SatCom Array NW-05a

SatCom Array NW-05a is a satellite communications array, part of the SatCom arrays in the northwest of the Capital Wasteland in 2277. It is located further west of NN-03d, between Fort Constantine and the MDPL-05 power station.

Background
NW-05a is populated by members of the Talon Company and a female ghoul wastelander.

Layout
The SatCom array's interior opens into a large room with a staircase that leads up to a second floor with a workbench with a bottlecap mine on it. The stairs also lead to a small alcove with a ladder. Climbing the ladder will lead to the satellite dish at the top of the array.

Notable loot

 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual found near a terminal towards the left upon entering at the ground level.
 * A bottlecap mine on top of a workbench inside the upper level.
 * On the wastelander's body are three notes. The two SatCom array coordinates will mark the other two SatCom arrays on the map when used with the computer at the top of the tower. The third holotape will activate the "Highwater-Trousers" orbital weapon platform.
 * Midway to the MDPL-05 power station to the west is a raider wharf with one mini nuke.
 * There is also a Nikola Tesla and You at the raider wharf, on the roof of the boat. Inside the boat is a Stealth Boy.
