San Fransisco

City

San Francisco was hit hard by nukes, but it didn't kill the city. Instead it just mutated it into something a bit weirder. You'll have to make your way past an oddly revived Chinatown, post-apocalyptic punks, and wander the wharf with bizarre groups of cultists. Hmm, maybe San Francisco hasn't changed that much after all...

San Francisco is a city in California. After the Great War, its population consists mostly of the Shi, who are descendants of the crew of a Chinese submarine that crashed there. It is considered part of the NCR, but because of their vast wealth and contributions to the Republic, (without which the NCR would have died long ago) they remain an autonomously operating city-state complete with their own military who they call "Militia". The Shi are well known throughout the Republic for their synthetic fuel alternative which is used throughout the Wasteland. They are also well known for maintaining ownership over the banks throughout the NCR.


~Background~

Even pre-War, San Francisco was considered a "weird" city. It was also evidently hit hard during the Great War, as much of the city is a ruin. The city was re-founded after the war by Chinese submariners that drifted into the San Francisco harbor after their submarine, the Shi-Huang-Ti, suffered system failure from the atomic war. The Shi climbed out and began rebuilding the city with what few survivors they had, scrapping their beached submarine to create their Steel Palace.

The PMV Valdez can also be found here, an aged oil tanker left sitting at the docks. Tanker vagrants have since come to call it home, but the tanker has a darker past. Some say the creatures within it, were placed there by the Enclave to prevent the tanker from being used to get to their oil rig headquarters. This is supported by the fact that essential components needed to make use of the ship have been relocated to Navarro and Vault 13. However, it is apparent that these steps were not enough, as the Chosen One later collected the parts and used the tanker to get to Control Station Enclave.

Over the next 150 years, San Francisco rose into a hub of technology. The Shi eventually went into an uneasy trading relationship with the tanker vagrants after the destruction of the Hubologists, and the two groups went on to make San Francisco a major trading center.
