The Ridgers were a tribe exterminated by Edward Sallow and the Blackfoots.
Background[]
The Ridgers were the weakest among the seven tribes at war with the Blackfoot tribe when Edward Sallow was captured. After training the Blackfoot members in warfare, he led them against the Ridgers first. The tribe refused to surrender, so Edward ordered every man, woman, and child killed. He then led the Blackfoot against the Kaibabs, who likewise refused. In response, he took one of the Kaibab envoys back to the Ridgers' village to provide an example of what they were capable of. After this display, the Kaibabs joined the Blackfoot under Sallow's command, pushing forward to conquer other tribes.[1][2]
Appearances[]
The Ridgers are mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Caesar: "Divide et impera - divide and conquer. I led the Blackfoot against the Ridgers, their weakest enemy. When they refused to surrender, I ordered every man, woman, and child killed. When next we surrounded the Kaibabs and they likewise refused... I took one of their envoys to the Ridgers' village and showed him the corpse piles."
