Union of Atomic Workers

The Union of Atomic Workers was a post-War organization that was wiped out around 2151.

Background
The Union was a technologically-oriented faction somewhat similar to the Brotherhood of Steel, although less friendly towards outsiders. They were also a rather insular organization, desiring to "keep to themselves."

Jake, a weapons merchant in the Hub's Old Town, was once a member of the Union, although his wishes to see the world and be his own boss conflicted with the Union's isolationism, driving him to leave the organization. In retrospect, he regards this as the right decision, since the Union was wiped out by mutants after his departure.

Behind the scenes
"I did Jake, though someone probably rewrote the dialogue, since the tenor is terser than Benniespeak. :-) I figured that for every successful organization that made it in the Wasteland, there'd be ten that failed, and so I came up with some organization for Jake that explained where he got his weapons that wasn't "I used to be in the Brotherhood"... it's a throwaway bit intended to make the world a little messier; it's more believable if everything doesn't tie together neatly."
