Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel or the Capital Wasteland detachment is a contingent of the Brotherhood of Steel in Washington D.C.[1][2] The group's headquarters is located in the Citadel, led by Elder Owyn Lyons.
Background
Crossing the country from the West Coast, the group traveled to the region in an effort to recover technology from the eastern cities and bases.[3][4]
On the way, the group passed through the ruins of Pittsburgh, a chaotic and violent city. In one night, the group swept through the city and eliminated the threats in the area.[5] The contingent saved unmutated children, bringing them along with them as they moved forward, assimilating them into their ranks.[6] This event was named the Scourge, and resulted in one soldier left behind and presumed dead, Initiate Ashur.[7]
Citadel
The Brotherhood intended on recovering the advanced technology and leaving as intended, arriving in the Capital Wasteland in 2255.[8][9] Elder Lyons realized the extent of a super mutant threat in the meantime and felt it was their responsibility to aid the local communities in the struggle, a decision in which the leadership back west disagreed with.[10] The faction works to find and archive technology and information located at major locations in the Capital Wasteland as well as strive to repair a large robot in the Citadel named Liberty Prime.
Aiding in the effort, a group of special Brotherhood forces known as Lyons' Pride is led by Elder Lyons' daughter, Sentinel Sarah Lyons. This group of paladins works to secure locations such as GNR building plaza. Another group, 2nd Monument Defense Detachment, guards the Washington Monument. A group of Brotherhood members who disagree with Elder Lyons' mission and decisions have broken off, now known as the Brotherhood Outcasts.[11][12]
Project Purity
In an effort to assist the local populace, one of the initiatives the Brotherhood is engaged in involves protecting scientists at the Jefferson Memorial as they attempt to activate a water purifier. The Enclave threatens the location, attempting to occupy the location and its technology, conflicting with the Brotherhood's initiative.
If successful in repelling the Enclave, the Brotherhood's Scribe Bigsley cooperates with the Rivet City Security Force led by Officer Lepelletier to distribute large quantities of purified water to various settlements including Megaton, Rivet City, Tenpenny Tower, Republic of Dave, Girdershade, Canterbury Commons, Temple of the Union, Arefu, Little Lamplight, Big Town and Oasis.
Publications
“The Brotherhood of Steel is a neo-knightly order that rose from the ashes of the American military of the West Coast in the years following the devastation of 2077. The organization’s tenets include the eradication of mutants and worship of technology, and the Brotherhood has never been very keen on sharing their resources with their fellow Wastelanders (who they generally consider too ignorant and irresponsible to deserve such advanced technology).
The Brotherhood is generally beneficial to humanity, but they have their faults: They don’t care for mutants; they worship technology (and in many cases put it above human life); and they don’t like to share their choicest technological discoveries, despite the obvious benefits their technology could bring to the Wasteland. It’s commonly accepted within the Brotherhood that the people of the Wasteland are not responsible enough to use (and maintain) all of the technology the B.O.S. has at their disposal. They are known for trading some of their technologies with frontier communities and N.C.R. states, but they keep the more sensitive technologies to themselves.
Unlike the chivalrous knights of old, members of the Brotherhood are not interested in justice for the obviously weaker and less fortunate around them, but instead in keeping their secrecy and preserving and developing technology. Their motives are often unclear, and Brotherhood members are not people to be trifled with. The east coast contingent of the Brotherhood has “gone native” under the leadership of Elder Owyn Lyons. Lyons believes he has a responsibility to protect the people of the Capital Wasteland from the Super Mutant threat. His knights have forgone the mission to recover new technology, and instead acts as a kind of security force. Lyons runs operations from a stronghold christened the Citadel, a heavily defended structure built from the ruins of an ancient building known as “the Pentagon.””— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Faction profiles
