+  description: Leonard Petrovich, a formidable presence and a testament to the horrors of the wasteland, stands tall despite his ghoulified appearance. His once handsome features distorted by radiation, his skin peeling and mottled, Leonard commands attention with an undeniable air of authority. Though his once-chiseled features are now marred by the physical toll of his transformation, his piercing blue eyes shine with an unwavering intensity. He often wears a tailored charcoal gray suit, a stark contrast against his decaying flesh, a reminder of his aristocratic heritage and corporate success. Leonard's charismatic and jovial nature often puts others at ease, but when he enters the negotiation room, tension fills the air and his joviality gives way to a steely seriousness, revealing the depths of his calculated determination and commanding influence.

 Vault 26, commissioned by pre-war energy giants like Poseidon Energy, Red Rocket, and Womb-ee's, was secretly designed by Vault-Tec to fail as an act of spite against the energy companies. Intended as a "luxury" Vault, it experienced a brief period of opulence before its air filters malfunctioned days after the Nuclear Armageddon, flooding the Vault with the toxic outside atmosphere. The rigged vault door ensured no escape after life support failure, leading to pandemonium and infighting among residents. Most succumbed to radiation sickness, while a few, including Leonard Petrovich, survived as ghouls. Months later, the survivors hacked their way out and, having reclaimed pre-war energy sources, destroyed the Vault on the fifth anniversary of the Great War. They erected a symbol of their resilience, a massive oil derrick, in the Energy Corridor west of Houston, marking the rise of the Oil Barons as a dominant regional power.

 ### Rise of the Lone Star Republic
+**Main Article: [Tension with the Oil Barons](lonestarrepublic.md#tension-with-the-oil-barons-2284-)**
+
+As the Lone Star Republic solidified its presence in the Houston region, the Oil Barons played a crucial role in shaping its destiny. Their wealth and influence propelled the rise of the Republic, but as their power waned, tension between the two factions began to brew. 
+
+When the Lone Star Republic began its struggle against the cartels, the Oil Barons realized the potential benefits of supporting this emerging force. They provided financial backing to the Republic's military endeavors, seeing an opportunity to cleanse Houston of the cartels while maintaining their grip on the energy resources. Their financial support ensured that the Republic had the necessary resources to fight the cartels effectively.
+
+However, as the war drew to a close and the Lone Star Republic emerged victorious, the Oil Barons' relationship with the new governing power began to deteriorate. Initially, they believed that their support during the war would guarantee their continued influence over the region. But as the Republic's ambitions grew and its attention turned towards the expansion of its territory and acquisition of resources, discontent began to grow among the Oil Barons.
+
+The tension between the Oil Barons and the Lone Star Republic came to a head during the Lone Star Republic Election of 2285. While the Oil Barons had initially supported and funded the Republic's endeavors, they now saw their influence waning and felt the need to protect their interests. Alexander Sullivan and the Unity Party's focus on unity, diplomacy, and a cooperative approach posed a direct challenge to the Oil Barons' control. The Expansionist Party, led by General Samuel Davis, sought to negotiate better terms with the Oil Barons but still aimed for the Republic's expansion, leaving the Barons wary and concerned about their diminishing influence.
+
+In the aftermath of the election, tensions between the Oil Barons and the Lone Star Republic persisted. The Oil Barons, fearing further encroachment on their power, tightened their control over oil and nuclear energy resources in an attempt to limit the Republic's expansion. This move restricted the Republic's ability to grow, stalling their military ambitions and frustrating their efforts to secure vital resources for their population.
+
+The Lone Star Republic found themselves in a precarious position, in a struggle against a faction that had once supported and financed their rise to power. As the Oil Barons consolidated their hold over energy resources, the Republic faced the challenge of finding alternative energy solutions to break free from the Barons' control.
