Battle of GNR Plaza

The Battle of GNR Plaza was an attack by super mutants on the Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel outpost at the GNR building plaza in 2277.

Background
The GNR building was an important outpost for the Brotherhood of Steel as it served as a safe haven for their soldiers in a city overrun with super mutants.

Battle
At some point in 2277, a large group of super mutants attacked GNR, almost overrunning it. The Brotherhood's elite unit, Lyons' Pride, was sent to reinforce the garrison and help repel the attack.

While making their way to the GNR building, the Pride was forced to fight through entrenched super mutants blocking their path. During these initial engagements, the team lost one of their newer members. If the player chooses, the Lone Wanderer can come across them and join them in pushing through the super mutant positions to the battle.

From there, the Pride (and the Lone Wanderer) succeeded in reaching GNR without further casualties, managing to come up behind the large force of super mutants assaulting the building and wipe them out with the aid of remaining members of the GNR garrison. Before they could celebrate their victory, a super mutant behemoth burst through a barricade, killing another initiate of the Pride, Reddin, in the process. After a lengthy battle, the Lone Wanderer and remaining Brotherhood soldiers successfully took down the behemoth.

Aftermath
Even though the plaza was cleared, super mutant patrols would continue to harass the GNR outpost for some time after, though to a far more manageable degree for the Brotherhood garrison. Initiate Reddin was posthumously promoted to paladin by Lyon's Pride commander, Sentinel Lyons.

Appearances
The Battle of GNR Plaza appears only in Fallout 3 if the player chooses to go to the GNR building plaza before Rivet City during the quest Following in His Footsteps.
