Macomb

Macomb is a town located in the area of the pre-war city of Macomb, Illinois, southwest of Chicago.

Around 2197, the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel received a distress call from one of their squads acting as escort to a supply wagon passing through Macomb. A single unit was separated from the main group and the road behind him has been blocked off. The APC was attacked not only by bandits, but also by hungry and desperate people, as the Brotherhood of Steel supply wagons carry food, weapons, and medical supplies - the three most sought after commodities in the Wasteland. The vehicle and Pilot Christian, the driver were rescued by a small Brotherhood squad and three extermination squads were dispatched to Macomb to remove the assorted "riffraff". Those who weren't killed paid back the Brotherhood's "generosity" by serving in labor camps.

One of the few inhabitants of Macomb who weren't hostile to the Brotherhood was Phillip Wilson, the town librarian. It is unknown what happened to him.
