Control Station ENCLAVE



The Oil Rig served as the base for the post- Great War American government and the Enclave. During the course of Fallout 2, the Chosen One must travel via an oil tanker in order to save his tribe, and the previous inhabitants of Vault 13. The Oil Rig also served as the base from which the Enclave and President Richardson were preparing to release a form of the FEV virus into the world's jet streams, thereby preparing the Earth for re-colonization and killing everyone in the process. The Chosen One kills the President and destroys the Oil Rig by deactivating/destroying the coolant systems, overloading the primary reactor and causing a megaton-sized thermonuclear explosion.

Security override options were controlled by the President :
 * Counter Insurgency – in the event of armed rebellion, Presidential Security keycard allows defensive systems to be turned on all, previously loyal, but now threatening units within an area. Defensive systems were programmed to attack most dangerous foe first. Operational - Entry levels only.
 * Emergency Defensive System Shutdown – temporarily shuts down active security systems on a level by level basis. Shutdown starts deep diagnostic.
