Federation Crash Site

The Federation Crash Site is a special encounter in Fallout 2, consisting of a shuttlecraft (christened the USS Torres) half buried in the dirt and three dead guys, wearing strange red uniforms you've never before seen and dead from dehydration. They also carry futuristic-looking hypodermics, which are essentially super stimpaks that are free from the HP-loss-after-time side effect.

The whole thing is, of course, a reference to Star Trek. The shuttle is virtually identical in design to those of the Enterprise, and the redshirts are the (in)famously ill-fated characters introduced simply to get killed by the episode's monster within five minutes of beaming down.

The name ¨Torres¨ is a reference to a later Star Trek series: ¨Star Trek Voyager¨, in which one of the crewmembers' name is Be'leanna Torres.
