New California Republic / MRHOUSE

The Republic’s roots can be traced to Vault 15. This pre-War shelter was home to a population composed of people from radically different ethnic and religious backgrounds. Closed in 2077, it opened due to population pressure in spring of 2097, releasing its occupants into the wasteland. While a large portion of the Vault inhabitants that left the overcrowded Vault would band into raider tribes as the winter of 2098 came the remaining vault dwellers would found Shady Sands in the spring of 2122. The town used its G.E.C.K. No one expected that these humble beginning would eventually culminate in the formation of the mighty New California Republic in 2189..
