From Jacksonia
To the Wasteland
CC the Sunshine Kingdom

Tiffany Jackson emphatically condemns the opening of an Enclave embassy in Nasacity. The Enclave assassinated my brother, our nation's former Overseer, in cold blood, and massacred over two-thousand innocents with their deployment of an orbital strike on the Fruitland. They are criminals of the highest order, who will strike out at anyone who opposes them no matter how trivial the opposition - any Enclave embassy is a fifth column, preparing for Enclave integration of your people. Do not trust the Enclave.

We urge the Sunshine Kingdom to close its embassy with the Enclave, for the good of humanity.

To: Jacksonia, The Sunshine Wasteland, The Enclave
From: The Sunshine Kingdom

We in the Sunshine Kingdom, and in the Imperium as a whole, wish nothing but the brightest future for the Sunshine Wasteland, and all who live in it. That, now, whether we like it or not, includes the Enclave. They are a major actor in the politics of these areas, and Allowing them an embassy, as we have allowed Jacksonia, who also was once viewed with fear and revulsion for it's actions in the wasteland, will help to maintain peace between all our people.

We of course call upon the Enclave to apologize for it's destructive acts, just as we call upon Jacksonia to apologize for it's past actions, but also understand that the past is the past and that to progress, sometimes, one has to look the other way.

Update 41: January – June, 2260
The Usual Suspects

Inter-Faction Reports

FREE TOWNS ORGANIZE AGAINST GEORGIA RECLAMATION DISTRICT. The unchecked expansion of the Georgia Reclamation District seems to have been brought to an end. A worsening diplomatic situation between the independent town of Lula and the GRD has resulted in an informal embargo of Lula by GRD caravans. Lula’s outrage was substantial and they managed to convince nearby town leaderships to join them in the creation of an organization bent on containing or preventing hostile GRD and Enclave expansion. Four towns have grouped together as the Alliance of Free Georgia, and they have been reportedly building up their defenses and looking to hire any possible mercenaries for defense of the region should a full scale war break out. Tensions are at all-time high between the two factions, and local caravan owners are concerned about conflict disrupting commerce in the region.

GRAND OPENING OF SUNSHINE EMPRESS HOTEL. The Sunshine Empress Hotel has launched a grand opening in Universe City, and is said to be the epitome of prewar luxury living. Long-term and short-term stays are allowed, but the majority of wastelanders cannot afford the high price of two hundred caps a night. Amenities apparently include robotic servants for every room, running water, a luxury pool, cushioned couches, and even glass windows overlooking the heart of Universe City or the ruins of Orlando. These among others lead many to state that the cost is well worth the luxury that one can partake in. A major fireworks display and motorcycle race was held for the numerous dignitaries in attendance at the grand opening, and it was a truly gala event for all present. For the common folks of the wasteland, a lottery has been announced, wherein people can buy tickets in the hopes of winning all sorts of rich rewards, including stays in the Sunshine Empress.

Spoiler :

Empire of America
The Wasteland is a dangerous place and very few know that better than the raiders who have formed the bulk of the Empire of America’s forces. Early in the year, the Empire faced a new attack, this time upon the city of Napoleontown. The theoretical breadbasket of the Empire was attacked by the tribe known as the Cowninos. The walls were quickly overrun and most of the population fled in the wake of the assault. Hundreds were killed in the battle as the Cowninos occupied the mostly intact community and established it as their new homeland. What followed this tragic defeat proved to be the undoing of the young Empire. Fighting broke out in the Felix City bunker, as raider and loyalist struggled for the control after the Emperor vanished. A slave rebellion apparently broke out and the bunker was destroyed when someone pushed the self-destruct button. The entire bunker, and everyone in it, was wiped out as only a few dozen escaped the carnage. The remaining towns were quickly taken over by the raider populations who’s brutality and ruthlessness led them to triumph in the struggles that took place. Raider tribes have been reformed as the Empire collapsed as violently as it emerged, and it seems as the whole of northern Alabama is soon to be soaked in blood. Because war, war never changes.

Florida Reclamation District

Spoiler :

Georgia Reclamation District

Spoiler :

The Georgia Reclamation District has had a rough first half of the year. It seemed that nearly every endeavor has resulted in failure or catastrophe and the District has been faced with a number of new challenges. At least on the home front things have been relatively quiet, and new construction has continued to be developed in the towns of Ranger and Fairmont. New farming equipment and fortifications have done their part to help make those towns safer and more prosperous places under the District. The Governor hoped to expand on this prosperity by once more bringing in more towns under the District’s authority.

A force of emissaries, accompanied by a minor Enclave force, were sent to the towns of Statham, the Arcade, and Bogarty. For the first time, it seemed as though none of the towns were impressed by the display put before them. Even the town of Bogarty, which had invited the GRD in was almost hostile to the presence of the emissaries. The reasoning behind this became clear when Lula announced over the radio the formation of the Alliance of Free Georgia. These four towns have united to create a strong faction to defend itself against continued GRD expansion. Press at home has reported on this, and it seems likely to many that a new antagonist for the GRD has emerged.

A major force was mustered out of Dobbins Air Reserve Base to begin salvage and clearing operations in the expansive ruins of Atlanta. Provided with artillery fire support from the base itself, the expedition moved in with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the ruins proved to be not conducive for accurate artillery fire, and a number of casualties were had among the expedition simply from friendly fire. Tens of thousands of ghouls exist in the ruins of the city and more than once the expedition was nearly overwhelmed. They were forced to abandon the project after making it only around two blocks into the city, collecting salvage from the outskirts.

The true threat to the GRD seems to be emerging from the northwest. An expedition was sent to the town of Calhoun to investigate the area and return with any scrap. They did not expect a large amount of trouble as similar expeditions have succeeded in previous years. When they entered the town they found the signs of a large bandit camp being present not long before, and radioed it in immediately. This proved to be just what the enemy was waiting for. Thousands of attackers poured in from all sides, surrounding the town and the expedition was forced to hold up in the center, waiting for relief. Eventually the Enclave did arrive in force, and their bombing and powered armored soldiers were not enough to turn the tide. A number of Enclave troopers were killed and they had to evacuate everyone from the ruins with what weapons they could retrieve. Most of the expedition was killed, and only one other survivor returned from the disaster. She reported that she was freed to tell the world of the Steelmen, the true rulers of the Pitt seeking to claim the Sunshine Wasteland and beyond as their own. They claimed that the Pittmen were only a diversion while they built their power and now they are fully prepared for the best that the Georgia Reclamation District and Enclave can throw at them. The news has spurred panic in the GRD, as many anticipate further attacks.

Spoiler :

Governor’s Challenge: The recent diplomatic proposal from the Steelmen has left our council torn in debate (see below). On one hand, if we accept their offer, we would probably be freed from the heavy fighting that refusal would entail. Emissaries from Ranger and Fairmont are highly in favor of accepting the proposal and claim that refusal puts them all at great risk. On the other side, councilors state that paying the Steelmen tribute and allowing them to maraud lands to the south would spur hatred for us from southern factions. How do we respond to their proposal?

Jacksonia

Spoiler :

Jacksonia has continued to grow and develop. A significant amount of merchant activity took place as large sums of materials were dumped onto the open market, bringing prices low and a major profit to the government. There was some concern about this move, but people were confident that continued supply from the trading with the mysterious merchant would help allow production to continue without disruption. That is why it became a major point of question when the mysterious merchant failed to arrive as the months dragged on. He never arrived to pick up surplus food or sell scrap parts to the Fruitlands, and there has been ample distress over the end of this trade among the merchant community. In other news, a luxury car has been developed for the Trans-Jacksonian Railroad, allowing actual travel in comfort rather than just the hastily outfitted boxcars used previously. Prices are high on these cars, but travelers confess it is well worth the price. An expedition was sent out to Egmont Key, guarding the point of approach by sea to the Tampa Bay, and they found a small and aggressive group of people living there. A small battle took place before the island was cleared of supplies and equipment. Scouts report that most of the prewar fortifications are surprisingly intact on the island. They believe that the forts there may have been abandoned before the Great War took place.

Overseer’s Challenge: A representative of “an honest businessman” has arrived in Fort Strength offering a proposal. He would like to open a “special entertainment district” in Fort Freedom. The district would not be designed to appeal to foreign tourists but for local use. He requests that he be allowed to section off a part of town which would be free of various regulations and government questioning or patrol. In exchange, he would provide an upfront “negotiation fee” of 40k Caps and a 25% cut of revenues from the new district. How do we respond to this proposal?

Mississippi Democratic Republic
Revolution is said to have gained its name because the result is always circular. The ghoul haven of the Mississippi Democratic Republic fell into chaos at the disappearance of the ruler, and the formation of a death cult. The cult, small in size, but large in ambition, believed that death was what was deserved for all of humanity so that others may inherit the earth. They launched a campaign which decimated the stores and supplies of the MDR, and led to explosions across the town. The entire compound was lost to the chaos and destruction, leading to hundreds of deaths immediately in the flame and more in the aftermath. A number of once sane ghouls were driven feral in the after math and nothing remains of the Republic beyond the ruins of a once-promising society.

New Gulf Commonwealth

Spoiler :

The New Gulf Commonwealth has expanded despite temporary setbacks. The food and water shortage continues, but purchased goods have helped make up the shortfall still, allowing the Commonwealth to continue its growth. A raider attack caused extensive damage to the fortifications at Newberry, and they used explosives to devastating effect. The militia managed to rally and push out the raiders with a surprisingly low casualty rate, but a number of independent caravans and immigrants suffered higher losses than the town itself. Expansion came quick with the establishment of new Commonwealth towns in the north, pushing the frontier of the wasteland further north. The first was established as a salvage post in the ruins of Gainesville’s educational center. A second was created on the coast near the old lighthouse of Cedar Key. Walls were put up around the few buildings that remained in the area and the rest of the people who have moved in have established homes of their own. Sadly, the area is reported to be worthless for farming, but the Commonwealth states that Cedar Key will likely act as an invaluable port for exploration and expeditions sent out into the Gulf of Mexico.

Governor’s Challenge: Scandal threatens the governor! An emissary from an “honest businessman” has presented photographs and holotape showing the governor involved in an orgy with a multitude of suspiciously young women and men. If these were made public, it could create a backlash leading to regime change. The businessman has requested the legalization of all chems and the creation of a special economic district in Leesburg in exchange for maintaining the privacy of the information in his possession. He has offered a relatively measly 5k Caps to compensate for any troubles this may cause during the construction. How do we respond to this “proposal”?

Transmississippian Confederation

Spoiler :

The Transmississippian Confederation has launched the construction of a new educational facility for learning and research. The new institute in Wolfs Lair is hoped to be the foundation of a new era for the Confederation. Expansion has continued on other fronts as the Confederation sought to woo its neighbors and bring them into the fold. Most of the other communities in the area have resisted these attempts but Canton weighed the options and decided to join the Confederation. A large part of this has been said to be the arrival of the Westerlings in the north, a very large and heavily armed group of tribals. As no one is sure of their intentions, the leadership of Canton viewed it necessary to join the Confederation for its own protection.

The largest military operation of the Confederation was a scouting and salvage expedition sent to the south from Headwards. The expedition was mostly a success, revisiting a number of areas in addition to finding new ones. The town of Utica was the first destination and quickly scrapped for everything of value. Scouts did note that the area seemed remarkably flush with vegetation and could be a good farming land. In Terry they found an existing community that seems to be just barely struggling along. Raymonds hive of giant ants has acted in opposition to the expedition, leading to a small number of deaths and injuries. In the town of Bolton, salvaging interrupted a large group of bears, and shooting them only made them angrier. A few dozen died to the rampaging bears before they finally slowed down and abandoned their vengeful attacks.

Pack Leaders Challenge: Our investigations in Chairkey Den have led us to believe that people are being removed from the community by a number of other of the tribes residents.

The Watchful Ones have two suggestions. We could either drop the case completely and preserve the loyalty of the Chairkey people or continue the investigation and risk alienating them. How do we proceed?

Universal Reclamation Project

Spoiler :

Vault 79
Vault 79 is an unique experiment in the annals of Vault-Tec. Rather than construct a full sized vault, elaborate caverns were dug out under the earth and sophisticated canals were built to connect them all. People were able to sail their yachts and private vessels straight into the vault from a door built on the Mississippi River when war broke out. Sections of the vault itself were connected by canals and elaborate ferry systems, rather than standard vault hallways. Some were concerned that the structure would be durable enough to withstand nuclear impact, but it did and the dwellers have survived ever since. The canal system below has been referred to as the sunless sea and the vault dwellers have become very experienced at handling their craft in confined conditions. Now, they feel a bit more prepared to take on the world outside of the vault doors.

Workers Republic of the Reclamation

Spoiler :

The Workers Republic of the Reclamation has continued construction in various regions, hoping to bring civilization back the wasteland. New fortifications were constructed in Sipa, helping to defend the young town against the hazards of Augusta. Many of these hazards were stirred up as a large expedition was sent into Fort Gordon to clear out the highly hostile base defenses active in the region. The operation was a success, but many decried the loss of life for relatively little return. Other salvage undertakings proved more successful in Savannah and Augusta, returning plenty of scrap and construction materials to the good of the Reclamation. With the construction of a new water station in Viracocha, people are beginning to feel even more optimistic about the growth of the Republic. Some are concerned about the growing presence of the Georgia Reclamation District to the west and the formation of the Alliance of Free Georgia. They fear that a conflict between the two factions could quickly spill over into the Republic.

Our scientists are completely stumped, and said if we want to pursue further research, it will likely detract from other avenues of progression. Still others believe the obelisk to be evil and recommend we destroy it with utmost haste. How do we respond?

@theDright: Just to make things clear: because of the unique structure of your vault, there is a series of interlocking underground canals that will take you out to the Mississippi River, where an additional vault door exists. Therefore the boats can go out on the river for future explorations.

@Polyblank: Partial purchases of supplies is not permitted. All purchases must be in the units as listed above. I.e. You can only sell or buy 100 Food at a time. This is for my own sanity.

@Dunebear: based on my estimates, Athens would be just barely out of range for the howitzer in Oakwood. You may have to come up with a new strategy or move the howitzer closer. To answer your question, I am assuming the range on a howitzer is around 15 miles.

Yeah, the Traveler is definitely getting his own thread shortly after the posting of this update. Too much work going back for orders and so forth. Also noticed a bunch of diplomacy I missed previously to doing the update. Sorry about that.

@Quisani: You made some miscalculations when it came to your spending and purchases. All has been corrected in the update to accomplish everything you wanted to accomplish. It was rather close though.
