Control Station ENCLAVE



The Oil Rig served as the base for the post- Great War American government and the Enclave. During the course of Fallout 2, the Chosen One must travel there via an oil tanker in order to save his tribe and the previous inhabitants of Vault 13. The Oil Rig also served as the base from which the Enclave and President Richardson were preparing to release a form of the FEV virus into the world's jet streams, thereby preparing the Earth for re-colonization and killing everyone in the process. The Chosen One kills the President and destroys the Oil Rig by deactivating/destroying the coolant systems, overloading the primary reactor and causing a megaton-sized thermonuclear explosion.

External Defenses
Guns connected with naval IFF system - an anti-naval defense and probably air defense. Known naval capable guns were
 * 5 mm JHP dual miniguns at Sierra Army Depot and .223 dual heavy miniguns inside the oil rig, eg. possibly used for close air defense
 * plasma turrets at Navarro or heavy laser turrets in the Vault City.

Emergency Defensive Systems
At least 15 security turrets armed with heavy dual .223 miniguns with 800 pieces of ammunition each were possible to encounter on the known oil rig levels. Possible security turrets status level were Armed Alert, Normal, and Deactivated Maintenance.

Security override options were controlled by the President :
 * Counter Insurgency – in the event of armed rebellion, the Presidential Security keycard allows defensive systems to be turned on all previously loyal, but now threatening, units within an area. Defensive systems were programmed to attack the most dangerous foe first. Operational - Entry levels only.
 * Emergency Defensive System Shutdown – temporarily shuts down active security systems on a level-by-level basis. Shutdown starts deep diagnostic.

Stationed Personnel
All 79 troopers encountered on the oil rig were described as Enclave troopers. All of them were equipped with Power Armor or Advanced Power Armor. Troopers on the oil rig referred to some teams in floating texts - Bravo and Gamma.


 * There was Guard Barracks level on the oil rig where 22 troopers were present, including less experienced squad of troopers, equipped with Power Armors and Gauss weapons only, present at the Guard Barracks bedroom.
 * Guard unit provided security for Test Subject Holding Level probably and 8 troopers were present there.
 * Troopers present on presidential area carried guarding duties also.

During execution committed on “farmers” family at the beginning of September 2241 Secret Service agent Horrigan was accompanied by two the Enclave guards.

Easter Egg
It is rumored that if you have your Science and Speech skills high, you can try repairing computers in the room with electric floor. (Note: it is possible that your Speech skill must be of a higher value than the other non-combat skills.) If you are successful you will obtain the Alien Blaster. (Note: the chances of getting the Alien Blaster are very low.) If you are not that successful, the results may vary. It is reported that one got YK42B Pulse Rifle (needs checking).

Appearances in Games
The Oil Rig appears at the very end of Fallout 2 (and in a loading screen, shown to the right).
