Enclave Officer

Enclave Officers are encountered leading squads of Enclave Soldiers through the Capital Wasteland in the year 2277.

Background
To lead their squads in the field, the Enclave often deploys them overseen by an officer.

Quests
While most Enclave officers are simply more targets for your favourite gun, you'll be stopped and questioned by one in The American Dream. With a Speech or Strength check, you can bluff your way past him, but if not, he'll alert Raven Rock's security early.

Effects of player actions
When the player encounters an officer in the Capital Wasteland, they will shoot first and ask no questions later.

Enclave Officers have noticeably more health than Raiders or Talon Company Mercs, with health on par with a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin. Their combat skills are also some of the highest in the game. However, their lack of proper armor means they are relatively easy to take down with any mid-level weapon.

At camps where there are controlled Deathclaws, the officers may let them loose to attack the player.

Appearances
Enclave officers only appear in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
The general appearance of Enclave officers may be inspired by Imperial officers in the Star Wars movies.

Bugs

 * The Enclave officer (as well as the three soldiers he's dropped in with) that "storms" Project Purity during The Waters of Life is friendly to the player, and is armed with a laser pistol, not a plasma pistol.
