NCR-Fiends War

The NCR-Fiends War is a war led by the NCR against the various drug-crazed raiders of the wasteland, known as Fiends. The conflict began when the NCR expanded into the Mojave Wasteland in 2253. When NCR president Wendell Peterson ordered battallions of NCR troops to the Mojave, the conflict had begun.

The Conflict
The NCR faces difficulty fighting the raiders in the Mojave Wasteland, which is contrary to the situation in the Core Region. As the Vipers and the Jackals are disassociated and the conflict with the Great Khans is over, the Fiends are of the highest concern of the NCR. The first group of raiders contacted by the NCR in the Mojave, the Fiends made themselves known when they murdered 38 citizens of the NCR. A mild response to the massacre resulted in Joanna Tibbett being voted out of office as NCR president and being replaced by Wendell Peterson.

Although Peterson employed several troops to the Mojave, the Fiends simply grew more determined to drive out the Republic. Although the Fiends utilize similar guerilla tactics to other raiders,a more sophisticated organization allows for a more significant threat. Raids on Camp McCarran and Westside is a constant concern for the NCR citizenry.

By 2281, the guerilla raids by the Fiends on NCR territory has resulted in increased security in places such as NCR Sharecropper Farms, Westside, and Camp McCarran. The main leaders of the Fiends have been targeted for death by Major Dhatri.
