The Sky Reavers is a raider gang based in the state of Nevada.

Historical background

Based out of Area 51, the Sky Reavers are raiders who utilize technology to make themselves superior to their prey.[1] Utilizing technologies such as aircraft,[2] they raid caravans across Nevada.[3] However, Kronos, their leader, is obsessed with uncovering the secrets housed within Area 51.[4]

Behind the scenes

  • The Sky Reavers were created by one of the founders of the Old World Blues mod, Zapdude.[5]
    • In August 2017, the Sky Reavers were raiders living in a Pre-War refueling station, utilizing skyhooks to traverse power or telegraph lines.[6][7] By October 2017, the faction's theme had changed to that of pilots living in a former Enclave base, specifically Area 51, due to the faction needing to be moved.[8]

    but their pilot motiff and the fact they were supposed to be based in an old enclave base is totally like
