Breakers

The Breakers were a small band of chem traders.

History
The members of the Breakers were previously employed for grunt work mining around Sloan. However, the NCR brought in forced labor at the NCRCF, undercutting Sloan's workers and causing jobs to dry up. With nowhere to go, the workers joined the stream of immigrants going to Freeside, where they joined gangs for protection and security. The largest gang, the Cooking Boys, terrorized and extorted Freeside until Red and the NVPD broke it up. The gang splintered, with the Sloan workers remaining together.

Christening themselves the "Breakers", the workers stepped into the vacuum of the Chem Trade left by the demise of the Cooking Boys and the Syndicate. Their primary customers were NCR Sharecroppers and Freeside squatters.

Strangers Abroad
They hid their stash in the abandoned Reuben Retail in Freeside. A squatter named Sky Piper, believing the store to be empty, made it his own home, resulting in a fight with the Breakers when they returned. Piper booby-trapped the building, forcing the Breakers to head to their other hideout north of Areotech. Red, passing through, investigated the store and freed Piper from the lockdown security.

Red caught Breaker member Ron Walsh checking back on Reuben Retailer. Ron brought Red and company to the Breakers leader, Malc. Red agreed to help Malc earn enough supplies and caps, along with settling earlier established arrangements, so they could make the trip home back to California.

Red helps Winslow finish a repair contract with the Gunners. Donnie, the head chemist, is convinced to end his illegal chem trades and instead work the Followers of Apocalypse to help Freeside. Vince, a ghoul, wants to create a restaurant back home with his love, Jade. Red gives him some recipe ideas. Then Red helps Jade retrieve her arms stash from Jackals in Mountain Shadows Campground.

With all of them ready, Malc bids Red and company farewell as his gang departs back home. Sky makes Reuben Retail his home. Red's faction further secures the New Vegas underbelly.
