Alaskan Pipeline

The Trans-Alaskan Pipeline was an important oil pipeline cutting through Alaska down into the continental United States.

Background
During the Resource Wars, the US established the Anchorage Front Line to protect their pipeline and all of the oil from any outside attack. When the Chinese invaded Alaska in the winter of 2066, the Americans fought back with their new superweapon; power armor, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline was reclaimed. With resources flowing through Canada, strained diplomatic tensions between Canada and the United States becoming problematic, and Canadian forces attacking the pipeline, the country was annexed.

After the Great War, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline was converted into a Brotherhood of Steel prison in Alaska, hidden in a line of pipes.

Appearances
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation Anchorage, but was going to appear in the canceled Fallout Extreme, and was mentioned in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout 3.
