SatCom Array NW-07c

SatCom Array NW-07c is a satellite array, part of the SatCom Array in the Capital Wasteland.

Location
This array can be found in the far northwestern edge of the Capital Wasteland. It is due west (and across the river) from the Deathclaw Sanctuary, and northwest of the Abandoned Car Fort.

Enemies
It is populated by several Enclave Scientists on the inside and a few Enclave Soldiers, including an Enclave Officer. The scientists look like they've been rounding up Wastelanders for experimentation (also can have sentry bot spawn at higher levels). If you eliminate the threat inside the satellite, then return later, the enemies do not respawn INSIDE the satellite but the wastelanders will! They will be up walking around and telling you to leave them alone like all other wastelanders.

Upon entering you will notice a corpse pile comprised of several dead Ghoul Wastelanders. It appears the Enclave massacred them. At other Enclave camps throughout the Wasteland you may notice Enclave Soldiers torching Ghouls, both feral and friendly.

It is also possible that the ghoul wastelanders, upon entering and leaving, may somehow resurrect and begin walking around the Array and may possibly attack the occupying Enclave. They will even sit down and talk amongst each other, though they won't talk to you. Attacking any of the ghouls will not make any of the others hostile toward you at all. ("Better him than me.")

If visited before completing the Waters of Life main quest, then the area should contain a scavenger. At higher levels, you may encounter Talon Company mercenaries.

It is also possible to have the area inhabited by Raiders. You will notice this by the Raider graffiti on the towers

Nearby Points of Interest

 * An Internment Truck is located on the highway east of the tower. It contains a copy of Pugilism Illustrated among various other loot.
 * On the eastern most ruined highway there is a truck which explodes as you approach as a scientist blows himself up. The scientist is / was carrying a Big Book of Science and other goodies. The truck has further loot and a bed to recover in.
 * Directly under this bridge is a Mirelurk habitat. There are usually 2 Mirelurk's, 2 Mirelurk Hunters and a Mirelurk King. This could be troublesome if you've wandered into them while wondering around the wasteland. However, you can easily take them out by sniping them on top of the highway. They will not notice you until you fire, but even when you do fire, they just run back and forth making easy prey. However, the Mirelurk King can still shoot his projectiles at you.
 * Further down the highway away from the SatCom Array is an Enclave checkpoint. Upon first approaching the checkpoint you get to see firsthand what the Enclave thinks of ghoul (or normal) citizens.
 * There is a Scavenger living on the ridge just above the entrance to SatCom Array NW-07c, using the fallen down dish as a house. The scavenger can get into a fight with the Enclave units and so may be found dead between the tower and the fallen dish.
 * Two Enclave Vertibirds can be seen flying over the Satcom as you reach the top of the tower after completing the Waters of Life quest.
 * At this time there does not appear to be any way to enter the Southwestern most structure in this immediate area nor does it appear to be occupied.
