The failing relations were also fueled by internal dissent. The imperialist project of President Aaron Kimball rapidly chilled relations. In 2273, a contingent of the Followers under Julie Farkas moved into the Mojave, assisting the Republic's forces. Trouble began with the beginning of the Mojave Campaign. Cooperation between the Followers and the NCR prospered. Д«ut for a time, everything seemed to be in order. That year was when the fateful expedition of Edward Sallow was sent to the Grand Canyon, irreversibly starting a chain of events that would lead to the emergence of the Legion. By 2246, the Followers had enough resources and influence to send out scholars on expeditions to gather knowledge, including information on tribal dialects. Staffed and maintained by the Followers, the school would offer courses on a non-profit basis to anyone willing to learn. The Followers focused on their goals and eventually, the Boneyard became the first known place in the wasteland to boast a University. The influx of knowledge and education helped solidify a strong relationship. When the New California Republic formed, the fledgling nation-state joined forces with the Followers. The Followers gradually established control over the Boneyard, as a center of higher learning and research. The destruction of the Master by the Vault Dweller removed the only clear obstacle in the way of Follower expansion. Nicole put the Followers on a warpath, dedicated to cutting the threat short. Spies sent out by Nicole brought back disturbing news, including reports of nightkin and Talius, a survivor of the vats who did not turn into a super mutant. The emergence of the Children of the Cathedral, another ostensibly peace-minded cult, raised more than a few eyebrows among the Followers. Indeed, their focus on preserving knowledge, with emphasis on agriculture and medicine, had already manifested by this period and laid the foundation for their future presence. Some believed their peaceful ways were not cut out for this world: they were allegedly poor combatants and knew nothing of the 'real world.' Of course, their survival and expansion proves this notion to be simply untrue. Widely known, they were considered a little strange, but generally harmless.

Д«y 2161, the Followers moved into and salvaged a library in the Boneyard. The death of her parents motivated Nicole to establish the Followers of the Apocalypse, to educate the wastelanders and spread knowledge so that another Great War may never happen and the paths leading to it would remain abandoned.

During the trip, however, her parents were killed by marauders. The first steps towards the formal establishment of the Followers happened in the 22nd century, when sickness was spreading among the settlement's inhabitants, leading the parents of Nicole to gather the survivors and move north. The group developed a purpose in educating humanity about the horrors of the Great War, so not to repeat such atrocities again. After exiting their Vaults, harsh life taught these vault dwellers the folly of war and conflict. Originally, the Followers of the Apocalypse were a secular tribe formed in the outskirts of Dayglow, the only remaining town near the Glow, spreading outward towards the Boneyard. Often times they will be seen with hired guards adding much-needed protection and firepower to their organization.

Although pacifists by nature, the Followers will not hesitate to defend themselves against attackers and will take up arms against those who threaten their ideals. The Followers of the Apocalypse readily assist those who require aid and welcome anyone who wishes to join their ranks, including former members of the Enclave, Brotherhood of Steel, or just about any other faction. Those in positions of power often regard them as seditious anarchists though such accusations are not entirely without truth, the organization as a whole has no interest in seizing power. Wherever they go, the Followers seek to provide services to those in need, namely medical care and agricultural instruction. One-time allies of the New California Republic, they have since parted ways due to disagreements over NCR foreign policy.ДЇorgoing preaching in favor of humanitarianism, the Followers are generally welcomed by the inhabitants of the wasteland. Followers focus on providing education and medical services to those in need, as well as furthering research in non-military areas. The Followers of the Apocalypse, or simply the Followers, are a humanitarian organization originating in New California.
