Recon Craft (Fallout 3)



Recon craft is a small alien ship with a disc-shaped rear body used for stealth operations that houses only 1 pilot.

Background
In 2277, a craft named "Theta" went on a mission to Earth, flown by its pilot. The objective of the operation was unknown, but the ship crashed north of Minefield and to the northwest of Greener Pastures Disposal Site in the Capital Wasteland, due to unknown causes, leaving the ship heavily damaged and the pilot dead.

Some time later, it broadcasts a radio signal, the Recon Craft Theta Beacon, and if anyone approaches the ship for inspection, he/she is immediately abducted by the mothership zeta. Shortly after the kidnapping of the Lone Wanderer, Theta was presumably beamed up for repairs by the Mothership Zeta and stored in one of the motherships onboard hangar bays.

By 2281, another recon craft can be located north of Horowitz Farmstead in the Mojave Wasteland (only with the Wild Wasteland trait).

Appearances
Recon crafts can be found in the Alien crash site in Fallout 3 and in the Crashed Alien Ship in Fallout: New Vegas (only with the Wild Wasteland trait).
