Shady Sands

Shady Sands is the most populated city in FOnline: 2238. It is the capital of the New California Republic state. Saying that it is the largest city would be wrong, since other cities like San Francisco or the Hub provide equal services and are as large as the New California Republic's capital. However, Shady Sands is known for being populated - especially the entrance of the town - which attracts even more population over time.

History

Shady Sands was a small town built by the survivors of the early-opened Vault 15. Villagers of Shady Sands were smart enough to build an army, and to develop their town. Later on, the New California Republic was created, with both police and military forces. Its great resources are coming from its large brahmin herds, and from the caravans that travel across the Republic. Directed by the president Tandi for dozens of years, Shady Sands is still expanding. Well-driven and safe, this city can only grow stronger.

Description

The main entrance of NCR, a populated and living town.

In Fallout 2, NCR is one of the biggest cities. The city is known to have over 3000 inhabitant in the original Fallout game, and this population can be compared to FOnline's one: Thanks to various features, NCR is one of the most crowded meeting place in the FOnline world. As it is a guarded city, wandering around in the town is quite safe. Players are able to trade safely and to talk to many NPC that can give them out quests, profession levels or provide other services (Slavery, bank, etc, see below).

You can also take there your mutant or ghoul merc, as they're able to enter the city.

Weapons or drugs are not allowed in the inside city and the guards know no mercy in these cases.
