Libertalia

Libertalia is a raider encampment in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
Some enterprising wastelanders gathered a variety of rusting ships, docks, and debris and fashioned a ship's graveyard into a stronghold.

After the death of General Becker in 2282, and as the Minutemen started to fray, a detachment led by James Wire broke off and cleared the mutants out of this location. They tried their hand at mercenary work, but they were routinely taken advantage of. Initially, Wire tried to enforce the Minutemen way of helping other settlers in exchange for caps and food, but after a while, their food supplies reached dangerous lows.

Eventually, they started to practice raiding to keep from starving, with two of Wire's best men attacking caravans. After Wire discovered the actions of his men, he had them executed. Eventually, Wire himself gave in to the raider lifestyle after caravans repeatedly stiffed his men on their escort jobs. Afterward, Wire seemed to begrudgingly accept that he had to do what it took for him and his men to survive, but notes in his last terminal entry that his former leaders would be sickened by his actions and that he no longer felt like making entries. By 2283, the gang was being paid off by Bunker Hill to not attack them. Libertalia would eventually fall under the control of Gabriel, a synth, at the start of the quest Synth Retention.

Layout
Libertalia is a raider settlement composed of destroyed watercraft linked by wooden bridges. At its center is a capsized supertanker with its stern pointing straight up, upon which a multi-level barracks stronghold has been built. The stronghold's uppermost level - where a Master-level terminal guards an otherwise inaccessible safe - may be reached via a ladder in the captain's cabin entered from the top level of the barracks.

There is a cooking station on the southwestern land access to Libertalia, next to a beached ship. A weapons workbench is in the middle of the map, on top of the red ship northeast of the disposal barge. An armor workbench is on the second floor of the main barracks, and a chemistry station is one level above the armor workbench.

Notable loot

 * U.S. Covert Operations Manual issue #7 - By the red chair and oil lamp on an exposed overlook in the main barracks, on the level below the entrance to the captain's cabin, the same level as the white metal cabin.
 * Le Fusil Terribles - A unique combat shotgun with the added effect of +25% damage and limb damage, but with more recoil. It can be found on a wooden crate partially hidden beneath a life preserver in the captain's cabin.
 * Mini nuke - In the captain's cabin in the small room to the right as the player character enters, under the bottom level of a shelf next to the ladder to the roof.
 * Libertalia password - Given by Gabriel during Synth Retention. Provides access to the terminal on the ship.

Companion comments
When at this location companions make comments, which are activated at two locations: at the top of the main structure and in another location. X6-88 does not provide any unique comments.

Appearances
Libertalia appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * After killing Wire and not fast-traveling away but instead returning to the rest of the stronghold through the captain's cabin, the replacement raider in raider power armor may immediately spawn and notice the Sole Survivor.
 * When looking at the title of the U.S. Covert Operations Manual on the table, it appears to be the "Getting the Drop on Communists" issue, but is, in fact, the "Bushes, Boxes, and Beehives Camouflage Special" issue.
