Fort Independence

Fort Independence is the headquarters of the Brotherhood Outcasts in the Capital Wasteland. It is guarded from the outside by Defender Morgan and Protector Casdin. Deep inside you'll find the many technologies the Outcasts have been hording, and many different research logs of their findings. But to be noted, is that if you are cought by any of the outcasts while in their base, you will be seen as a threat and dealt with accordingly. However, after bringing enough of technology items (usualy all the equipment from few enclave encounters), you are able to talk your way into outcast acceptance. This fact doesn't grant you an access to the fort, but stealing a key from Casdin, you will be able to browse the fort freely, including stealing equipment which is not (probably by a bug) karma-bounded.

Outcasts in Fort Independence are vulnerable to a Mesmetron attacks, as well as otcasts randomly encoutered in the Capital Wasteland.

The headquarters is Southwest of Vault 101 and you can receive a trade quest from Protector Casdin to exchange modern technology for miscellaneous items, which provides (after ensuring considerable technology supply) interesting solution for ammo shortage in the game.
