The Prydwen (Brotherhood of Steel) Faction Bases

Description

Born after the defeat of the Enclave in 2277, the Prydwen was designed and constructed by the Brotherhood of Steel over several years, launching its maiden voyage in 2282. Named by Elder Maxson, it served various roles, including aerial advantage and command center, before being redeployed to the Commonwealth in 2287 in response to Institute threats. Weighing 40,000 tons, the Prydwen is a rigid-frame dirigible utilizing hydrogen as a lifting gas. Its propulsion is powered by a nuclear fusion plant and features heavy armor for protection.

Layout

Divided into flight deck, command deck, main deck, and forecastle, with various compartments serving different functions.
The flight deck accommodates Vertibird docking, while the command deck houses the bridge and observation room.
The main deck hosts crew quarters, infirmary, power armor bays, and research facilities, while the forecastle provides a sharpshooter’s stowage.

Inhabitants

Notable inhabitants include Elder Maxson, Knight-Captain Cade, Lancer-Captain Kells, Proctor Ingram, Proctor Quinlan, and Proctor Teagan.
