Sadly this crap "sort of" started in Tactics, though it was to support the BOS' own interests, and really started in FOBOS though it may only have been Rhombus and some paladins.
I liked the Tactics approach, cus it fits what would happen if these hyper-secluded xenophobes *were* to begin securing their interests above ground: They harass everyone! Mutants, ghouls, gangs, tribals, civilians - it's a game where you play a commander in the "baddie camp", through the whole game - even as you defeat the greater threat, you're only just knocking out a threat to your org., not saving the innocent.
Yep, It worked in Tactics.
The BOS were not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They wanted to build a nation and needed people and resources for that.
