  • Swallow Hills is a small town in California, utilized as a shelter for the inhabitants of the wasteland in the post-war world following the nuclear destruction of the United States of America. Originally constructed as both a showcase town and pleasure village, a "thanks" of sorts for returning United States Armed Forces in the later 1940s at the end of the Second World War, though the Department of Defense did place a large base on the outskirts of town as a way of making the most of it's otherwise altruistic investment, it would go on to form a close-knit community of returning soldiers and entrepreneurial civilians, though the latter would end up forming the majority of the populace. Said populace was well into the 400,000 mark by the late 20th century, whereupon the big technological push began, with increasingly available nuclear-powered technology became widely available and usable, giving the town an almost futuristic and utopian feel, precisely the atmosphere that those in charge of Swallow Hills wished to accrue. This was very much the case on the eve of the Great War, where the inhabitants either fled to the safety of the nearby Vault 42, reached improvised shelter or perished in the nuclear holocaust, their technological gains doing nothing to prevent the destruction that ravaged the town. Those that remained would form the thin vestiges of life on the surface following atomic annihilation.
