Red Rocket

Red Rocket was a pre-War company that operated a nation-wide chain of filling stations for automobiles, characteristic for their Raygun Gothic architecture.

Background
The company started its rise in an age when gasoline and diesel were still common fuels. The fossil fuel market crash and the beginning of the Resource Wars in 2052 and the invention of practical fusion energy cells in 2066, Red Rocket expanded rapidly nationwide, offering fusion and coolant refilling services, as an early adopter, though gasoline and diesel continued to be sold throughout the franchise. On the east coast, Red Rockets holds a veritable monopoly on the market for this very reason. Many of its old gas stations were retrofitted with apparatus for maintaining and refilling nuclear engines, sometimes without even removing old warning signs.

Red Rocket was very conscious about their public image, particularly concern for the environment, as well as family friendliness. While customers were treated with care, if any posed any threat to the family friendly image of the company, they were to be eliminated. Employees were expected to make every effort to reduce waste. One element of these efforts was the annual Trashbusters Award given to stores who demonstrated the greatest year-to-year waste reduction. The inspections were skin-deep, however, and unscrupulous franchise operators could win it simply by dumping their waste out of sight.

At an unconfirmed date, Red Rocket had a vault installed underneath their headquarters, also known as Vaultopolis. The vault's location is discovered by the raider, Paula Plumbkin.

Services

 * Red Rocket stations provided refueling services for fossil fuel and later nuclear engines. The latter included refueling the onboard reactors and replacing spent coolant. Coolant was available in at least two varieties: Coolant A ($103.99 per unit) and Coolant C ($113.99 per unit). The smallest stations were little more than an awning with the characteristic rocket and filling pumps delivering fuel and coolant recharges from underground tanks. As time went on and the economic crisis worsened, Red Rocket shifted to robotics, eliminating the need for pump attendants and station staff.
 * Large Red Rocket stations would go beyond the usual vending machines and include complete convenience stores with local and national brands, including Nuka-Cola soft drinks, slushies,, tourist pamphlets, and Grey Tortoise cigarettes. The facilities would also offer car washing services, frequently offered in bundles with refueling, along with fully automated restaurants open 24/7, offering foods like burgers, made from bio-engineered ingredients, incorporating precise proportions and flawlessly seared beef. Unlike small, automated stations, these establishments would allow clients to choose between full service by a station attendant, self service, or automated service.
