Timeline of Important events

MDCXCVII:Andrew Endicott is abducted by aliens from his home in Salem Village on May 17th.
1942:Sierra Army Depot is erected. Its mission is to store and maintain a defensive supply of military ordnance. This mission continued until 1991. This is a real event, before the Fallout universe diverged from ours.
1943:The Los Alamos Nuclear Research and Development facility, codename: the Reservation, completes construction. Los Alamos becomes part of the research team for the Manhattan Project.
1945:The Second World War comes to an end. Shortly after this, the Fallout Universe begins to diverge from ours, at first in minor respects, then major.
1961, May 5: Captain Carl Bell of the United States Space Agency (U.S.S.A.) became the first human in space. This claim is disputed by both the Soviet Union and China. Captain Bell's flight in Space Capsule Defiance 7 lasted twelve minutes and seven seconds, and made a full revolution around the Earth. Bell died when the capsule crashed on its return to Earth.
1969:By this year, the United States is divided into thirteen commonwealths, each of which encompasses several states. The national flag is changed to reflect this and depicts thirteen stars - twelve in a circle and one in the middle.
July 16:The Virgo II Lunar Lander Valiant 11 with U.S.S.A. astronauts Captain Richard Wade, Captain Mark Garris, and Captain Michael Hagen lands on the moon. The astronauts become the first humans to walk on a celestial body other than Earth.
November 14:Virgo III Lander Valiant 12 lands on the Moon.
1992:The mission of Sierra Army Depot is changed. It is now responsible for the demilitarization of stores of surplus ammunition that have been deemed unfit or obsolete for military purposes. This mission is to be overseen by the Industrial Operations Command (I.O.C.) in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.), providing a greener, cleaner way to dispose of military ordnance. This mission continued until 2050.
2002:West Tek is founded
2020:The Delta IX rocket is commissioned by the U.S.S.A. The Delta IX rocket is the last of the manned rockets to the Moon.
2021:Hubris Comics begins publishing comic books, one of their most popular is Grognak the Barbarian.
2034:The Delta IX rocket is converted for U.S. military purposes. Crew and instrument sections are replaced with a nuclear warhead.
2037:The Mr. Handy series of robots is first brought to market as a general construction and maintenance unit by General Atomics International.
2039:Prometheus Coal, a division of Poseidon Energy, opens a coal mine in central Utah. A small village opens up nearby. It is called Eagle Rock.
An early bug in Mr. Handy robots that caused interference in the operation of the multiple arms is fixed with a hardware update, with no major problems since then.
2040:The Tibbets Prison is commandeered by the United States government in association with Vault-Tec and Poseidon Oil to tie into their Project Safehouse. On April 5, 2040, the Secretary of the Army makes the decision to build a new Disciplinary Barracks, with a capacity for 456 inmates. A cost ceiling of $363 million in allocated construction dollars is set. The target budget year for funding this project is fiscal year 2041. Construction begins in the Fall of 2042, with completion projected for the Fall of the year 2045.
2041:Doctor Morrison Rand was abducted by aliens when he was leaving the campus of Banfield College in Humboldt, Oregon some time after 10:00 p.m. on August 16, 2041.
2042:A major earthquake takes place in Mexico City. The Mr. Handy general construction robot becomes the leader in sales in Mexico.
July:discussions with Vault-Tec to determine space and functional requirements for the new Tibbets facility.
September 3: the Combined Arms Center Commander is given a decision brief of the USDB project, and selects one of three design options for further development. He also requests the Corps of Engineers to research an alternate location for the placement of this facility, since the geological evaluation of the site adjacent to the Trustee Unit revealed unsuitable subsurface conditions. Discussions involving the possible movement of the prison and relocation projects are also discussed, leading to the eventual three-rail system.
2044:Nuka-Cola is invented by John Caleb-Bradberton.
The Great Passion Fruit Famine hits America. People actually notice the taste difference in Nuka-Cola when the flavor was changed.
The X277 Viper Magnetic Rail Cannon developed for the U.S. Military by West-Tek is deemed too costly to produce on a mass scale and abandoned.
2050:The mission of Sierra Army Depot is changed again. It is refurbished with the latest in technology and is from now on used as a secret research installation for developing and testing robotic, biological and conventional weapons until 2076.
2051:Seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, the United States begins to exert increasing pressure on Mexico, citing the political instability and pollution stemming from Mexico as a threat to the United States. Various economic sanctions serve to destabilize Mexico, and the United States military enters Mexico to keep the oil refineries running and making sure oil and fuel continue to make their way north across the border at Mexico's expense.
The N99 10mm Pistol becomes standard issue military sidearm following the phase out of the N80.
2052:A television documentary into the withered husk of the Texas oil fields brings the oil shortage into the American households, and reveals how deep the energy crisis runs.
April:The Resource Wars begin. Many smaller nations go bankrupt, and Europe, dependent on oil imports from the Middle East, responds to the Middle East's rising oil prices with military action. The long drawn-out war between the European Commonwealth and the Middle East begins.
May-July:The United Nations, already suffering, begins to collapse. In a series of heated debates, many nations withdraw from the organization as the U.N. tries to keep the peace.
July 27:The United Nations is officially disbanded.
The United States closes its borders to the flood of immigrants.
The last manned mission to the moon occurs.
The widely known Nuka-Cola’s Dazzling Blue bottle color was adopted as standard after market research programs indicated that the blue color was the favorite in 86 people out of a hundred polled.
2053:The socially transmitted "New Plague" arises, killing tens of thousands. The United States closes its borders and the first-ever national quarantine is declared. The source of the plague is unknown, but rumors persist that it is a genetically engineered weapon.
ZAX 1.0 goes on-line, developed by Vault-Tec. Initially a prototype of some of the systems designed to govern the vaults, it is given to the government to help the Department of Energy collect resource data. Within a year, it is taken by the military for plague and tactical research; one version, ZAX 1.2 is constructed for West Tek.
December: Like an exclamation mark on the end of a very bad year, a terrorist nuclear weapon destroys Tel Aviv.
2054:January: Limited nuclear exchange in the Middle East raises fears throughout the world.
In light of the Euro-Middle Eastern conflict and the plague scare, the United States officially sets Project Safehouse in motion. The project, financed by junk bonds, is designed to create shelters, called Vaults, for the populace in the event of a nuclear war or deadly plague. Construction begins late in 2054 and proceeds rapidly due to advances in construction technology.
2055:The West Tek Research Facility starts working on a new virus to kill the New Plague. Their viral research and close ties to the federal government eventually lead to them being chosen for the Pan-Immunity Virion Project twenty years later as well as Power Infantry Armor and laser research
ZAX 1.2 is brought in to regulate conditions in West Tek. It is not part of the Vault-Tec preservation software, so it does not have any orders to protect humanity after the bombs fall. In the meantime, it calmly calculates data and plays chess with the scientists. Many scientists claim that ZAX is a "big ol' cheater" and draws the game out too much for a computer of his considerable abilities.
2057, February: United States government removes Grand Canyon's protected status as a national park.
May: Uranium mining begins in Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon closed indefinitely.
2059:The Anchorage Front Line is established, as the United States increases its military presence in Alaska to protect its oil interests. The Anchorage Front Line causes tensions in the United States and Canada, as the United States attempts to pressure Canada into allowing American military units to guard the Alaskan pipeline.
The first artificial intelligence is born. Limited by memory constraints, its expansion is rapidly halted. The discovery paves the way for future A.I. research in laboratories throughout the United States.
2060:Traffic on the streets of the world stops moving. Fuel becomes too precious to waste on automobiles, so alternatives are explored - electric and fusion cars begin to be manufactured, but factories can only make limited amounts while conserving fuel. The U.S. economy teeters on bankruptcy. Pressure on fusion research increases.
The Euro-Middle Eastern War ends as the oil fields in the Middle East run dry. There is no longer a goal in the conflict, and both sides are reduced almost to ruin.
The European Commonwealth dissolves into quarreling nation states, fighting over the remaining resources
2061, March: Construction of Vault 108 begins.
2062, May: Construction of Vault 92 begins.
Despite quarantine measures, the New Plague continues to spread, fueling national paranoia.
Many Mormon congregations come together to purchase places in Vault 70, located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
U.F.O. codenamed "Paladine" crashed just north of Hagerstown, Maryland. Could not be recovered.
2063, August: The construction of most Vaults completed, except for Vault 13, whose construction finally gets off the ground...heralding a development cycle that seems plagued with problems. Drills begin in the other cities with completed Vaults, but the increasing frequency of the drills has a "cry wolf" effect, and the turnouts for drills trickle off as the years go on.
Dr. Willem Clark, a top nuclear physicist in his day, is put in charge of all scientific endeavors at the Reservation. Colonel Green, a career soldier in the U.S. army, is put in charge of security.
2064, March: Construction of Vault 106 begins.
2065, February: Construction of Vault 76 begins.
April 14: M.A.R.G.O.T. enters service.
June:Due to enormous demands for electricity from a 17+ million population, a nuclear reactor in New York City goes supercritical during the summer of this year, almost causing a meltdown. The near meltdown brings into effect power rationing, and the term "Hot Summer" is used to refer to the New York incident.
August:Increasing need for mobility in the United States mechanized cavalry leads the military to focus the efforts on creating a man-based tank - essentially, a two-legged walking armored unit: Power Armor.
2065-2067: Power Armor research grows and several prototypes are developed, many of which prove to be unworkable in the field. These prototypes pave the way for future advances in military, construction, and fusion technology.
The Reservation is given orders to research and produce nuclear missiles that can be fired from an orbiting space platform.
2066, May: Construction of Vault 87 begins.
Spring:As the oil resources dry up across the globe, China's fossil fuel dependency causes an energy crisis in the nation. China, bordering on collapse, becomes more aggressive in its trade talks with the United States. Unwilling to export oil to China, talks between the United States and China break down.
Summer:Adding further insult to the Sino-American relations, the first crude fusion cell is unveiled, one of the results of the Power Armor project. Devices designed for the fusion cell begin to be manufactured. Incorporating fusion power into the general U.S. infrastructure begins, but the process is too slow to supply power to the regions that need it. Nearly eleven years later, few sections of the United States were supplied with fusion power.
Winter:In the winter of 2066, China invades Alaska. The Anchorage Front Line becomes a true battleground.
Winter:As a sign of increasing tension between the two countries, Canada proves reluctant to allow American troops on Canadian soil or allow American planes to fly over Canadian airspace. American and Canadian tensions rise, but Canada eventually backs down, and U.S. troops pass through Canada. This sets the stage for the Canadian annexation in 2076
The U.S. Navy Missile Cruiser U.S.S. Ebon Atoll is accidentally sunk by the U.S. Navy Submarine U.S.S. Interference during the Anchorage Campaign. The Interference mistook the Ebon Atoll for an enemy vessel and shot it with a nuclear torpedo killing all on board. It is one of the worst U.S. Navy disasters since World War II.
Resource rationing in Denver causes riots. Midwest U.S.A. and Mexico start having food shortages and can't supply Denver with the food it needs. Food riots occur. National Guard called in.
With more important things to spend their money on, Poseidon Energy closes the inefficient and dangerous Eagle Rock mine complex and sells it to the U.S. government.
2067:The first suit of T-45d Power Armor is deployed in Alaska. While lacking the full mobility of future versions, this Power Armor is incredibly effective against Chinese tanks and infantry. Its ability to carry heavy ordnance becomes key in various localized conflicts, and it has the power to destroy entire towns without endangering the wearer. China rushes to create its own versions, but they are many years behind the United States.
Senator Todd Peterson decides to build a secret bunker to house himself and his family should war break out. Senator Peterson is a wealthy man in his own right, but lacks the funds necessary for such a project. Through secret dealings with Poseidon Oil and a covert branch of the government known as the Enclave, the final funding for the project is attained. A construction site is chosen in southern Colorado and work begins.
By this year, a Nuka-Cola machine can be found on almost every street in America.
2068, May: Construction of Vault 92 ends.
November: Construction of Vault 112 begins.
2069:Canada begins to feel the pressure from the United States military as the U.S. draws upon Canadian resources for the war effort. Vast stretches of timberland are destroyed, and other resources in Canada are stretched to the breaking point. Many Americans refer to Canada as Little America, and Canadian protests are unheard.
March:Vault 13 is finally completed - it is the last of the Vaults on the West Coast, and drills begin. Due to its late completion, the "cry wolf" effect that hurt the other Vaults is not as pronounced.
October:Construction of Vault 76 ends.
December:Construction of Vault 106 and Vault 108 ends. Vault 108 was in construction for 8 years due to work stoppage.
2070:The first of the Chryslus Motors fusion-driven cars are developed. Reassuringly big and American, the limited models carry a hefty price tag but are sold out within days. Many Chryslus plants have long since been converted into making military ordnance.
2071, December: Construction of Vault 87 ends.
2072:The United States' increasing demand for Canadian resources causes protests and riots in several Canadian cities. An attempted sabotage of the Alaskan pipeline is all the military needs as an excuse to finalise its annexation of Canada, which had already begun in 2067.
June 3: Canada fully annexed by U.S.A.
Completed B.O.M.B. missiles are sent to different space centers around the U.S. so they can be carried into space and installed into the B.O.M.B. satellites. The process is slow, but it is being carried out fairly regularly.
2073, August: The Ballistic Orbital Missile Base, or B.O.M.B.-001, is completed and partially functional (for security and maintenance bots) using a temporary onboard generator. The only thing the base needs are the manually inputted final launch instructions and codes, and the main power reactor.
September 15:As China becomes increasingly aggressive with their use of biological weapons, the United States government felt that a countermeasure was needed. The Pan-Immunity Virion Project (PVP) is officially formed and plans are made to begin experiments at the WestTek research facility in Southern California.
2074:Negotiations between the U.S. and other world powers come to a dramatic end, with the President walking out of oil talks with the other world powers. After a much heated debate, the President stormed out of the meeting and declared that the last known supply of petroleum will be used exclusively by the U.S. and the U.S. will not sell or trade any oil to outside parties.
Contrary to their claims of seeking only to retake Alaska from the Reds, American Power Armor units, infantry, and mechanized divisions are deployed to China, but they become bogged down on the mainland, putting a further drain on American resources and supply lines.
Government decision makers order the dumping of radioactive waste into Eagle Rock's lower mines. Enclave politics help secure a contract for Poseidon Energy to develop and use their AGRICOLA mining robots in the operation of the dumping ground. Not surprisingly, the AGRICOLA lab turns out to be a pretty good bunker as well.
June:Construction of Vault 112 ends.
July:The new Bloomfield Space Center completes construction. The facility’s first task is to complete the space rocket Hermes-13 to fly to B.O.M.B.-001 (originally slated for a Mars mission before new orders arrived). The mission: have the crew deliver and install the base’s main power reactor, manually enter final launch instructions, manual check for safety nets and protocols, and do a manual inspection of the station.
2075:The Sierra Army Depot A.I. (M.A.R.G.O.T.) becomes self-aware.
RobCo Industries copyrights the Unified Operating System. This system is used for operating the Robco terminals. The copyright is renewed for each of the next two years.
March 21:PVP experiments continue at West Tek with batch 10-011, in the wake of successful tests of the virus on single-celled organisms. Experiments on plant cells are postponed. The pan-immunity virion is renamed FEV - the Forced Evolutionary Virus.
May 9: FEV experiments continue at West Tek with batch 10-011, in the wake of successful tests on flatworms, the flatworms exhibit increase size and heightened resistance to viral contagions. Experiments with insects have less success, and further experimentation on insects is postponed by Major Barnett.
June 30: FEV experiments continue at West Tek with batch 10-011, with white mice as subjects. Increased size, muscle density, and intelligence are noted.
November 9: FEV experimentation (batch 10-011) on rabbits is concluded. Increased size, intelligence, and (this time) aggressiveness is noted. Apparently, it was hard to determine whether the flatworms in the previous experiments were angrier and more violent than normal. Frankly, the researchers cannot be blamed for this[33].
2076January 3: A military team under the command of Colonel Spindel is sent to the West Tek research facility to monitor the experiments in the interest of national security. Captain Roger Maxson
January 12: Splicing in several new gene sequences into their test virus, dogs are injected with batch 11-101a at West Tek. Although increased strength was noted, increased intelligence was not. Using batch 11-011, experiments are conducted on raccoons. Same results are noted, but the attempted escape of several infected raccoons causes Major Barnett to terminate the escape...and the test subjects. Two pairs of raccoons, however, are unaccounted for.

Note: Scott Campbell and Brian Freyermuth intended these escaped raccoons to form an intelligent animal community NW of the Glow called the "Burrows". This location was never implemented.
January: The United States annexation of Canada is complete. Canadian protesters and rioters are shot on sight, and the Alaskan Pipeline swarms with American military units. Pictures of atrocities make their way to the United States, causing further unrest and protests[24].
April 15: Once all secondary tests and studies are done on the test subjects, all dogs from the batch 11-101a FEV tests at West Tek are terminated...from a safe distance.
June: Power Armor prototype completed, resulting in the T-51b Power Armor. This is the pinnacle of Power Armor technology before the Great War. Many of these units are sent to China, and they begin to carve a swath through the Chinese forces. The Chinese resources are strained to the breaking point, and the supply lines from the nations China has annexed begin to break down.
July: Flotation Homes and Seaweed book is published by Vault-Tec.
August: Food and energy riots begin in major cities throughout the United States. Military units begin to be deployed in cities within the United States to contain rioters, and many temporary jails are constructed. A state of emergency is declared, and martial law soon follows.
August: Hermes-13 & 14 space rockets are completed and await final funding and the orders to launch.
October: Production of B.O.M.B. nuclear missiles is put on hold due to budget cuts. The reservation is put on reserve.
October: Due to the seriousness of world events and the threat of nuclear war, Hermes rockets' launch is postponed while funds are routed to vault technology. Launch is rescheduled for 2077.
October 4: At West Tek, fifteen chimpanzees are infected with batch 11-111. The most successful test to date, growth and immunities in the chimpanzees surpass all other subjects to date. The military practically drools over the results. Plans are made in secret to begin testing in small quarantine towns in North America, and the Mariposa Military Base construction is sped up in anticipation of moving the West Tek project to a location under military supervision.
November: Enclave personnel seize control of Bloomfield Space Center and begin researching and developing a way to convert Hermes-13 into a personnel transport to transport important individuals off-planet.
2077:New Plague hits Denver. Rioters burned down large parts of the city in their fear of contamination and anger at their treatment. Many panicked and fled the city by car, clogging the freeways when they ran out of gas and trapping everyone behind them.
Gas prices sky rocket with the regular gas price being $1450.99 per gallon and $8500.99 per gallon for premium.

Ashur: The Planet

The people

The planet of Ashur has many species and cultures. The planet has rapidly progressed into a technilogically advanced age of various kinds of electronic devices.

Annual Statistics
Population: 1.004 Billion
Years most popular consumer item:Dorian Hand-Held Interactive Radio
Years most popular movie:March of the Pharaoh
Years most popular video game:Gilgamesh & Enkidu's Adventures in Canaan (FPS)

Industry
Ashur fourishes off of her massive industry. The largest industries are Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology industries. Large ports handle most trade between the provinces while the interstellar colonies have space ports which handle the intergalactic trade. Huge imports and exports corporations handle the various loads of merchandise shipped across Dorian Space and her colonies as well as her allies. Large corporation has rapidly been formed into the main driving force that keeps Ashur Dorian space thriving.

City and Infrastructure
The Indomitable Empire of Gaul has many huge cities and an extremely stable and large infrastructure. Buildings have now gone into the future as giant metropolises form. The largest city on the planet of Ashur is Constantinople.

At night the city is bustling with lights and motion. Many Dorian Cities are like this and most people enjoy life in them. Cities each have one governer who leads the city. Each city is well protected with new and old orbital defense systems similer to those defending Luna. Crime is totally unknown so the police forces are seldom called. The Empire's many cities display how far the planet has come from its uncertain past.

Built in the mined-out husk of a metallic asteroid, Purgatory has been a haven for criminals, terrorists, and malcontents for hundreds of years. At times the station has lain idle and abandoned for years, only to be reactivated by a new group of outlaws seeking a fresh start. The space station's original elegant design has given way to haphazard expansion by scrabbling factions of every kind of species. There is little to none Dorian military presence on the station, although the huge nightclub, Fortune's Den is the self-proclaimed "government" of Purgatory.

Population: 7.8 million
Orbital Distance: 2.43 AU
Orbital Period: 6.9 Kushite Years
Total Length: 44.7 Km

Purgatory is described as the dark and twisted counterpart to the Magna Omegan station, Delta Capita. It is a huge mining station built from the remains of a massive, irregularly shaped asteroid with twisting streets populated with homes, shops and warehouses. Purgatory's inhabitants are usually lawless. Territory is controlled by the strongest faction in that area and frequently changes hands, often after brutal violence. The current ruler of Purgatory appears to be a human named Vendetta. As of 2034 the Purgatory Station had a population of 1,320,933 people, composed of various different species. The station's major export is heavy metals.

The heavy-metal-rich core of the original asteroid was mined until the asteroid was almost completely hollow, providing the initial resources used to construct Purgatory's buildings and facilities. Over the years, these have been expanded until they completely cover every exposed inch of its surface, making Purgatory a bizarre mishmash of architecture and technology.

Law Enforcement

Law Enforcement in The Empire has made criminal activity plummet to near non-existance thanks to an all persuasive police force. Most people would call the Law Enforcement Units cruel due to legislation changes from the past, but their actions keep crime rates from spiking.

Government and Political Structure

The Indomitable Empire of Gaul is the ruling power of Ashur, Wonderland, and Cinder, its colonies, and territory. It is an Aristocratic government. Many of its symbols such as the eagles on uniforms are actually based off those used in Roman culture, although the uniforms in the Pharaoh's Military are styled after those of the Roman Legions. The Dorian armies are placed under complete command of the General-In-Charge during periods of war.

The Indomitable Empire was founded after a time known as "The Disorders", which consists of several wars that devastated the planet of Ashur. A group of veterans took control of Thebes, inspiring people in other communities to do the same. From this, the Empire was founded and has maintained stability after two hundred years.

The Empire is ruled by the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh's palace is located in Constantinople. The military consists of the Mobile Infantry (ground forces) and Fleet (space naval forces) and the K-9 Neo-Dogs (Infantry Support) and the Akira Militia (Planetary Defense Force).

The social structure is divided between citizens (people who served) and civilians (people who did not serve). According to Dorian text,

a citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the bodied politic. Civilians are not discriminated against and have more or less equal rights, with the exceptions being the right to vote and government paying tuition fees.

Citizens have more ease with licences such as a licence to have children. Sexism and racism are nonexistent in the Empire. This is evident as females play positions on fieldball teams, and a black woman became Pharaoh, the highest rank of the Dorian Social Structure.

Cinder (Gamma Quadrent)

The Planet Cider is one of the most diverse and odd planets in the Pharaoh's Cluster (Ashur, Wonderland, Cinder). Humanity has almost no place in the strict caste systems of the Cinder denizens, Lupine. The Lupine come in many different species, varying from Lupine Jackels to Lupine Invictus.

Humanity has one sect or caste originating and living on Cinder, the NCE or the North Cinder Empire, the seclude themselves from the hostile forests the Lupine call home. Every once and a while the NCE goes on 'expeditions' into the forests in an attempt to exterminate the Lupine from all of Cinder, the Lupine, backed by Wonderland soldiers manage to beat the small sect back every year.

Cinder itself as a planet is rich in mineral resources that the NCE have been fighting for since their arrival on Cinder, although the planet is covered in rich dense rainforests, the trees themselves are impossible to root from the ground because of their fast acceleration, due to this mutation the forests of Cinder have remained untouched for over five centuries.
