Brotherhood Outcast

Brotherhood Outcasts are members of the eponymous faction, operating in the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3.

Background
Outcasts are original Knights and Paladins that came to the Capital Wasteland under the command of Owyn Lyons, but since split from his organization and reformed under Henry Casdin's leadership. They are highly skilled combatants, equipped with high tech weapons and power armor.

To compensate for their low numbers, Outcasts often supplement their squads with reprogrammed combat robots, such as robobrains or sentry bots. Outcast patrols in the Capital Wasteland typically consist of three soldiers, or two soldiers and a combat robot.

Characteristics

 * Outcasts spawn in 3 different ranks, equivalent to the Initiate, Knight, and Paladin ranks of Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel. They are neutral to the player and other non-hostile wastelanders, albeit rather rude. They will engage in combat against hostile Wasteland creatures, raiders, and Enclave soldiers.
 * All unnamed Outcasts are set as evil. Named characters and robots are set as good.
 * All Brotherhood of Steel members are hostile to Brotherhood Outcasts and vice versa. While normally they do not meet, in Broken Steel water caravans can encounter Outcasts, particularly near Vault 101 and Fort Bannister. If Star Paladin Cross is dismissed from the party, she will automatically engage (and slaughter) any Outcasts she meets.

Locations
Brotherhood outcast squads can be found patrolling the Capital Wasteland at random. Their main base of operations is Fort Independence, which is occupied by a small army of Brotherhood outcast soldiers.
