Westside militia

The Westside militia is a military group formed by Westside citizens to defend their homes and territory. It appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
In response to the threats to Westside, the residents organized themselves into a loose militia and created an impressive, two-tier approach to defending the gates that leads into Westside. Although suspicious of strangers, they are not immediately hostile, with the obvious exceptions of the Scorpions and the Fiends.

The Scorpions are considered a minor nuisance, known mostly for mercenary work, selling chems and getting slaughtered by the main threat to the region, the Fiends. The Fiends often harass and attempt to raid the settlement, but with the NCRA actively – although only partially focused on – eradicating them as a threat, Westside has experienced a reprieve from them.

Technology
The equipment of militia personnel is comprised of simple ballistic small arms and leather armor. They are also capable of designing and constructing defenses out of scrap material.

Appearances
The Westside Militia appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
