Battle for Boston Airport

The Battle for Boston Airport was the culmination of the Brotherhood of Steel's expedition to the Commonwealth.

Prelude
In the years before 2287, the Brotherhood sent two reconnasaince squads, Artemis and Gladius to gather intelligence about Boston and the surrounding area. Artemis went silent by 2287, but Gladius was still operational. During the latter half of the year, The Prydwen under full Vertibird escort came from the west, over Fort Hagen township and downtown Boston and docked at Boston International Airport.

Battle
The Brotherhood's first goal in the Commonwealth was to establish themselves a headquarters to support further operations, but the facility was infested with feral ghouls. To this end, the assault on the airport was their first combat mission in the region. The Vertibirds provided fire support to the teams to hit the ground, slaughtering dozens of ferals that roamed to locale. They then proceeded to hunt down the remaining ferals and ghouls running away.

Outcome
After the guns fell silent, the Brotherhood docked the Prydwen above the terminal and fortified the surrounding location with barricades. With their headquarters established above the airfield, they could get to work taking the fight to the mutants of the wasteland, as well as the Institute.

Appearances
The Battle for Boston Airport is mentioned only in Fallout 4.
