Project Phoenix

Project Phoenix was a pre-War Grafton Steel Research and Development project at Grafton Steel Underground to create a civilian power armor able to withstand higher temperatures.

Background
One of the three projects undertaken by Grafton Steel, the goal of Project Phoenix was to increase steel yield from the Grafton Steel plant. In order to accomplish this, taking inspiration from the Garrahan Mining Company's Excavator power armor, a suit of power armor was conceptualized, with the end result being to produce a suit able to be operated under intense heat conditions, allowing users withstand greater temperatures and service machinery.

By the time of the Great War, only the helmet had begun prototyping, with the rest of the armor never started. The helmet remains in Grafton Steel Underground, sealed in a magnetically locked room.

Appearances
Project Phoenix is mentioned only in the Fallout 76 update Wastelanders.
