NCR-Fiends War

The NCR-Fiends War is a war led by the NCR against the various drug-crazed raiders of the Mojave Wasteland, known as Fiends. The conflict began when NCR president Wendell Peterson ordered battalions of troops into the Mojave, marking the beginning of NCR expansion.

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

War
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 as other raiders, a more sophisticated organization results in a greater threat. Raids on Camp McCarran and Westside is a constant concern for NCR citizenry.

By 2281, the guerrilla 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.
