Boomers

The  are a tribe descended from a group of vault dwellers who left Vault 34 who revere explosions and the discharge of weapons. Led by Pearl, they fiercely defend their territory at the north-east of the Mojave Wasteland against any intruder, which they nicknamed "savage".

History
Vault 34's armory was heavily overstocked with weapons and armors but was impossible to lock. After a riot, the Overseer installed a lock (ransacking, in part, the experimentation that was planned in Vault 34), had the munitions guarded closely, and did not allow the use of firearms or explosives in the vault. This emphasized conflict, however, and after a conflict with the Overseer, a group of vault dwellers left Vault 34 with some equipment from the armory and wandered in the Mojave wastes, taking the name "Boomers."

While killing raiders that could not match their firepower and seeking a new refuge, they came across Nellis Air Force Base and settled in. They dragged the artillery across the Mojave Wasteland and used it to keep out virtually all wastelanders.

Never going out (not wanting to confuse themselves with wastelanders they called "savage") and looking for a outsider who could successfully approach, they hoped to recover an old Boeing B-29 Superfortress that crashed deep in the Lake Mead for use of it as a bomber against those who are too close to their territory.

Society
Having left the Vault 34 and found the Nellis Air Force Base, the Boomers had to find new clothes that reflect their independence. They found old military jackets in the base and used them over their vault jumpsuit. Each jacket sports several military medals for decoration and embroidering in the back over the number "34," to never forget where they came from.

They are a self-educated society, produce their own food and weapons, live in Autarky, and have no relations with the outside world.

Boomers are attached to their history, whether past or present. A large fresco in their museum tells of their great epoch, out of the Vault 34 to the future acquisition of the B-29.

Structure
Their structure is very basic; there is a doctor, a leader, mechanicians, and guards to protect their base. Only the leader can give orders to the others and have absolute power over everything. There is also a security commander who commands the base's defenses against wastelanders.

Military
The Boomers have no military hierarchy; there are guards who protect the territory against any individual who tries to pass, the security commander who coordinates the guards and military operations, and the leader who has absolute power over policy adoption of the Boomers.

Relations with the outside
They are hostile towards anyone who tries to approach their base and do not trade with anyone.

Technology
Coming from one of the best-equipped Vault existing, Boomers are extremely well-equipped; they each have a Pip-Boy 3000 and are specialized in explosives. They have Missile Launchers, Grenade Launchers, Fat Men, and even many old military howitzers they use to repel anyone trying to make their way to the base entrance. It uses many Mister Gutsy that have been reprogrammed after the Boomers' arrival at Nellis Air Force Base. The base produces its energy through solar panels.

They also have flight simulators that can teach any Boomer to use any plane, whether hunting or bomber. Unfortunately they have no planes in working order, but they train their flight skills for the future use of the B-29.
