The Circle

The Circle of Steel is a faction within the Brotherhood of Steel meant for dealing with internal conflicts. Formed by hardliners in the Brotherhood of Steel, who believed the rest of the organization has drifted from the original principles of preserving tech. The Circle of Steel, in terms of their position relative to the Brotherhood proper, are the Internal Affairs of the whole Brotherhood of Steel.

Background
