General Chase

General Constantine Chase was a pre-War U.S. Army General, most notable for being the commander of the Anchorage Reclamation, a military operation that repelled Chinese forces from Alaska in January of 2077, and is first encountered in the year 2277 in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation.

Background
A four-star general in charge of the military assault on Anchorage, Chase is gruff, determined, and a touch over the top with the politics of the day. He is constantly wary of "those Commie Bastards!" and is overtly paranoid that they are up to all sorts of nefarious activities. He is your gallant leader. Talking back to an officer of this rank isn't likely to be tolerated.

Born on November 16, 2027, Chase was a very competent military officer, as evident by his successful completion of the Alaska campaign, but his personality was highly controversial. The General was responsible for commissioning the Liberty Prime project, as a solution to the Chinese problem in Anchorage, despite reports from RobCo and General Atomics researchers that such a combat robot was simply not feasible. Another one of his accomplishments is the making and distribution of the drug Psycho during the war to soldiers with his pharmaceutical company "General Chase R&D".

Furthermore, after January 2077, it seems he became increasingly arrogant and self-absorbed, to the point of personally overseeing the VSS project responsible for creating the Anchorage simulation, making alterations and demands that resulted in the simulation eventually becoming completely detached from what actually happened in Anchorage.

Chase was also responsible for green lighting the unofficial implementation of a military Chinese invasion training protocol in Vault 112's Tranquility Lane simulation, at the request of Stanislaus Braun (officially, the request was denied).

According to the ribbons on the general's uniform, he was the recipient of the: defense distinguished service medal, army distinguished service cross, army distinguished service medal, silver star, legion of merit, joint service commendation medal, army commendation medal, Antarctica service medal, Armed Forces, expeditionary medal, gold lifesaving medal, and Armed Forces reserve medal.
