Bradley-Hercules

Satellite Bradley-Hercules is the satellite from which the Enclave (and later the Lone Wanderer) launches Orbital Strikes during the events of Broken Steel.

Diagnostic
During Who Dares Wins, the player can run a diagnostic test on the satellite.

Payload
The satellite's payload consists of eight warhead salvos. The first four salvos were fired during Death From Above, targeted at Liberty Prime, and the other four were launched during Who Dares Wins, at either the Mobile Base Crawler or the Citadel, depending on the player's choice. The payload can be checked during Who Dares Wins.

Possible Targets
The satellite has five target options available, but due to problems with the propulsion system, only two (the first and the last) are available.

See Who Dares Wins for the consequences of your choice.

Variants

 * Howitzer, a traditional ground based artillery weapon firing explosive shells over extremely long distances.
 * Archimedes II, an orbital energy weapon used in much the same way as artillery.

Appearances
is mentioned in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel, in the terminal from which the player has to launch an Orbital Strike.

Behind the scenes
The satellite is a reference to the 1979 film Meteor in which the US has an orbital nuclear launch platform called Hercules which was designed by a Doctor Bradley.
