Bradley-Hercules

Satellite Bradley-Hercules is the satellite from which the Enclave (and later the Lone Wanderer) launches Orbital Strikes during the events of Broken Steel.

Diagnostic
During Who Dares Wins, the player can run a diagnostic test on the satellite.

Payload
The satellite's payload consists of eight warhead salvos. A single salvo of 9 missiles was fired during Death From Above, targeted at Liberty Prime, and the remaining four, totaling to 36 missiles, were launched during Who Dares Wins, at either the mobile base crawler or the Citadel, depending on the player's choice. The payload can be checked during Who Dares Wins. The use of the first three salvos is unknown.

Possible Targets
The satellite has five target options available, but due to problems with the propulsion system, only two targets (target 1 and target 5) are available.

See Who Dares Wins for the consequences of your choice.

Variants

 * Highwater-Trousers, an orbital micro nuke missile platform.

Appearances
Bradley-Hercules is mentioned in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel, in the terminal from which the player has to launch an Orbital Strike. The satellite is also mentioned in Fallout 76 at a terminal in the Enclave's Congressional bunker.

Behind the scenes
The satellite is a reference to the 1979 film Meteor in which the US has an orbital nuclear launch platform called Hercules which was designed by a Doctor Bradley.
