There is an old saying in the Wasteland…War, war never changes. Humanity’s progress was defined by our conflicts…over land…over ideas…and finally over the resources needed to fuel that very progress. On October 23rd, 2077, the Great War reached its climax and nuclear fire rolled across the planet.It only took a single day to wipe human civilization from the earth, nearly humanity itself. Our weapons had become terrifyingly powerful…but war, war never changes.In the years since, the survivors were caught in a constant struggle against the horrors of mutation and radiation…beset by the rising tide of barbarism…and authoritarian remnants, utilizing technology from the old world to attempt to conquer the new. A new tune and new dance partners, but war, war never changes.In the Capital Wasteland, one such conflict pitted the Enclave from Raven Rock against the forces of Elder Lyon’s Brotherhood of Steel to secure the technology of Project Purity and the promise of clean drinking water…and all the power and influence that comes with it.Ending in the destruction of the Enclave at Adams Air Force Base, it appeared that yet another bloody chapter of human conflict had come to a close…again, without our species learning any meaningful lessons.Or had it?Fleeing the destruction, a single damaged Vertibird struggled to maintain altitude as it crossed over the broken landscape…and unknowingly headed to a date with destiny, nearly two hundred years in the making.

From the moment the residents of Vault 76 stepped outside into the Wasteland of Appalachia their story has been leading to this moment.One final, desperate battle is being fought to determine the fate of not only Appalachia, but the future of humanity itself...Join us as our story reaches its thrilling climax!

Dr. Lucius Alistair once fancied himself a god among men. In his hands, the Forced Evolutionary Virus allowed him to reshape the human genome into his own twisted vision of perfection.Before his experiments in Vault 76, before Lilith...Lucius left a secret legacy deep within the walls of the Eastern Regional Penitentiary. Long thought lost, Site C could contain a treasure trove of research and could be the key to unlocking FEV’s full potential.Lilith and her team prepare to investigate the old prison, so she can claim her legacy…but the PACT is hot on their trail, eager to claim those secrets for themselves. In an epic confrontation behind the old prison walls, Lilith will face off against her fiercest opponent even as Appalachia begins tearing itself about around them.Far to the South, Trader Red and her band of survivors find themselves trapped by the Oni…a desperate message was sent to Vault Town and help is on the way, but will it arrive on time?The final tales of Appalachia are being told…and the future is still uncertain.

Before the bombs dropped, the Enclave spread its tendrils across Appalachia, co-opting regional military facilities for their own use. When President Eckhart assumed control of the Whitespring, he expanded the faction’s research facilities to further his plan to end the war with China once and for all…a plan that ended in ruin. Stein now leads Valeria and a hand-picked team to one such facility, only known as Site J, to scour it for weapons and armor…and more importantly, a potential ally against the PACT and MODUS. However, the enemy of my enemy isn’t always a friend…and long lost secrets can come with a heavy price. Meanwhile, Lilith and her own team start their trek to unlock her father’s secrets underneath the Eastern Regional Penitentiary…with the PACT close on their heels. And Trader Red and company try to contact Vault Town, only to find that they may have gone from the frying pan into the fire.

With the arrival of the Colonel and her band of New Enclave survivors, the remaining factions of Appalachia have regrouped at Vault Town. Facing nearly impossible odds, they’ll have to pool their resources if they stand any chance at all against what’s coming. Amidst the chaos, Stein and Sofia find their moment of happiness…for whatever time they have…a light against the darkness. Trader Red still has a few loose ends to tie up at Big Bend and soon finds that Appalachia isn’t quite done with her yet. While inside the PACT, the Council has a confrontation of its own…where the past and future are on a collision course. Despite the rising threat, not everyone sees Valeria as a shining beacon of hope…and a single act could change everything.
