Shady Sands (Fallout)

Shady Sands - A small farming community one can visit in Fallout 1 located between Vault 13 to the west and Vault 15 to the east. The leader of this village is Aradesh. They have trouble with radscorpions and raiders.

The town is typically the first settlement after Vault 13's caves that a player visits. This is due to its close proximity and location that's in the path between Vault 13 and Vault 15, the vault the player is advised to travel to at the start of Fallout 1.

By the time Fallout 2 starts, Shady Sands has become the capital of the New California Republic, and was most often referred to as "NCR" itself.
