Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Hoover Dam

History

Hoover Dam was built in 1933 named after Herbert Hoover. The Dam collected water from the man-made Lake Mead. It worked until The Great War
After the Fall

Sometime around the time of the fall, the Colorado river and Lake Mead dried up, leaving the dam inoperable and leaving far reaching consequences, from environmental decay to decreasing stability in the Mojave.

While it is unknown as to how the water disappeared, rumors have floated around of an 'eccentric' pre-war research facility that has recently been flooded. While still rumor and myth, if not entirely unknown, to those left in the Mojave, the few people knowledgeable enough may put together rumors of teleportation and heavily advanced technology in the crater-shaped region, leading to some of them moving in on the region to secure the technology for themselves, fighting each other and the 'local' inhabitants in the meanwhile.

Despite it's severe decrease in value, it remains as one of the few NCR strongholds left in the Mojave, a still formidable landmark in the east.
