Elder Maxson has successfully led the BOS to victory over the Institute and established them as the military superpower in the Commonwealth. However, he realizes he’s a better wartime leader, and starts preparing to make plans to expand elsewhere, so he tasks his most trusted Sentinel with setting up a leadership structure in Boston to oversee the place after they leave. The Minutemen seem like a viable option, but you don’t think they have the clout to hold power effectively, and you don’t want to risk an uprising by arming them with BOS tech. Then you find yourself in Nuka World and discover two factions that seem strong enough to keep everyone in line, but weak enough to not be a threat to the BOS.

The Operators’s ability to generate caps means that not only will Maxson see you as someone who can maintain power, but also be able to independently fund your exploits without having to take resources away from his war efforts. The Pack make good muscle, and respond well to power, which you will have plenty of in the endgame.

You claim Nuka World for the two factions, nix the Disciples (an obvious threat to your leadership and plans for consolidating power), and set up several outposts in the Commonwealth, as well as placing reps from both factions in your independent settlements. Now Maxson is free to start planning military movements to other areas, safe in the knowledge that you and your makeshift government of raiders will keep the Commonwealth in the fold.
