Battle of Huntersville

The Battle of Huntersville was the decisive assault on the super mutant-entrenched town of Huntersville in 2086, staged by the Responders and Brotherhood of Steel.

Background
In October 2082, the Responders were aware of the super mutant threat near Huntersville. Despite heavy munition requests from the Brotherhood, the Responders were still able to attempt to contain the hostile mutants. However, after the Christmas Flood in December 2082, the strength and number of the Responders was drastically reduced.

The group took what little remaining supplies they had and migrated north to the Morgantown Airport, far from the mutant stronghold. With the sudden lack of Responder presence and patrols in the region, groups of super mutants were able to move further into the Forest, settling in Summersville, the newly-uncovered New Gad, and parts of the Charleston ruins.

After rebuilding at the airport and seeing the danger that the super mutants posed to Appalachia's inhabitants, the Responders joined forces with the Brotherhood to prepare to eliminate the threat at its source. In March 2086, super mutant conflicts near Huntersville began to intensify, causing basic training at Camp Venture to be rushed for new Brotherhood recruits.

Battle
Started by a speech from Brotherhood leader Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy, the allied forces launched their attack on the city. The allied forces were victorious in eradicating the mutants from Huntersville, with Paladin Swafford, Squire De Silva, and at least five others killed. High Elder Roger Maxson, founder of the Brotherhood of Steel, congratulated the united forces for their effort and wrote a eulogy for Squire De Silva. The Brotherhood temporarily occupied the town, setting up barriers and a small recon station.

Appearances
The Battle of Huntersville is mentioned only in Fallout 76.
