Great Khans

The Great Khans are a raider tribe in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. Located in Red Rock Canyon, they make a living by drug production and trafficking.

Society
The Great Khans reside in tents within Red Rock Canyon. These homes have room for a couple of beds and a central fire. The Great Khans are not hostile towards newcomers. Their economy is based on profit from the sales of chemicals and drugs produced in the Red Rock drug lab. In the 2270s, the Followers of the Apocalypse taught the Great Khans reading, writing, and basic science in hopes that would create medical supplies, but the efforts backfired. Their biggest customer is the Fiends.

The Great Khans stay close to Red Rock with the exception of those engaging in drug trafficking. The Great Khans are hosting the arrival of an emissary of Caesar's Legion, Karl, and are working on forming an alliance with them in the prospect of taking the fight to their mutual enemy and aggressor, the NCR. They are hostile against anyone wearing NCR apparel, including the Courier.

Appearances
The Great Khans appear in Fallout: New Vegas and All Roads.

Behind the scenes

 * The tribe's culture is based on the Mongol warriors under the rule of Genghis Khan.
 * The tribe lends much of its aesthetic appeal to the American biker sub-culture that budded in the late seventies to the early nineties.

Bugs

 * If you convince Papa Khan that his people should claim their own destiny, the game can regard this as if you killed them all instead. NPCs will remark that "I heard the Great Khans got massacred at Red Rock Canyon; no survivors this time," and relevant dialogue will be the same as if the Khans had all been killed.
 * It has been reported that at Nellis Air Force Base, after trying to convince the Boomers to aid the NCR, coming out of Pearl's shack there were two generic Great Khans.
 * When trying to complete the Why Can't We Be Friends? quest, the dialogue option needed from Papa Khan may not show up especially if you are near the end of the Oh My Papa quest.
 * When completing and turning in the portion of the Aba Daba Honeymoon quest that involves the delivery to Motor-Runner when already "Idolized" with the Khans, the player may gain reputation with them, but somehow be cycled back down to "Accepted." This may be related to keeping the Khans faction uniform on when handing the quest in.
 * After killing Oscar Velasco in the side quest Climb Ev'ry Mountain, the player might find three Great Khans watching over them while they sleep. Three different Great Khans will appear at each bed and will not move or interact with the player. When talking to them, they will say 'Hi' and nothing else. Their appearance is probably due to the player's Great Khan reputation going down after murdering one of their clan; however, no attempt is made by them to attack or confront the player.
 * A Great Khan may run up to you at any place in the Mojave and try to enter conversation but will not say anything. The screen zooms into her face and zooms back out. This may interrupt resting times as well, except when resting at places such as the Lucky 38 presidential suite.
 * Three Great Khans may come with the Courier through the elevator to the presidential suite one day seemingly at random, after completing Oh My Papa and convincing the Great Khans to leave Red Rock Canyon. They wander around and interact with any companions that are staying in the Suite.
 * After becoming the leader of the Great Khans, the armorer in the Great Khan armory will stop selling you weapons and the option to engage in trading will not even show up.
 * The Khans will also spawn in areas that don't accept them (behind the Securitrons at the Strip Gate for example), this will generally result in them engaging whomever is hostile to them.
 * During fast travel or when waiting, one, two, or three Great Khans will appear - even in NCR camps. This bug is related to reputation combination for Great Khans. The bug occurs consistently and repeatably when Great Khan reputation is Mixed, Unpredictable, Soft-hearted Devil, Dark Hero or Wild Child. (Fix on PC: use console to set fame/infamy so reputation is not one of the problem reputations.)
