Loved by some, hated and feared by others as ruthless fanatics. Hardly any other faction divides opinion among Fallout fans as much as them Brotherhood of Steel.
The brotherhood also plays an important role in Amazon's new Fallout series. One of the main characters, Maximus (Aaron Clifton Moten), is a contender at the start of the series and is deeply impressed when one day a powerful Brotherhood airship floating on its base.
This very airship could now answer one of the most important questions that Fallout fans may have been asking themselves since the release of part four: Which ending is canon?

Fallout 4: We explore a factory occupied by raiders in the hardest mode
After the sighting of the airship in the first episode is under Twitter and Reddit-Users a discussion broke out as to whether this was the case the Prydwen
the Brotherhood's flagship from Fallout 4 acts. They came up with this after some resourceful fans looked at the scenes with the airship in a greatly enlarged format.
Is it you, Prydwen?
On some screenshots is The lettering PRYDWEN can clearly be seen on the side of the ship:

For some fans, this suggests the clear conclusion that only the Brotherhood or Minutemen endings of Fallout 4 are considered canon can be. Because in all other endings (Railroad and Institute) the Prydwen is inevitably destroyed because you have made the Brotherhood your enemy. Therefore, if you join the Railroad or the Institute, they will demand that you destroy the airship.
So if this is actually the Prydwen, that would mean that the Brotherhood survived the end of Fallout 4 alive and the ship still exists nine years later, in 2296. In this case, the Brotherhood would have gained significantly more power after the destruction of the Institute.
However, this would contradict information from the US magazine Vanity Fairwhich reported before the series was released in November that it was another Brotherhood airship named Caswennan. That would be the discussion about that right one
Ending of Fallout still open. And Bethesda would also have room for maneuver in the development of Fallout 5.
Are both correct?
A conciliatory theory would be that both sides are right. How one Reddit user noted, both names come from the legend of the English King Arthur. Both refer to his ship and were used equally.
Other users suspect that the Caswennan is a ship that… from parts of the destroyed Prydwen was built. This would lead to the reverse conclusion that one of the other factions won at the end of Fallout 4. There is still a need for discussion here, even among fans.
What do you all mean? Do you think the airship from the series is the Prydwen? Do you think the discussion about the canon ending of Fallout 4 is over? And which ending would you have wanted to be canonical? Feel free to write it to us in the comments!
