Highwater-Trousers

Highwater-Trousers (Registration ID USDOD-21TXH) is the callsign of an orbital nuclear weapon platform launched by the U.S. military before the war.

Characteristics
Highwater-Trousers was discovered by a ghoul scientist at SatCom Array NW-05a - who was attempting to gain control of a pre-War military satellite - in geosynchronous orbit directly above the array. Without a targeting platform, it was only able to drop its payload directly onto the array.

From the SatCom Array's control terminal, it was possible to upload the activation code for the orbiting platform and call in a nuclear strike.

When the Lone Wanderer discovers the control terminal, the orbital platform has a remaining payload of eight micro-nuclear warheads. These missiles appear similar to mini nukes when they detonate, but the blast radius is much larger.

Variants
Bradley-Hercules, an orbital missile platform originally under the control of the Enclave at Adams Air Force Base.

Appearances
Highwater-Trousers is mentioned in Fallout 3.
