Cassandra Moore

Colonel Cassandra Moore is the commanding officer of the NCR Army forces stationed at Hoover Dam in 2281.

Background
A career soldier who joined the NCR Army at the age of sixteen, Cassandra is a veritable legend among NCR troopers. She received an officer's commission at age seventeen, and has been moving up the ranks ever since. She took part in operations against the Vipers and the Jackals, as well as surviving four tours of duty against the Brotherhood of Steel in California, and is widely considered to be one of the most skilled and accomplished commissioned officers in the NCR Army. She is a noted conservative in military matters, favoring strength and determination over cunning and diplomacy. Chief Hanlon says that she is "better at making graves than making friends," consistently choosing extremely direct solutions to problems- solutions that are in no way pleasant for those on the receiving end. Moore is a soldier through and through; her assessments of anything and anyone are swift yet highly detailed, she places a premium on time and getting things done, and is bluntly honest in anything she says or does.

Colonel Moore's competency is easily gleamed when the Courier interacts with her. She has acute knowledge of her enemy - Caesar's Legion, and is concise and blunt in making tactical considerations. She is realistic about her assessment of Caesar's Legion, noting that basic Legionnaires have fitness and conditioning that surpass even the rangers, and unmatched discipline that makes them dangerous despite their reliance on crude melee weaponry. As a result, she has her forces constantly running drills against larger, stronger opponents.

When asked about her military history, Moore revels that she was once a Ranger, a period she looks back on as the best time of her entire military career. Unfortunately, an injury she sustained meant she could no longer perform her duties adequately, so she was promoted to the rank of Colonel, a job which was less physically demanding. Brusque and blunt though she normally is, Moore will admit she misses her days leading troops in the field as a Ranger, and that she has never liked having to command from a desk. Moore is not completely bitter, however; she recognizes that holding high rank means getting the chance to have a much wider-reaching influence over events than is ever possible as a junior officer. To Moore, that means a larger number of people are now doing things her way, something that suits her well.

A war hawk, Moore displays unfailing support for General Lee Oliver and President Kimball's push to seize the Mojave - a support which has seen her gain great influence - and is not above violent means to ensure NCR's dominance of the region; whether it be dealing militantly with the Great Khans and the Kings or completely destroying the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood. She speaks critically of Ambassador Crocker and his more diplomatic approach to NCR's expansion into Vegas and will vow to push back against him if the Courier chooses to support his approach to the Kings and Freeside above hers. Ultimately, Moore is well aware of her own greatest virtue as a soldier: she gets results, and her superiors care about that more than anything else.

Bugs

 * During How Little We Know, there is a bug where, after completing it, the game will not allow the player to talk to Colonel Moore. Possible cause: This happens when the courier hasn't spoken with Liza O'Malley at the beginning of the Omertas part of the For the Republic, Part 2 quest or if the player has already gotten You'll Know It When It Happens from Yes Man.
 * One could use console command that allow you to lie about Omertas and continue the chain.
 * Kill Cachino and lie to the NCR about their plans. The player will still get NCR fame and no evil Karma. This is the only way to fix the glitch and continue with the NCR.
 * During the quest You'll Know It When It Happens, Colonel Moore may be missing.
 * In the desk in her office is a key, grab the key from her desk (the player will get negative karma, but no fame loss). She should now appear to be walking into her office.
 * During the quest Oh My Papa, when speaking to Regis, one will receive an objective update to speak to Cassandra Moore about an NCR/Great Khan alliance. When trying to speak to her, there is no dialogue option to speak about it.
