This faction became rather popular and became a very large faction stretching across the West Coast, the Midwest, and the East Coast. In the Fallout TV show, this faction went to war with a California-based faction in the 2250s over technology control, rising tensions, etc., devastating said faction.
The Brotherhood of Steel
This faction is a ruthless, highly-organized faction of mercenaries with a militarized, well-equipped army causing terror in the Commonwealth. Although this faction is similar to raiders, they have key differences such as having well-trained soldiers, access to power armor, and occupy important locations like GNN Plaza and Quincy. They're infamous for forced conscription, taking any contract, and being a thorn in the side of the Minutemen.
The Gunners
This faction was founded in 2247 by Edward Sallow and Joshua Graham seeking to conquer the Mojave Wasteland. They follow the ideas, principles, practices, and tactics of the Roman Empire with Edward Sallow calling himself, "Caesar" after uniting various tribes in the Grand Canyon and aims for a new "Pax Romana" by creating a massive empire in the Mojave via violent conquest.

Followers of the Apocalypse
Founded in 2189 by Aradesh in California, this democratic faction seeks to restore pre-war civilization. They were actually arguablly the most progressive faction giving rights to mutants, banning slavery, having elections, etc. At their fullest extent, this faction consisted of parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, Oreogn, and Mexico.
The New California Republic
Originally descendants of dwellers of Vault 34, this faction is insanely xenophobic and isolationist and resides at the Nellis Air Force Base. The faction emerged around 2231 and is entirely self-sustaining and hostile to all outsiders, viewing them as savages.
The Boomers
A secret faction in the East Coast, one of their main beliefs is that the man-made "synth" race deserves rights and freedom. Their secret headquarters is located at Old North Church in Boston, MA.

Church of the Children of Atom
Located throughoute the US, this faction was created by pre-war government officials, politicians, and others and claims to be the real continuation of the pre-war US government.

Two major presidents of this faction include John Henry Eden and Dick Richardson.
