Quincy Ruins Camps (Large)

Background / History

History:
Quincy, once a significant city in Massachusetts, held historical importance as the hometown of notable figures such as John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and John Hancock. Before the Great War, a contentious zoning plan resulted in the construction of an elevated interstate highway above the city’s main street. Post-war, Quincy’s ruins were resettled, thriving as a community with trade relations with other Commonwealth settlements. However, this prosperity attracted the attention of the Gunners, leading to conflict.

Quincy Massacre:
Mama Murphy’s precognitive abilities foresaw an impending Gunner assault on Quincy. Mayor Jackson, heeding her warning, sought aid from the Commonwealth Minutemen. Colonel Ezra Hollis led a Minutemen detachment to Quincy, successfully repelling the Gunner advance initially. However, lacking reinforcements, the Minutemen faced defeat. Clint, a former Minuteman turned Gunner, orchestrated a devastating assault on Quincy, resulting in the Quincy Massacre. Survivors, including Preston Garvey, fled, marking the downfall of the Minutemen in the region.

Gunner Control:
After the massacre, Clint assumed command of Quincy under Gunner control. The Gunners established a camp on the freeway overpass, ensuring strategic advantage. Despite internal challenges, such as troop disorderliness, Clint aimed to expand Gunner influence, targeting nearby locations like the Atom Cats garage.

Layout

The Quincy ruins comprise a walled-off fortified settlement and a Gunner camp on the elevated freeway overpass. The settlement’s structures include a church, apartments, a diner, and a pharmacy, among others. Access to the overpass is facilitated by rooftop walkways and collapsed structures. Notable locations within Quincy include Fentons Food Stuffs, Guns Guns Guns, and the Peabody house.
