'''Junktown''' is one of the smaller towns in southern California. It is located north of [[the Hub]].

== History ==

It was founded soon after the War by a soldier called [[Darkwater Killian]] that his grandfather founded Junktown. Instead of the ruins of an old town, he thought it would be better to begin from the ground up. The town mostly lives out of trading and has a reputation of open hospitality.

Around 2161, the mayor of Junktown was [[Killian Darkwater]], grandson of the town's founder, who also ran [[Darkwaters]] General Store. Another big player in the town was [[Gizmo]], a big-time crook and casino owner. While [[Gizmo's casino]] brought a lot of tourists and money into the town, problems also came with it. Other important places in Junktown at that time included [[Crash-House Inn]], home to the [[Skulz]] and the [[Skum Pitt]], a bar owned by [[Neal]]. [[Doc Morbid]] was the town's doctor. [[Tycho]], a Wasteland Ranger, also resided in Junktown for a while at that time.

In 2161, Lars headed the guards in Junktown, working for Killian Darkwater. The gates were guarded by Kalnor. They also had a jail, which was guarded by Andrew. The guards were aware of the illegal activities of Gizmo and the Skulz, but they didn't want to act without proper evidence.

Gizmo hired a man to assassinate Killian, in order to gain full control over the town. It is not explicitly stated in the Fallout 2 manual which side the Vault Dweller sided with, as it alludes to both Killian and Gizmo.

== Description ==
[[File:Junktown entrance.jpg|thumb|The main entrance of Junktown.]]

As the name suggests, it was built after the [[Great War]] out of random pieces of junk, mostly of broken cars. Although it is a small community there are many activities in this town. Important places in Junktown are the ''Crash-House Hotel'', the ''Skum Pitt'', a bar owned by [[Neal of the Skum Pitt|Neal]], ''Darkwaters'', a general store owned by [[Jeremiah]] and the hospital nearby the entrance with [[Doc Larrikin]] as the town's doctor. Also there's [[Earl the Base Seller|Earl]], a well known scout who sells bases to new factions. Also you can find some interesting people there who offer several services.

Wearing weapons in town was not permitted, but this rule is changed. The Guards try to keep this place clean and won't allow troublemakers to enter their town. Beside for the [[NCR]] and [[Vault City]], Junktown is one of the safest places within the wasteland. The guards were used to close the gates for protection. The gates were open from 07:00 to 22:00, but this is no more the case, as Junktown is open 24 hours now.
