Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Royst-Bernard Expedition

 is a faction $$

Overview
Based on the summit of Black Mountain, the group is one of the most well-equipped factions in the Mojave, with access to Vertibird transports and top-tier equipment.

Due to the unethical and destructive nature of the research the Expedition seeks to recover, they have been disowned and abandoned by the Republic, and have lost many personnel to the hazards of the Mojave.

Though many Survivors in NCR gear may be encountered, Royst-Bernard Expedition personnel are differentiated as NCR Troopers, Rangers, or Researchers, Their two main bases are located on the summit of Black Mountain and Camp Golf. Surviving members of their failed breach of New Vegas can be encountered in the Old Mormon Fort.

Expedition Troopers and Rangers pose a formidable threat to unprepared players, since they are armed with high-quality weaponry and are protected by excellent armor.

Rangers, found alive only at Camp Golf and Nellis Air Force Base, wield heavy weaponry and retain their Ranger Veteran or Patrol Armor, which puts them among the deadliest humanoid hostiles in the Mojave.

Researchers found at Black Mountain, Camp Golf, and Old Mormon Fort will usually flee if combat is initiated, with the notable exception being Researchers located in the Old Mormon Fort, who utilize lootable Radiation Suits and will attack Survivors using Arc Welders.

With Royst being on trial, members of the Royst-Bernard Expedition stationed throughout the Mojave are trying to convince the judge supposedly in charge, Elizabeth Ware, of the immense value his research provides, including calling his possible incarceration to be a "crime against humanity".
