Enclave Officer

Enclave Officers are encountered leading squads of Enclave Soldiers through the Capital Wasteland in the year 2277.

Background
To lead their squads in the field, the Enclave often deploys them overseen by an officer.

Effects of player actions
In Raven Rock base, there is an officer that can be talked with. When the player encounters an officer in the Capital Wasteland, they will shoot first and ask no questions later.

Enclave Officers have noticeably more health than Raiders or Talon Company Mercs, with health on par with a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin. Their combat skills are also some of the highest in the game. However, their lack of proper armor means they are relatively easy to take down with any mid-level weapon.

At camps where there are controlled Deathclaws, the officers may let them loose to attack the player.

While they are "officers" their death in-game doesn't seem to affect the Enclave Soldiers they are with.

Appearances
Enclave officers only appear in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
The general appearance of Enclave officers may be inspired by Imperial officers in the Star Wars movies.

Bugs

 * If you pickpocket the Deathclaw Cage Key from an Officer, they can still go and open the cage without it. (found on 360)
 * There appears to be a friendly officer in Project Purity which can be interacted with, but he has nothing to say and the only response to him is "See you later"
