WHO IS DEADLIEST!

The Brotherhood


The Brotherhood of Steel (BoS) is a quasi-religious organization operating across the ruins of post-war North America, with its roots stemming from the American military and the government-sponsored scientific community from before the Great War. They have proven to be a powerful force, being able to combat and defeat many powerful enemies.

Weapons and Gear
The weapons the Brotherhood used:
 * AEP7 Laser Pistol: The AEP7 laser pistol was put into service to replace the AEP5 model. With a generous battery size, tight shot grouping at range, resilience to extended use, and fairly decent damage output, it is a very good choice for a sidearm and is used extensively in this role by the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave in the Capital Wasteland. By nature of firing a beam projectile, its shots will instantly hit, negating any need to lead the shot. Info


 * Tri-beam Laser Rifle: The tri-beam laser rifle has the appearance of a "sawed-off" laser rifle, missing the tube on the bottom length of the barrel, being rather shorter than other models, and having a new emitter aperture and attached wires. The new emitter fires three laser beams with each shot. It is the main weapon of the New Vegas Brotherhood of Steel. It also uses 3 microfusion cells when fired. Info


 * The Gatling laser is one of the most advanced weapon to date. It is similar to the minigun, however the Gatling laser is actually not a Gatling weapon as the barrels do not rotate when it fires - instead, the barrels fire in a rotating order. However, the barrels do not have to 'wind-up' making the Gatling laser much easier and quicker to use than the minigun. At long range it is actually an incredibly accurate weapon. One can easily take out any threat at a safe distance with a Gatling laser and is a very powerful weapon against targets of every caliber.


 * Gauss Rifle: The scoped Gauss Rifle is an advanced sniper rifle, that uses a series of eleven electromagnetic coils to energize and magnetize a pre-loaded standard projectile round at tremendous speed. The deadliness of the Gauss Rifle is greater than an anti-material sniper rifle. It can only shot one round before reloading but is far more powerful and far more accurate than most rifles. Info


 * Missile launcher: The missile launcher is a shoulder-mounted Explosives weapon. It is heavy but powerful, and can fire several types of missiles. Multiple enemies can be hit with a single shot due to the blast radius of the explosion. Info


 * T-51b Power Armor: The T-51b Powered Infantry Armor is an extremely advanced suit of armor. The armor is fitted with a back-mounted TX-28 MicroFusion Pack which generates an output power of 60,000 Watts to power the HiFlo hydraulic systems built into the frame of the suit. Made of a poly-laminate composite, the outer shell of the T-51b is lightweight and capable of absorbing over 2500 Joules of kinetic impact. The 10-micron-thick silver ablative coating can reflect laser and other radiation emissions without damage to the composite subsurface and the eyeslit for the helmet is made of bullet proof glass to protect the wearer from any projectiles. The armor usually carries enough fuel to last for one hundred years. Info

STAG


STAG is an elite paramilitary police force directed by Commander Cyrus Temple and his subordinate, Kia. It is under the direct command and supervision of the United States Government. STAG has their own, unique arsenal of futuristic weapons and vehicles.

Weapons and Equipments
For the sake of this battle, the weapons used by STAG is at their minimum levels.

STAG Soldiers brought with them:
 * KA1-Kobra: The weapon of choice of the Steelport PD, the KA1-Kobra is a lightweight handgun that relies on a large magazine capacity (12 rounds) and fast rate of fire (as fast as you can pull the trigger. It isn't the most powerful gun but it spouts a tactical flashlight. Info
 * S3X Hammer:the S3X Hammer has higher firepower than most shotguns. However, it fires considerably slower than them, too. It can, however, be fired automatic. It doesn't need reloading but it will overheat really fast and takes a while to cool down. Info
 * Viper Laser Rifle: A highly-advanced weapon, it is a laser rifle, and serves as the primary assault weapon of STAG. By default, the Viper fires somewhat sluggishly, but deals reasonable damage. It isn't very accurate and has a somewhat slow rate of fire (roughly 300 rpm). As an energy weapon of STAG design, the Viper has no need for magazines, though it's necessary to carefully control its fire to avoid excessive heat buildup. If the weapon overheats, it will be rendered inoperative until it cools down.Info
 * McManus 2015: The McManus 2015 is a powerful sniper rifle that can kill most enemies in one hit. It carries around 6 rounds in its magazine and has great accuracy, though is relatively useless in short to mid ranges. Info
 * Annihilator RPG: The Annihilator RPG is a powerful single-shot rocket launcher. It has great accuracy, packs a serous punch and can cause damage to multiple enemies to do to its blast radius.Info
 * STAG Body Armor: STAG's troops wear advanced body armour that can resist bullets and small explosions. It surpasses standard military armor and is flexible enough to move around in.

X-Factors
BoS vs STAG

90 Training 95 While the Brotherhood are well trained and have learned in a tough enviroment, their training is not as formal or advance as STAG's. STAG's training is at par with, if not greater then, US Army soldiers. However, The Techno Cult is not untrained. They know how to use power armor and energy weapons with ease. However, STAG was trained to deal with ANYTHING the gangs of Steelport can throw at them.

93 Accuracy 88 STAG operatives are not the most accurate individuals. They will fire out a barrage of lasers, bullets and explosives at their enemies and kill anyone that gets in their way, including civilians. The Brotherhood, on the other hand, are very accurate. They have to use their ammunition wisely as they don't have a truly unlimited amount. They won't just spray and pray. They aim and fire their weapons for maximum effect.

97 Killer Instinct 86 The Brotherhood will kill anyone that poses a threat to them but are not blood thirsty. They will not fire at random and are willing to listen and aid people that are helpful. They will not cause the death of their members and of civilians. STAG, on the other hand, are more than willing to kill and slaughter anyone they face and do not consider the Civilian Casualties that many of their operations cause.

98 Experience 84 While STAG is an experienced group, they are nowhere near as experienced as the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood of Steel have been existing for over 197 years. They have fought Raiders, Super Mutants, the Enclave and the NCR. No way can STAG, who have only spent their time in Steelport for a couple months, compare to the Brotherhood of Steel.

88 Finesse 97 Brotherhood members are a tough bunch but they are not the most agile. They don't get the proper fitness training to perform tumbles and the like. Their heavy armor doesn't help, either. STAG members are very physically fit. They can tumble and dodge with efficiency.

99 Durability/Armor 88 While able to take punishment and role with it, STAG soldiers are not unstoppable. Enough damage from anything can kill them. Brotherhood Paladins are not invincible either but they sure are closer. Their armor can take far more of a beating and keep going. They are also naturally tough. Living in the Wasteland of Future Earth requires allot of natural strength and toughness to survive.

94 Tactics 86 STAG prefers a "Shock and Awe" kind of approach. They use their advanced technology to obliterate their foes. The Brotherhood of Steel is much more precise. They don't always have the superior technology. They will use what they have carefully and plan out their attacks for maximum damage to their enemies.

Who and What: The Warriors and their Gear

Where: The Location
The Battle Field will be in a city. The buildings will shift from being in great shape to being half destroyed as they jump though large and strangely hard to notice worm holes.

Why: The Reason
Do to strange "worm holes", the city of Steelport has been suffering attacks from strange people and creatures that appear to be from another time and space. STAG operatives are sent to check it out and some of the individuals that appear is a group of Brotherhood of Steel Paladins. STAG are not able to identify them and consider them a threat and attack.

In the Wasteland of the future, a Team of Paladins are sent by the Brotherhood of Steel to check out the appearances and readings of Worm hols that have been spouting up in a large ruined city area. The Paladins unknowingly walk into one and find themselfs in a perfectly intact city. They soon encounter STAG, who appear to be aggressive and the Paladins fight back.
