Dayglow, California

2077
When the bombs dropped in San Francisco, it became an atomic wasteland, turning every known resident in the city into a feral ghoul with no sense of what was right and wrong. Also turning every building in the city to shambles of what they once were. With nothing but remnants of what the city was.

2278 - The Battle of Dayglow
After a squad of New California Republic soldiers were trying to scout the ravaged city, now called "Dayglow" as the radiational glow was able to be seen for miles even in broad daylight, they were flanked by the ghouls and held together with stragglers in a makeshift skyscraper that was made through time as a fortress for people through and coming to the city. The five soldiers sent an emergency s.o.s. signal back to Camp McCarran as Chief Hanlon sent three rangers and five soldiers to rescue the soldiers and their straggler civilians. This was when Jacob and Ethan reunited and cleaned the ghouls of Dayglow for a short time as they saved four of the five soldiers and 11 civilians.

2287 - The Second Battle of Dayglow
Nine years after the first battle, Mech-Suit Chase Johnson led a bread-crumb style trail back to Ethan as Jacob had taken a trip elsewhere, and after being led around sent Ethan to Dayglow once more on a quest which entailed that his wife, Destiny Ledford, was there. After realizing she was not and fighting off an army of ghouls with his companions Bill, Caz, Junky, and Tommy. Ethan saved 22 civilians and returned to the Mojave. Leaving Dayglow a remnant of what once was a battlefield.
