War, war never changes. When atomic fire consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great underground vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish new villages, forming tribes. What had once been the American southwest, united under the banner of the New California Republic, dedicated to old world values such as Democracy and the Rule of Law. As The Republic grew, so did it's needs. Scouts spread east, searching for resources in the expanse of the merciless Mojave wasteland. They returned with tales of a city that remained untouched by the warheads that had scorched the rest of the world, and a great wall spanning the Colorado river. The NCR mobilized it's army and sent it east, to capture Hoover Dam and restore it to working condition. But across the Colorado, a new faction had arisen under a different flag. A vast army of slaves forged from the conquest of 86 tribes, Caesar's Legion. 4 years have passed since the NCR held Hoover Dam, just barely, against The Legion's onslaught. The Legion didn't retreat. Across the Colorado, it gathers strength. Campfires burned. Training drums beat. Through it all, the New Vegas Strip remains open for business, run by it's mysterious overseer, Mr. House and his army of rehabilitated tribals and police robots. You are a Courier, hired by the Mojave Express to deliver a package to the New Vegas Strip. What seemed like a simple delivery job has taken a turn...for the worse.
