ArcJet Systems

ArcJet Systems is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
ArcJet was a small pre-war technology company located in the greater Boston area. They produced electronics and rockets used by the USSA until 2077.

USSA Contracts
ArcJet was able to secure 2 very lucrative contracts from the USSA, one being tne was the deep range transmitter, the other a nuclear-powered rocket commissioned for a trip to Mars. Both projects were completed before 2077, however ArcJet only received payment for the deep range transmitter project as the rocket was not fulfilled prior to the bombings of 2077.

Rocket
ArcJet began developing the rocket even before it had won the USSA contract. This would prove to be a great move, as development was already underway when the contract was won. The company, still small and eager to deliver on its contract, hired a well-respected military engineer to help develop the rocket. Midway through development, and after promising a delivery one year ahead of schedule, the team encountered a problem. The rocket was overweight. After months of work, the weight problem was rectified, and the rocket ready for testing. The rocket successfully passed preliminary tests, however was still in its final stages at the end of the great war.

Press and Controversies
Following an announcement from the USSA, press flooded ArcJet systems looking for information and pictures of the newly developed rocket. One incident left a reporter, who had penetrated ArcJet security, inside the test chamber during a practice burn. The reporter was incinerated, and the ashes were disposed of by the Company's security manager. The incident was never disclosed to the public.

Security
Arcjet became increasingly paranoid in the days leading to the Great War. Turret and surveillance systems were employed to keep information safe. Passcards emitting low amounts of radiation allowed employees with the proper authorization to move freely about the complex, without fear of turret attacks. Passwords were automatically changed by the main system, and sent via email to ArcJet employees.

Layout
A low building with massive internal damage, the building is a maze of collapsed floors and ceilings. Beneath the main building is a rocket engine test chamber. The rocket strangely still functional and can be used to cook your enemies to a crisp.

Notable loot

 * Stealth Boy – First floor, past a locked door (novice) in the south-east corner (middle section). To the right a collapsed floor leads up to the second floor and also to a room that's still on the first floor; the Stealth Boy is in a shelf in the corner.
 * Overdue book – There are two; one is sitting on the large table in the meeting room, which is located behind a closed door off the hallway where you encounter three machine gun turrets attached to the ceiling. The other is in ArcJet Engine Core, in the room just behind the control room for the XMB Rocket. It is located in a Large Toolbox protected by a Novice level Lock.
 * Tesla Science Magazine – Second floor, next to the CEO's terminal. You have to pass the same locked door as for the Stealth Boy but turn left and go up the stairs.
 * Deep range transmitter – Quest item for Call to Arms, located on a Synth in the upper floor control room after using the elevator in the rocket test area.
 * Junk Jet – Rocket test area, in the control room at the base of the rocket, on a bench beside a holotape from the creator.
 * Fat Man (Fallout 4) - Sitting on a desk inside the north room (Marked with a '2' on the right side of the door) in the ArcJet Engine Core section. NOTE: This can only be accessed going down from the top of the stairwell.
