Brotherhood of steel可说视贯通整个Fallout系列的组织，由过去所出现的游戏所构筑起
的内容十分丰富，在此先简述背景，之后会在更新其他章节。希望不会太占版面。
==============================================================================
兄弟会的起源
The Brotherhood of Steel was founded by Roger Maxson, a captain in the United
States Army. Led by Colonel Robert Spindel, Maxson was part of a team sent on
January 3, 2076 to monitor progress at a West-Tek facility in California,
which was conducting research on behalf of the American government. On
January 7, 2077, all West-Tek research and personnel – Maxson and his team
included – were relocated to the newly constructed Mariposa Military Base in
an effort to enhance security.
钢铁兄弟会是由美军上尉，罗杰‧麦克森所建立，他过去曾是罗伯特‧史宾德上校所带领
的小队中的一员。他们的任务是于２０７６年１月３日前往西方科技公司于加州所设立，
代表美国政府进行研究的设施进行监督。在２０７７年１月７日，西方科技公司所有的研
究计画及其员工（包含麦克森与他的小队）转移至新建的马里波萨军事基地，目的在于强
化其防护安全。
On October 10, 2077, Captain Maxson and his men discovered, to their horror,
that the West-Tek scientists at Mariposa were using military prisoners as
unwilling test subjects for their genetically engineered Forced Evolutionary
Virus (F.E.V.). Morale in the base quickly collapsed and Colonel Spindel
suffered a mental breakdown, eventually committing suicide five days later.
In the midst of the crisis, Maxson's men turned to him for leadership.Captain Maxson proceeded to interrogate Robert Anderson, the chief scientist
of the West-Tek research team stationed at Mariposa, learning the extent of
their experiments. Anderson, along with most of his research team, were
subsequently executed for their crimes.
２０７７年１０月１０日，麦克森上尉与他的队员发现了可怕的真相，西方科技公司的科
学家在马里波萨，以基地中的囚犯进行非自愿的实验计画，实验主题是基因工程强制进化
病毒（F.E.V.）。目睹真相后，基地的士气迅速下降，史宾德上校心神崩溃并于五天后自
尽。在这场危机中，麦克森的队员推举他成为了新领导者。麦克森上尉审问了西方科技研
究团队的科学主任罗伯特‧安德森，了解整个实验内容。安德森及大部分的研究团队随后
都因其所犯下的罪过遭到处决。
Maxson, now in control of the base, declared his desertion from the United
States Army via radio on October 20. To his confusion, he received no
response from the chain-of-command, as the U.S. Army was currently focused on
escalating conflicts with the Chinese. Three days later on October 23, both
nations launched their entire nuclear arsenals. Within two hours, the Great
War had ended and much of the Earth was reduced to a radioactive wasteland.
On October 21 Maxson ordered that the families, including his, be brought
inside the base to protect them. The Mariposa Military Base survived the
onslaught, its numerous safety protocols protecting the soldiers within from
the radiation and the F.E.V., which had been accidentally released and was
now seeping into the newborn Wasteland. Two days after the attack, on October
25, Captain Maxson sent one of his men, Platner, outside in protective power
armor to scout the area and gather readings on the atmosphere. Platner
reported no significant amounts of radiation in the surrounding area.
麦克森现在控制了整个基地，于１０月２０日以广播对外宣布他们脱离美军。但令他困惑
的是并未收到任何指挥系统的答复，因为美军正专注于对付与中国军队的冲突。三天后，
于１０月２３日，中美双方发射各自所拥有的核子武器。不到两个小时，大战争落幕。地
球大部分的土地都沦为辐射污染的废土。就在１０月２１日，麦克森命令包括他自己在内
所有队员的家人都必须进入基地内以受保护。马里波萨军事基地在灾变之后幸存，而基地
内所设下的各种安全协定，使士兵们得以远离辐射威胁以及因意外外泄而逐渐渗入这个新
生废土的F.E.V.。大战后两天，于１０月２５日，麦克森上尉派遣他的手下，普拉特纳中
士，在动力装甲的保护下搜索附近的区域，并收集大气读数。普拉特纳中士回报周围区域
并未受到辐射污染影响。
After burying the bodies of Anderson and his executed staff members, Captain
Maxson and his men raided the base for various supplies and weapons
schematics before sealing Mariposa and venturing off into the desert. The
following weeks of travel inflicted casualties on the party at the hands of
various raider gangs and the harsh conditions of the Wasteland. In November
2077, Captain Maxson eventually led his band of survivors to the safety of
Lost Hills, a government fallout shelter. This journey came to be
immortalized in Brotherhood lore as “the Exodus”.
在埋葬安德森及其他遭处决的人员后，麦克森上尉及其他手下带走了基地中各式各样的补
给品与武装设计图，并在前往荒地冒险前封锁整个马里波萨。在接下来几周的旅程，因子
个强盗帮派袭击与废土艰难状况，造成了队伍成员不少伤亡。２０７７年１１月，麦克森
上尉带领幸存者们来到了安全设施，前政府所建立的辐射避难所－失落山丘。这趟旅程成
为了之后千古留名的兄弟会传说，“大出走”。
In time, Captain Maxson set the bunker as the headquarters for his new
organization, the Brotherhood of Steel. As the Brotherhood's first High
Elder, Maxson sought to use Lost Hills' resources to help rebuild
civilization – no matter the cost.
这时，麦克森上尉将地堡设置为他所成立的新组织，钢铁兄弟会的总部。做为兄弟会的第
一位大长老，麦克森打算利用失落山丘的资源协助重建文明，无论得付出什么代价。
早期阶段
Relatively little is known about the early years of the Brotherhood of Steel.
In 2134, an emerging faction of the Brotherhood, led by Sergeant Dennis
Allen, petitioned the Council of Elders for permission to explore the
remnants of the West-Tek research facility in search of technological
artifacts. In the wake of the Great War, the facility was left a highly
irradiated ruin referred to by locals as “the Glow”. The Elders thus denied
Sergeant Allen's request, prompting him and his followers to splinter from
the Brotherhood, taking some advanced weapons and technology with them.
Despite this incident, the Brotherhood of Steel continued to grow in strength
under the guidance of Elder Maxson, further refining their technology and
gradually forming the orders of Knights, Scribes, and Paladins that are known
today. That following year, Roger Maxson died of cancer. His son, Maxson II,
succeeded him as High Elder.
对于兄弟会的早期阶段并没有太多相关资讯。２１３４年，一股由丹尼斯‧艾伦所带领的
新兴势力出现在兄弟会之中，他们向长老议会请愿，希望得到同意以探索西方科技公司所
遗留下的研究设施寻找技术产物。大战争后，有个设施被遗留在收高度辐射污染的废墟中
，一个被当地居民命名为发光地的地点。长老们否决了艾伦中士的请愿，促使艾伦及他的
追随者脱离了兄弟会，并且带走了一些高科技武器与技术。尽管有这意外插曲，兄弟会仍
在麦克森长老的领导下持续壮大，持续琢磨所拥有的科技技术，并逐步成立今日所听闻的
骑士、学士与圣骑士阶级。隔年，罗杰‧麦克森死于癌症。他的儿子，麦克森二世接任其
位，成为了大长老。
In the 2150's, the Brotherhood began extending their influence out into the
surrounding areas, quickly asserting their place as one of the major powers
of New California of the post-War West Coast. The early 50's saw the
emergence of a prominent raider group known as the Vipers, who quickly
established a base of operations in the badlands to the south of Lost Hills.
Driven by a near-religious frenzy, the Vipers' raids become bolder and more
frequent over time, eventually attracting the attention of the Brotherhood of
Steel.
在２１５０年代，兄弟会扩展了他们对四周的影响力，迅速地成为了战后加州西方海岸最
为主要的势力之一。在５０年代早期，兄弟会发现了一个日渐壮大的强盗组织毒蛇帮，他
们的行动基地设在失落山丘的南方荒野。由几近宗教般的狂热所驱使，毒蛇帮的掠夺行动
越来越大胆且频繁，最终吸引到钢铁兄弟会的注意。
In 2155, the Brotherhood sent a handful of squads out into the Wasteland to
track the Vipers down. To the Elders, this seemed a glorified training
exercise, as they were convinced that a small detachment of Brotherhood
troops in power armor would be sufficient to deal with a band of raiders, no
matter how large. One Brotherhood squad, led by High Elder Maxson II himself,
located the Vipers. Expecting the raiders to break and run at the sight of
such a heavily armed force, Maxson did not take into account the Vipers' zeal
and ferocity... or their poisoned weapons. A single arrow nicked the High
Elder while he had his helmet off, leading to his death a few hours later.
John Maxson, grandson of Roger, took up the role of High Elder.
２１５５年，兄弟会派遣了几只小队前往废土外寻找毒蛇帮的踪迹。对于长老们而言，这
不过只是项训练测验，他们相信只需几名穿着动力装甲的兄弟会成员便足以对付哪怕再大
的强盗帮派。其中一支由大长老麦克森二世所领导的兄弟会小队找到了毒蛇帮。他认为这
些帮派走狗在看到了兄弟会所持有的强大火力必定会畏惧而逃跑，但他却没预料到这群毒
蛇帮成员的狂热与凶残......以及他们手中持有的有毒武器。一支涂有剧毒的弓箭划伤了
大长老未著头盔的颈部。数个小时后，大长老死去。罗杰的孙子，约翰‧麦克森接任成为
了新的大长老。
In the wake of this incident, the newly appointed Head Paladin Rhombus
launched a full-scale campaign against the Vipers, hunting them down and
driving them to near-extinction over the course of a month. The few remaining
Vipers managed to scatter north and east to the Sierra Madre mountain range.
It was towards the end of this campaign that the Brotherhood sent a handful
of scouts and emissaries to the Hub in order to track down these runaway
Vipers. It was from these beginnings that the Hub and the Brotherhood of
Steel opened full trade relations. (Caravans had delivered to the Brotherhood
in the past, but in the wake of the Vipers' destruction, caravan trains now
ran directly from the Hub to the Brotherhood's headquarters at Lost Hills on
a regular basis.)
这场意外发生后，新上任的首席圣骑士伦巴斯发起一场对毒蛇帮的大型战役。一个月内，
多数的毒蛇帮成员遭到猎杀，使他们几近灭绝，残存的毒蛇帮四散于马德雷山脉的北方与
东方。这场战役的尾端，兄弟会派遣几位侦查兵与特使，前往中心城以追踪逃亡的毒蛇帮
成员，自此开启了钢铁兄弟会与中心城的全面贸易关系。（过去亦有商队往来于兄弟会与
中心城，但在毒蛇帮瓦解后，现在的商队能够定期地直接从中心城前往兄弟会的总部失落
山丘进行贸易。）
超级变种人事件
Several years after the Viper campaign, the Brotherhood of Steel encountered
an enemy far more formidable than any band of raiders. In October of 2161, a
Brotherhood patrol stumbled upon the corpse of a super mutant. The remains
were transported back to Lost Hills for study by Head Scribe Vree.
毒蛇帮战役的几年后，钢铁兄弟会遭遇了远远超过帮派匪徒的可怕敌人。在２１６１年
１０月，一个兄弟会的巡逻队恰巧碰见一具超级变种人的尸体。这具遗骸被移送回失落山
丘让首席学士微礼进行研究。
In 2162, the Vault-Dweller arrived at the Lost Hills bunker, seeking entry
into the Brotherhood. His request was not taken seriously and he was tasked
with retrieving the records of Sergeant Dennis Allen's expedition from the
hazardous ruins of the Glow, a fool's errand commonly used to deter would-be
Brotherhood members. To the Brotherhood's surprise, not only did the
Vault-Dweller return from the West-Tek facility alive, but he had also
succeeded in his fool's errand and recovered a holodisk recording of Allen's
doomed expedition. As a result, the Vault-Dweller became the first outsider
in to be accepted into the Brotherhood of Steel, despite the protests of a
few members.
在２１６２年，避难所居民（一代主角）抵达失落山丘地堡，寻求进入兄弟会的方法。他
的要求并未被认真看待，却得到一个测验：回收位于发光地，关于丹尼斯‧艾伦中士的远
征队的记录档，完成测验才能加入兄弟会。这项愚蠢的考验常成为用以吓阻想加入兄弟会
的外人们。但令兄弟会惊讶的是，避难所居民竟能从西方科技公司的设施成功生还，还一
同完成了这“愚蠢的考验”并带回一张全息磁盘，里面有关于艾伦中士远征队的毁灭的记
录档。最后，尽管仍受到不少内部成员的抗议，避难所居民成为了这几十年来，第一位受
钢铁兄弟会接纳的外来者成员。
It was from the Vault-Dweller that the Brotherhood subsequently learned of
the Master's mutant army and its plans to forcibly convert the surviving
human population into Super Mutants. With the support of High Elder John
Maxson, the Vault-Dweller was able to convince the Council of Elders to
deploy a squad of Paladins to Mariposa, where the Master's F.E.V. vats were
located. With the assistance of the Brotherhood, the Vault-Dweller managed to
defeat the Master and disrupt his mutant army. They also helped drive some
mutants away from other human outposts.[2] At this point in time, the
Brotherhood of Steel stood as the most technologically advanced faction in
New California. Although the remaining super mutants and the nascent Gun
Runners had access to comparably advanced weaponry, the Brotherhood had a
monopoly on power armor, supercomputers, and advanced medical technologies,
such as cybernetics. With this technology slowly being introduced into New
California, the Brotherhood of Steel became a major research and development
house.
因避难所居民的到来，让兄弟会逐步了解主宰的变种人军团以及主宰的计画：将人类全部
强迫转变成超级变种人。在大长老约翰‧麦克森的支持下，避难所居民说服了长老议会，
并派遣一支圣骑士小队前往主宰所持有的F.E.V.储藏桶的地点，马里波萨军事基地。兄弟
会也协助其他人类基地避免受变种人的威胁。此刻钢铁兄弟会成为了加州地区，拥有最新
进技术的势力。虽说其他残存的超级变种人以及刚起步的军火贩子同样拥有先进军火，兄
弟会仍旧独占著动力装甲、超级电脑及先进医疗科技（如电子神经学）。随着这些科学技
术慢慢地展现在新加州地区，钢铁兄弟会成为了最主要的研究与发展中心。
事件之后
In the wake of the Master's defeat, the Brotherhood of Steel began arguing
amongst itself over the need for new recruits versus their secrecy as an
organization. In the end, most of the Elders ruled against the sharing of
their technology with outsiders, confident that their organization could
survive on their traditional principles. The minority who opposed this ruling
were sent eastward to track down the last remnants of the Master's army via a
small fleet of airships. When these airships crash-landed near the ruins of
Chicago, the surviving individuals founded the Midwestern chapter of the
Brotherhood. In the following years, the Brotherhood continued to expand
somewhat, establishing small outposts throughout California, as well as
launching expeditions to regions such as Washington, D.C., and the Mojave.
随着主宰殒落，钢铁兄弟会内部开始有了关于是否招募新血或是继续维持组织秘密现状的
争执。最后，大多数的长老仍拒绝分享兄弟会所持有的科技技术给外来者，他们很有自信
地认为兄弟会能够在遵守传统教条下继续生存下去。少数不满这项统治模式的成员使用小
型飞行器，前往东方寻找逃亡的残存主宰军队。这些飞行器最后迫降在邻近芝加哥的废墟
中，幸存的兄弟会成员在此地建立了钢铁兄弟会中西部分部。接下来的数年，兄弟会持续
扩展并建立了数个小型哨站于整个加州，并同时发起了对数个地区的远征，例如华盛顿哥
伦比亚特区以及莫哈维。
In addition, the end of the Master was accompanied by the birth of the New
California Republic (NCR). What began in the small farming community of Shady
Sands quickly blossomed into a spirited effort to reclaim what was lost in
the Great War. As the young NCR expanded, the Lost Hills region was
incorporated into the growing nation in the form of the newly founded state
of Maxson. While the bunker itself still remained under the control of the
Brotherhood, the NCR held jurisdiction over the lands outside. Though
tensions simmered between the two factions, peaceful relations remained.
此外，在主宰灭亡后，新加州共和国（NCR）诞生了，从过去务农为主的沙地小镇迅速地发
展成致力于恢复因大战争所失去的文明国度。当早期的NCR开始扩展时，失落山丘被并入
在这个成长中的国度，成为了一个新建立的麦克森州。虽然地堡仍为兄弟会所控制，NCR还
是拥有着整块土地的管辖权。双方气氛紧绷而至一触即发的状态，但两个阵营还是维持在
和平相处的状态。
英克雷军来袭
By 2242, the Brotherhood of Steel were but a fraction of the power they had
been once before. With the emergence of the Enclave, the Brotherhood found
that they were no longer the most advanced faction in the Wasteland.
Intimidated and lacking the resources to deal with this new foe, the best the
Brotherhood could manage was just to keep an eye on the newcomers. To this
end, several previously-dormant bunkers and outposts in areas of Enclave
activity were reactivated.
２２４２年时，钢铁兄弟会从未如此感到无能为力过。英克雷军的出现使得兄弟会理解到
他们不再是这个废土上最先进的阵营。兄弟会畏惧且缺乏资源以对付这个新出现的组织，
他们能够做的便是张大双眼紧盯这个新来的阵营。之后为了监视英克雷军的活动，他们重
新启用该地好几个过去停止使用的地堡及哨点。
Eventually, the Brotherhood learned of the Enclave's Vertibird technology.
Lacking any similar technology of their own, the Brotherhood saw itself as
vulnerable to a possible Enclave invasion. In light of this possibility,
Matthew, an operative stationed in the San Francisco outpost, was requested
to enlist the aid of the Chosen One to steal a set of Vertibird schematics
from a major Enclave outpost at Navarro.
最后，兄弟会发现了英克雷军所持有的飞鸟科技。在缺乏类似的飞行科技下，假设英克雷
军真的进攻兄弟会，兄弟会将毫无招架之力。面对这样的可能性，在旧金山兄弟会哨站的
间谍马修，赋予获选者（二代主角）一项任务：偷取位在英克雷军最主要的哨站纳瓦罗的
飞鸟设计图。
Although the Chosen One was successful in his mission, it is unknown if the
Vertibird plans ever reached the High Council, as Operative Matthew was
killed by Agent Frank Horrigan a short time after the mission's completion.
However, with the destruction of their oil rig base and NCR forces
subsequently hunting down remaining members, the Enclave ceased to pose a
threat on the West Coast.
虽说获选者成功地完成这项任务，仍无从得知飞鸟设计图是否成功地送达兄弟会的最高议
会，因为间谍马修在这项任务完成后不久，便被英克雷特工法兰克‧荷瑞根杀死了。然而
，随着油井平台遭到摧毁以及NCR的军队开始追猎残存的英克雷军，英克雷不再是西部海
岸的威胁了。
与NCR的战争
(以下内容建立在Van Buren的开发内容上，并不能直接被认为是Fallout宇宙的正统内容)
By 2231, Jeremy Maxson had assumed the position of High Elder. Vocal in his
ideas of pushing Brotherhood operations eastward, Maxson was also notably
aggressive in his “hoarding” of pre-War technology. The High Elder sought
to restore the Brotherhood of Steel to power by wresting any and all advanced
technology from the hands of “lesser people” by any means necessary.
Naturally, this led to disputes with the New California Republic, which had
always been in favor of utilizing advanced technology for the benefit of
society. Not long after the destruction of the Enclave, conflict erupted
between the Brotherhood and the NCR.
２２３１年，杰瑞米‧麦克森继承大长老一职。他的理念在将兄弟会的行动向东推进，且
麦克森对于占有战前科技尤其执著。大长老想靠着不计代价，从那些所谓“下等人种”的
手上夺取所有高科技技术，以恢复钢铁兄弟会的力量。自然地，兄弟会对上了致力于将先
进科技带回到社会文明的新加州共和国。就在英克雷军瓦解的不久后，兄弟会与NCR爆发了冲突。
With their superior technology, the Brotherhood managed to hold out against
the NCR, even coming close to achieving total victory and avoiding a
protracted conflict altogether, However, the Lost Hills Brotherhood's
technological advantage was gradually outmatched by the sheer size of the NCR
military; no matter how many troops the NCR lost, they always seemed to have
more. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood, a selective and isolationist group, lacked
sorely in numbers. This discrepancy in troop numbers caused major issues for
the Brotherhood, fundamental weakness that has been constant until recently
as the Brotherhood has started recruiting from the outside. The Brotherhood
was forced to retreat into their bunkers, where they remained in hiding.
However according to terminals on the Prydwen, the Brotherhood has been able
to come out of hiding in the west and is operating on the surface again once
more.
兄弟会仗着高科技技术，意图在避免长期抗战的情况下与NCR争斗直到完全的胜利。然而
，失落山丘的兄弟会所持有的技术优势，逐渐地被NCR的军队庞大的规模给超越。无论损失
多少士兵，NCR总是能招募到更多的人力。与此同时，兄弟会是个很挑人的孤立组织，因
此严重地缺乏人手。如此的士兵数量差距导致了兄弟会最主要的问题，这个根本弱点直至
最近兄弟会开始对外招募新血才有所改变。最后兄弟会被迫退回他们的地堡继续躲避隐藏
。不过根据普利德温号（四代兄弟会的飞空艇）上的电脑记载，西部的兄弟会已从隐蔽中
走出，再次回到了地表。
(以上内容建立在Van Buren的开发内容上，并不能直接被认为是Fallout宇宙的正统内容)
The Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood would still be fighting the NCR in
2274. After establishing a base at the HELIOS One solar plant, the Mojave
Brotherhood soon found itself at odds with the NCR and its growing power in
the region. Eventually, the NCR sought to control HELIOS One and the
Brotherhood. Under orders from their Elder, against the will of his Paladins,
the Brotherhood refused to leave. This led to a confrontation between the
two, and while the Brotherhood's superior technology and training was able to
inflict outstanding losses on the NCR, eventually the NCR's superior numbers
prevailed, forcing the Brotherhood to retreat. With nearly half the chapter
dead, the Mojave Brotherhood retreated to Hidden Valley, where Paladin
McNamara, in light of the disappearance of Elder Elijah following the battle,
took the role of Elder upon himself and placed the complex under lockdown.
The Brotherhood's loss can be put down to its indefensible location, its low
manpower, and its poor leadership in Elder Elijah. Colonel Moore states that
had the Brotherhood not suffered from such poor leadership, and had been able
to utilize its training, then despite their numerical advantage, the NCR
would still have lost. Since then, the Brotherhood's presence in the Mojave
Wasteland has been restricted to only a few scouting missions, a point of
major controversy within the chapter. The Courier, however, may prove to the
elder that the NCR is no where near as strong as he thinks it is, causing
Elder McNamara to lift the lockdown, allowing patrols into the wastes once
more.
２２７４年，莫哈维的兄弟会分部仍持续与NCR抗战。莫哈维兄弟会于太阳能发电厂．太
阳神一号建立了据点，并与NCR于此地区日渐扩大的势力关系紧绷。最后，NCR意图控制整
个太阳神一号及兄弟会。而兄弟会此处的长老无视手下圣骑士的想法，拒绝让兄弟会撤退
，最后导致了双方冲突。尽管兄弟会的士兵持有高科技武器及训练有素的作战能力，能够
对NCR的部队造成重大损失，NCR的部队依旧以人数胜过了兄弟会，并迫使兄弟会撤退。近
半数莫哈维分部的成员战死，莫哈维兄弟会最后撤退至隐蔽山谷，圣骑士麦克纳马拉在前
一位长老以利亚失踪后，成为了接替的长老，并下令此地进行封锁。兄弟会的失败可归咎
于三点：不适防守的据点、缺乏的人力以及长老以利亚贫弱的领导能力。NCR的摩尔上校
指出，假设兄弟会若无如此无能的领导者，加上他们本身训练有素的能力，就算NCR有着
人数上的优势也是会战败。之后，兄弟会仅透过一些探索任务出没于莫哈维废土地表，这
成为了莫哈维分部中最主要的争论点。但信使（NV的主角）有可能会向长老证明了NCR并
无如他所想像中步步进逼，促使长老麦克纳马拉解除对外的封锁，并允许巡逻队重新回到
废土上。
前进东方
In the year 2254, the Brotherhood sent a large contingent under the
leadership of Owyn Lyons eastward. Their primary goal was to make contact
with the lost Midwestern Brotherhood chapter, who had previously been sent
east to hunt down the remnants of the Master's army. The contingent failed to
make contact with the Midwestern Brotherhood and ended up overshooting their
target, marching all the way to Pittsburgh. Upon arrival, it became obvious
to Elder Lyons that the East Coast was in far worse condition than the West,
and thus he made radical changes to the Brotherhood doctrine. The first step
was to eradicate the slavers of the Pitt, after which the contingent
continued on to the nation's capitol. Once there, the Brotherhood worked
tirelessly to eradicate the Super Mutant threat and help the people of the
Capital Wasteland. A new threat soon challenged them in the form of a
resurgent Enclave, which had relocated to Raven Rock and silently rebuilt
itself into an effective fighting force. In the end, the conflict came down
to a fight over Project Purity.
在２２５４年，兄弟会派遣了一支庞大的队伍，在欧文‧莱恩斯的领导下前往东方。他们
的主要目标便是与过去为了追猎主宰军队而失踪的兄弟会中西部分部进行联系。这支队伍
并没有成功联系到中西部分部，并于最后越过了他们原先的目标，进而前往匹兹堡。就在
抵达时，对长老莱恩斯而言，东部海岸的情况明显比西部更惨。他们的第一步便是清扫于
匹兹堡的奴隶贩子，之后便带着军队前往国家首都。一到那里，兄弟会毫无倦怠地展开铲
除超级变种人威胁的作战，并确保位于首都废土人民的安全。一个新的威胁：新生英克雷
出现并挑战兄弟会。新生英克雷军以渡鸦之岩作为他们的新据点，并于暗中重建他们的军
事武力。这场冲突最后使双方为了净水计画打了一场仗。
By 2287, the Brotherhood is still engaged in the ongoing conflict with the
NCR, but in the East they saw a significant resurgence led by Arthur Maxson.
After establishing themselves in the Capital Wasteland, they sent an
expeditionary force northward in a mission to locate and destroy the
Institute. Using their giant airship, the Prydwen. Over a period of six years
(two to design and four to build), the Brotherhood constructed an airship to
transport a large contingent of troops to the Commonwealth in order to
destroy The Institute and salvage what tech remained once they finished.
Notably, Arthur Maxson himself has led numerous changes to Brotherhood
policy. The Brotherhood hearkens back to its traditional methods of
technology collecting, although it remains trustful of human outsiders and is
still willing to accept wastelanders into their ranks. There is evidence The
West Coast may have also followed suit, due to their overwhelming acceptance
and reverence for Elder Maxson in light of his ideals and namesake.The Brotherhood also has a hardline stance against "abominations" since
Maxson took charge, notably wishing to eradicate the 'Synth menace' and all
super mutant and feral ghouls, sentient ghouls are treated with suspicion,
but far more leniency. It is clear that from the sheer amount of troops and
advanced weaponry that the Brotherhood were victorious against the Enclave in
D.C. They have a vast supply of Vertibird aircraft to facilitate the
transport of Brotherhood forces across the Commonwealth. However, there have
been some changes to Brotherhood equipment. The Brotherhood no longer equips
all of its troops in power armor, that right is reserved only for the rank of
Knight and above. Initiates are denied this right until they pass training.
However this is not due to an inability to equip their soldiers but to
maintain flexibility in their military. Their power armor is also far more
advanced than their previous standard issue model, they now equip their
forces with the more advanced T-60 power armor instead of the older T-51 or
T-45s.
在２２８７年，兄弟会仍就与NCR维持着紧张的冲突关系，但于东方在亚瑟‧麦克森的带
领下却有显著的复兴。在首都废土完成建设后，兄弟会派遣远征队至北方，任务目的在于
摧毁学院。兄弟会启用了一艘巨型飞空艇，普利德温号。花了近六年的时间（两年设计、
四年建造），兄弟会建构了一艘飞空艇用以运输大型部队至联邦地带，目的在于击败学院
，并在之后摧毁他们所拥有的科学技术。特别提到，亚瑟‧麦克森本身改变了许多兄弟会
的政策。兄弟会回到了过去传统方式收集科技，但仍受到外人的信任并且持续招募愿意家
入兄弟会的废土居民。有证据指出西岸兄弟会也依循其法，因为他们极度接受且推崇长老
麦克森的理念及名号。自长老亚瑟‧麦克森领导后，兄弟会对这些“令人憎恶的生物”保
持着绝不姑息的态度。他们打算根除“合成人威胁”，而且视所有超级变种人、狂尸鬼以
及有感知的尸鬼为潜在威胁，从不宽容以待。在战胜华盛顿特区的英克雷军后，兄弟会拥
有着充足的部队及军备。他们有大量的飞鸟，可用以加速传送兄弟会的武力至联邦地带。
然而兄弟会的武装仍有部分变化。兄弟会不再给予所有的部队成员配置动力装甲，唯有骑
士阶级之上的成员才能配有，新兵在通过训练以前无法享有这项权利。但这项改动并非因
其无法为所有的士兵提供装备，而是为了维持军队中的弹性调整。兄弟会的动力装甲也较
过去的基本款式更为强化，他们现在着装的是更为先进的T-60动力装甲以取代过去的旧型
T-51或T-45s。
