#The Jackals

The hunters in various universes

Tehee.

Seriously though. I agree that Honest Hearts could have been done better it isn’t a stretch to have tribes in the Pre-War.

The Khans of Fallout 1, the tribes in Fallout 2, the Tribals of Point Lookout, and the Vipers, Great Khans, Zion Tribes, Jackals, and Scorpions of New Vegas aren’t far from reality.

So where was the Red Hands raiding territory? And how did they interact with the Fiends, Khans, Vipers and Jackals?

For some background: Cal is from San Antonio, Texas, originally. I imagine sea levels would rise along the coastal prairies, possibly submerging Houston (or parts of it—city on stilts kinda thing), and Cal spent his youth as a pirate in the gulf and raiding along the gulf coastal plains following the I35 and I10. He'd meet Jovita, and they'd strike out on their own, establishing the Red Hands as they moved west, following the I10 to El Paso. They'd raid smaller settlements and caravans or do some brahmin rustling on drives closer to major cities where the markets would be.

As the gang grew and as they approached/entered Legion territory, their notoriety swelled since raiding (well, from non-legionnaires, anyway) was virtually unheard of in Caesar's Empire, and they were obliged to push west into the Mojave where pickings were easier. They raided in the northwest San Bernardino county area until Lanius caught up with them, and we know how that went....

After Lanius, Cal intends to rebuild the gang and recruits any Jackals, Vipers, and Powder Gangers who are willing to join him. He learns about the Platinum Chip from some of his contacts in Vegas and sees it as an opportunity to gain a foothold in the north, in Fiend territory.

I had the idea of him usurping the position & taking the base of another raider leader around Vegas, and originally was going to have that be another oc gang, but Motor-Runner/Vault 3 fit in nicely with what I had in mind. Haven't worked out all the details yet, but basically, Motor-Runner dies, and any Fiends willing to accept the change in management can join the Red Hands.

Once he deals with Benny and discovers the true value of the Chip, Cal himself uses the Lucky 38 as a secondary base with the Red Hands operating out of Vault 3.

Cal would want to work with the Khans as well, and since the Red Hands don't involve themselves in any significant capacity in the chem trade, they won't end up stepping on each other's toes too much. Cal convinces Papa Khan to ally with him rather than the Legion, and post Hoover Dam, they can send the NCR packing.

the great khans would probably find the way jackals deal with elders who cant keep up with the group or do much work anymore super fucked up. best case scenario if these ancient jackals with failing health can still do anything for the followers they get abandoned at the nearest outpost but if not they get to pick where they die, maybe even get a last meal out of their family then left behind. worst case scenario the family is doing bad and a lot of members are sick so they end up being traded to the vipers as snake food for medicine.
