Civil War of Circuit Falls

The Civil War of Circuit Falls was a conflict that began shortly after The Atomic Eclipse of 1964 in the city of Circuit Falls (then called "Circle Falls.") shortly after the bombs dropped, Circle Falls (at the time, believed to be the only surviving city in the world) the hierarchy of the city declared martial law, inciting riots and anarchy. The city split into two factions, one called "The Resistance" and the other declaring itself "The Order." The war began in 1969 and ended in 1984, lasting fifteen years. After losing critical territories and public support, The Order withdrew it's forces and retreated from the city altogether. Many of the remaining members of The Order would either die or devolve into Wastelanders.
