Fort Wayne Enclave

''"Now, we are all sons of bitches." -Kenneth Bainbridge''

History of the Fort Wayne Enclave
During the assault on the Jefferson Memorial by Brotherhood forces and Liberty Prime, Major Tomas Fredrich had gathered the 5th, 9th, and 12th Enclave Auxiliary Unit(s) and left through theft of 10 Vertibirds, with the Auxiliaries numbering some 100 packing themselves tightly into the seats of the Vertibirds before lifting off eastward away from Brotherhood forces. After hours of travelling the remaining Enclave Auxiliaries landed in Fort Wayne to little resistance, quickly spreading through the Base, clearing out any ghouls occupying the fort and entrenching in their positions. As they preformed a quick sweep, they realized that in a small bunker in the near center of the fort, there was a caved in stairway, and as they searched through terminals they figured that it was a large underground supply depot, having closed off from a self destruct sequence to stop any foreigners or civilians from gaining access to it. After a few hours of excavation, the Auxiliaries finally got through, travelling down the stairway into the supply depot.

What they found in the Supply depot was astounding, boxes and boxes of perfectly preserved food, back up fusion generators, fuel for days, dozens of fusion cores, more than enough weapons, piles of ammunition and best of all, a storage room of Power Armor labeled "X-01", which was heavily similar to their old Advanced Power Armor, allowing for them to use its parts to fix their armor, and fit their Auxiliaries with Power Armor. After a few weeks of training they finally had a new Power Armor Corp. With their newly fitted corp, the new Fort Wayne Enclave began reorganizing with nearby remnants through patrols and radio propaganda, slowly reorganizing the few remnants in New Haven. As they reorganized in the ruins of New Haven, they prepared a full scale offensive into the town, with entire battle plans being written up to fully occupy the town just west of Fort Wayne.

The Battle of New Haven
After a few weeks of planning, the Fort Wayne Enclave launched a direct offensive through the western streets of the city, directly attacking raider gangs and tribes, with direct occupation occurring in settlements, forcing them under the flag of the Enclave. The large gangs in the city were quickly steamrolled as Enclave Power Armor Corp launched direct assaults into known Raider Encampments and Headquarters, with slavers being rapidly broken in two, with slaves joining in the attack to get revenge on their masters. Almost as quickly as they arrived, they won, as the Vertibirds provided air support, preventing anybody from going on the roadways, and near flattening any established camps outside of buildings. As the route happened, the remaining raiders had one clear, intentional choice, with a southern exit to the town being completely "unoccupied" by Enclave. As raiders rushed through the street, they were surprised when a large troop of Enclave with Stealth Boys appeared at the end of the road, with every building on the side being filled with snipers, and Vertibirds on roofs flying up; It was a massacre as over 164 raiders died, and only 2 Enclave were killed.

Aftermath
With near total occupation of New Haven, the Fort Wayne Enclave began direct occupation of every roadway entering and exiting Fort Wayne and New Haven, clamping down on trade with tax and protecting the city from gangs, with every settlement being dissolved and their occupants going into the town's buildings. Through use of scrapping and wood, the Enclave began a campaign of reconstruction through use of manual labor with hired civilians using Old World cash, backing them through caps at local market level for selling the money.

Reconstruction
Reconstruction took months as the Enclave slowly licked their wounds and rebuilt the town, with the few apartments becoming civilian trade hubs and living quarters, and the malls being turned into mass hospitals and military outposts. Through the tax, trade stagnated, but those who paid gave the civilians and Enclave business and caps, slowly building up a treasury and allowing them to build up their supplies, with the caps they tax usually going back to the traders for the supplies. After the first month they established walls across the entrances and exits of the town, with every small alleyway being walled up, and all roads having gates fully established; after the second month they established scaffolding in the massive holes in buildings, beginning to fill in the holes; And by the 3rd month, they finally filled in the large gapping holes in buildings, with the town and fort becoming large symbols of Pre-war Americana. The mass reconstruction attracted merchants, raiders, and settlers from across the wastes, with the middle being near wiped out during every attack, but there was another group who saw this, another group who, if they were to check it out, would cause a massive detriment, the Brotherhood of Steel.
