Enclave

Revision as of 21:51, 6 July 2010

Enclave's main base, the Oil Rig, as seen in Fallout 2.

The Enclave is one of the most powerful organizations in Fallout, if not the most powerful. The Enclave presence was revealed to the world only in year 2242, even if it has done many operations since 2067, mostly since 2236. The Enclave is pretending to still have authority on the wasteland, as it is composed mostly of descendants of pre-war government or elite soldiers. To them, people born outside of the Enclave's bases are inferiors, if not mutants, and need to be eradicated.

History

Enclave troopers in front of a vertibird, as seen in the Fallout 2 introduction movie.

In the pre-war period, the persons considered as the United State's elite were rather for a nuclear war, and actually knew no one would survive to it, except them. During the Great War, while the common men and women were protected in Vaults - that were rather a social experiment - the Enclave members and the government's families went to secret shelters, and one of them was the Poseidon Oil Rig, that would later become the Enclave's main base.

Later, when its forces were strong enough, its soldiers gathered in the Oil Rig and its technology better than anything else in the wasteland, Enclave started to scout the wasteland, to gather slaves for experiment, gather informations and try to seize controls of small areas, like its secondary Navarro base.

Technology

Enclave's technology is the best in the whole wasteland. Its armors are stronger than the Brotherhood of Steel's ones, as it has the powerful Advanced Power Armor, most of the strongest weapons and, of course, the vertibirds, the only flying object in Fallout.

The only problem of Enclave is its manpower, as it sometimes lack of trained soldiers. However, they don't take much casualties, as the armors protect them well, and they don't take too much risks.
