'

The terminal next to the Brigadier flickered. 'I'm afraid your charges will need to contribute a bit more to the Reconstruction.'

The screen flickered off, with the neon light of Chicago replaced by a single message. 'God Bless the Enclave.'"
