In 2256, a group of Ghouls who had been driven out of other communities stumbled across the fort. The only major group to try and take up residence in the fort would not do such for over a century and a half after the war.
The presence of these ghouls deterred would-be looters, leaving most of the structures intact, if in poor condition. Others would occasionally wander into the site, making their lairs inside the structures. Save for the odd drifter, its inhabitants consisted only of feral Ghouls, the mutated remnants of either its pre-war forces or those refugees that tried to take haven there. Nuclear winter and radiation sickness culled many of those that remained, and the facility was effectively abandoned by the end of 2078.įort Frost, like many other sits in Minnesota, stood empty for decades after the great war. Attempts to maintain order and command cohesion broke down, with many of the soldiers giving in to looting and desertion. Those that remained were forced to deal with an impossible situation, cut off from their chain of command and swamped by tidal waves of refugees streaming from across the state seeking safe havens. While Fort Frost itself was not struck (either by oversight or accident) the bulk of its forces had simply ceased to exist. Much of that strength would be destroyed in the Great War, vaporised in the atomic explosions that devastated the state. On the morning of October 23, 2077, the bulk of Frost’s forces were deployed across the region, doing their best to try and maintain order in the face of rising chaos. Fort Frost’s operational centenary was cancelled due to fears of an attack, as well as the high portion of its troops in the field. As the situation further deteriorated, its troops were often acting as peacekeepers, doing their best to quell riots caused by shortages. The fort was also essential in helping secure against Canadian insurgents, with its troops deployed numerous times to deal with rebellions or stop smugglers. They were responsible for safeguarding numerous vital locations across the state, such as the Furtney Meat Processing Plant. By 2077, Frost was a central part of the Minnesota State national guard, home to infantry units and their supporting elements.ĭuring the Resource Wars, Frost’s units were called upon to handle numerous duties. Originally just a simple infantry facility, it later added armoured vehicle, robot and even Power Armour facilities, as well as extensive training grounds. The fort grew slowly over time as the forces stationed there increased, both in terms of its overall size and range of capabilities. Its name came not as a reference to the climate rather, it was named in honour of Colonel Franklin Frost, a decorated war veteran from Minnesota.
Fort Frost was established in 1977 as a part of an expansion of the Midwest Commonwealth National Guard.
