A faction of ordinary Wastelanders dedicated to fighting for the freedom and safety of Synths. Their goal of saving and protecting Synths puts them in conflict with both the Institute (who view their Synths as nothing more than tools) and the Brotherhood of Steel (who believe all Synths must be destroyed as dangerous technology).

*RagtagBandOfMisfits: For the most part, they're just ordinary Wastelanders, without the resources and military might of the Institute or the Brotherhood of Steel. They don't even have the formal combat training that the Minutemen have, although they do have fighters, guns, and the willingness to use them.

For their faults, when encountered out in the Wasteland, the Brotherhood's forces are at least reliably non-hostile towards the player and neutral Wastelanders (so long as you don't antagonize them), and will helpfully fight any Raiders or hostile mutants they come across.
