"War, war never changes.""Years of consumption lead to shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. For those living in America during this time, peace became a distant memory. And then, the bombs fell.""When atomic fire consumed the earth, it was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control. Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth.""A quiet darkness fell across the planet, lasting many years. Few survived the devastation. But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history. There were few lucky enough to have been spared nuclear annihilation. Through a series of vaults constructed prior to the Great War, humanity lived on. Then, they began to emerge. Vault Dwellers, as they had been dubbed, stepped into a world very different from the one they had stepped out of. The world was different, changed in a fundamental way that could never be undone.""But not all was lost. While man had succeeded in destroying the world, it was man who would rebuild it. Careful to not repeat the same mistakes of their distant ancestors.""But war - war never changes."
