Covenant

Covenant is a location and possible settlement in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
Before the Great War, Covenant was built to preserve the lifestyle of homeland America. The town was discovered by a group of people, who've made the village their home. The townspeople are strangely friendly folk, and are responsible for the overall pristine condition of the town's infrastructure, though it is clear that they're hiding something.

Layout
Covenant is a small settlement inhabited by eight people, a Mister Handy named Deezer, and a house cat named Dora. There is a large wall surrounding the whole settlement with multiple heavy machine gun turrets on small wooden platforms. Inside the wall are four houses and a small garden. The houses look incredibly intact, as if they had not been touched by the Great War at all. The Sole Survivor may comment on this by saying that all the buildings look almost pre-War.

There is a workbench in a shack near the garden. Many of the buildings may be locked at first, but the inhabitants will occasionally go in and out the doors of every building and they can then be followed without needing to resort to lockpicking.

Behind the scenes
The SAFE Test, the test to get into Covenant, is actually the G.O.A.T. test from Fallout 3 having all the questions except the last question, but a few have been modified. The usage of the test to screen for synths is a direct reference to the Voight-Kampff test in the film "Blade Runner." In the movie, the test is used to identify Replicants (artificial humans used as machines) that are otherwise indistinguishable from normal humans, much like generation 3 synths. This is one of many references to Blade Runner throughout Fallout 3 and 4.
