The Enclave is a secretive political, scientific, and militaristic organization that is descended directly from members of the pre-War United States government, and claims to be the legally-sanctioned continuation of the government, while also styling themselves and their overall demeanor as such.

The Enclave is comprised of (mostly) ancestral descendants of top ranking officials of the government (most notably, the last standing president of the United States before the Great War and elite members of various branches of the United States' military, as well as a few others such as those who had considerable ties and/or sway with powerful corporations that worked closely with the U.S government that retreated to the Poseidon Energy Oil Rig.

Overview

The Enclave takes pride in being the last known concentrated bastion of pure, unmutated humanity, aside from the unopened vaults, and being the most technologically advanced faction in the wasteland. As a result of such an attitude, the Enclave are incredibly isolationist, never taking in recruits from the outside, this faces them with an even graver shortage of man power than the Brotherhood, however they make up for it with their formidable technology. Because of the effects of radiation and the Forced Evolutionary Virus on the people of the Wasteland, most members of the Enclave generally do not consider them to be completely human anymore, often attacking them on sight.

They, as well as other mutated creatures, like the various generations of super mutants and ghouls, are considered to be abominations that are, at best, to be used as conscripted assets or slaves, and at worst, eradicated so that "true humanity" could take its place as the "real" nation of America.

The government is headed by a President, and, according to the speeches made on Enclave Radio, there is some form of Congress.^[5] The Enclave's scientists continue to research upon improvements in the very latest in armor (e.g. the advanced power armor) and advanced prototype weapon technologies after the war and are better equipped and trained than any other known organization in the entire Wasteland.

The Enclave had also managed to gain access to one of the last known supplies of fossil fuel in the post-nuclear world, which is used to supply fuel for their Vertibird transports.^[6]

Background

Origins

The Star-Spangled Banner

One of the very few old world organizations to survive the Great War, the Enclave finds its roots in various branches of the pre-War American government and military. Its founding members embraced the inevitability of nuclear war; they believed that the majority of the nation could not and would not survive it, and that as long as the 'important people' of the United States survived, they could regroup quickly when worse came to worst, ultimately wipe out communism once and for all, and restore and rebuild the country.

Though not a part of the Enclave, many influential corporations (most infamously, the Vault-Tec Corporation) lobbied for the benefits that they hoped would result from government-sanctioned war contracts. Based in many of the Enclave's research facilities, most were either protected and preserved, or partially grazed and excommunicated during the nuclear firestorm of 2077.

In 2073, as the global race to exploit the handful of remaining natural resources reached its most fevered peak, the United States managed to stake a claim on the entire world's last known supply of crude oil, buried thousands of feet beneath the Pacific Ocean. Poseidon Oil, which in the years leading to the war became the world's leading monopoly on remaining oil reserves, was contracted to build an oil rig and quickly extract the invaluably precious oil.

Finally and relatively early in the fateful year of 2077, with the nation ultimately headed directly for nuclear devastation, the President of the United States and various other members of the continuity of government fell back to multiple secretive, heavily fortified locations all around the continent. Many members of the Enclave retreated to these remote locations in other parts of the world, but when the bombs began to drop, they lost communications with the main group that was to be headquartered at the Poseidon Oil Rig in the Pacific Ocean, from which the United States would continue to exist and wage war on China, with the eventual goal of retaking and restoring the continental United States, and wiping out communism forever...

As the world burnt in nuclear hellfire and the United States with it, its President, and the Enclave, remnants of the now pre-War American government,  assumed the positions they had predicted: as the last known organized fragment still representing their nation...

The Vault Experiment

 

The Vaults were funded by the U.S. government and, accordingly, the government had control over them. Ostensibly, they were intended to allow a selection of privileged United States citizens to survive the Great War. Secretly, however, a large part of the Vault Project had a far more sinister goal. The Experimentation on American citizens that ensued allowed the Enclave to simulate conditions to survive in the Apocalypse and adapt.

Rise to Power

Dick Richardson, President of the United States in 2242.

The seal on the Poseidon Oil Rig's entry level floor.

For a long time after the Great War, the Enclave sat quietly in its oil rig, consolidating its military forces, working on gaining a technological edge over anyone on the mainland.

Eventually, and after monitoring background radiation levels for over a century, they decided it was time to disperse into the Wastelands and commence the rebirth of America as overall radiation levels had gradually lowered to points which their newly-developed advanced power armor was designed to filter out.

Using their vertibirds, the Enclave sent out scouting parties all over California, the closest state to the oil rig. Eventually, Enclave troops stumbled across the old abandoned Mariposa Military Base, where research on the Forced Evolutionary Virus had been done before the Great War. The FEV was what had created the super mutants, the biggest threat of all to the Enclave.

The Enclave excavated the military base, largely using a workforce of miners gathered from surrounding locales that eventually found the vats deep inside the lower levels of the base.  Though they had been buried in rock and forgotten for decades, the vats still contained the virus.

The Enclave gathered samples to be sent back to their oil rig for further analysis and study. Before long though, their miners, some being fully exposed to raw FEV, others likely falling into the FEV vats' accidentally, began to mutate into a second generation of super mutants.

The mutant miners soon overthrew their Enclave guards. Seizing their weapons, hardware left behind by the first mutant army, or anything lying around, the super mutants stormed the upper levels and quickly overran the troops in the base. Panicked and retreating, the Enclave troopers on the upper levels fled the base and used explosives to seal the entrance, trapping the second generation mutants inside the base. ^[12][13]

The Project

Even though things went badly at Mariposa, the Enclave still had the samples of FEV they needed. Back at the oil rig, the United States Chemical Corps began work on the serum immediately. They found that it would be possible to make from FEV an incredibly potent and lethal toxin that only affected mutants. But, in order for research to progress, they would need test subjects. They needed two test groups: one of clean, pure humans and another composed of the "mutants" that lived all over the mainland, suffering radiation and FEV exposure for decades that, to the Enclave, made them unclean. This unclean sample was easily obtained by kidnapping the entire tribal population of Arroyo.

The clean group would be more difficult to obtain though. The Enclave wouldn't allow the Chemical Corps to use people living on the oil rig so they had to look elsewhere. Thus, they traveled in force to Vault 13 and sent a command to the Vault's computers to open the Vault door. After taking care of some mild resistance, the Enclave troops rounded up the residents of Vault 13 and shipped them off to the oil rig in Vertibirds to take part in the Chemical Corps' FEV experiments.

Success (in my timeline)

The Enclave succeeded in launching the FEV into the jet stream wiping out the entire mutant population of the wasteland.

 

Return

John Henry Eden, President of the Enclave in 2277.

In D.C., the ZAX mainframe installed in Raven Rock to ensure continuity of government continued to function until the destruction of the oil rig. When President Richardson was vaporized, ZAX created a persona, John Henry Eden to claim the post and assume authority over the remaining California Enclave forces, in addition to resuming construction of military ordnance ^[20] to provide for the resource-stricken subordinates. Augustus Autumn was chosen as the commanding officer of the armed forces (eventually succeeding his father). A series of eyebots were sent to roam the Wasteland, spreading hope and patriotism. Eden could spout his pro-government rhetoric, and promise a return of the pre-War America of legend: a land of white picket fences, baseball, apple pie, and good, old-fashioned American global supremacy.

President Eden’s secretive plan all along had been to rule over an America of the "pure", free from any mutation, just as his predecessor had planned before him. He had learned of an extremely ambitious scientific experiment known as Project Purity, and knew the time to strike had come: the Enclave's armed forces would "reclaim" the Jefferson Memorial. By controlling the purified water supply, Eden would control the Capital Wasteland, and eventually the rest of the country. What better way to administer a Modified FEV virus, which kills anyone irradiated or mutated in any way, than through a deceptively clean water supply?

When Project Purity was restarted in 2277, the Enclave acted at once. Troops under Autumn occupied the Purifier, and established a presence in the wastes, setting up checkpoints and establishing Constituency Enforcement Points, which was resisted by the Brotherhood of Steel. After retrieving a Garden of Eden Creation Kit from Vault 87, Eden attempted to recruit the individual known as the Lone Wanderer to work as a double agent, participating in the Brotherhood's attempted reclamation of Project Purity but infecting the water supply with the modified FEV at the last moment.

Eden was opposed by Colonel Autumn, who wanted to make a bid to lead the populace by completing and activating the purifier, thus providing the Enclave with a strong bargaining chip in their bid to unify the wastes under their flag.

The definitive fate of the entire Enclave itself as a whole, as well as its military division after the unclear events transpiring in the Capital Wasteland remains an unsolved mystery. However, it should be noted that, by 2281, a group of Enclave elite troopers, known as the Enclave remnants, are in hiding in the Mojave and, by 2287, the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel has thrived and increased its power exponentially. This would seem to suggest that the Enclave has finally been defeated or, at least, that they no longer have any central command that could provide the remnants with refuge or could challenge the Brotherhood. Supporting this further is Grand Zealot Richter, a former Enclave soldier turned Child of Atom from the Far Harbor add-on, who says that the Enclave were once a force to be reckoned with, but it's been a long time since then.

Enclave Sigma

 Previously posted to remote and classified locations outside of the Capital Wasteland, only the most elite of Enclave personnel, trained in multiple forms of combat, can earn the right to belong to Sigma.

Squad Sigma operates in six-soldier units, which utilize heavy incinerators and are led by a soldier clad in Hellfire Armor. Furthermore, Squad Sigma members are experienced fighters, each member being a hardened veteran of numerous successful combat operations. Sigma Squads are posted around locations deemed by Enclave high command as imperative to the salvation of the cause.

 

Facilities

 

West Coast

Control Station ENCLAVE

The Poseidon Energy oil rig, dubbed in Enclave records as Control Station ENCLAVE, lying just beyond the coast of California, served as the base for the post-Great War United States government. They were relocated to the rig after the bombs fell, and it served as their main headquarters until its sabotage by a tribal from Arroyo known as the "Chosen One".

Navarro

Navarro was an old oil refinery that served mainly as a refueling stop for Enclave Vertibirds carrying out missions in or around California, as well as a general go-to base of operations outside of the Oil Rig. The Navarro perimeter is patrolled by Enclave Control Company light teams, that operate independent from Navarro base's commanding officer.

Mariposa Military Base

Mariposa was a pre-War U.S. military base where the vast majority of the Forced Evolutionary Virus research was being done. After the war, it was taken over by the Master who used it to create an army of super mutants. After the Master's defeat and the base's destruction at the hands of the Vault Dweller, it was excavated by the Enclave, but abandoned when their newly mutated slaves rebelled against them.

East Coast

Raven Rock

 

Raven Rock was the Enclave's main base of operation in 2277. The Lone Wanderer is captured and taken to Raven Rock and held in an interrogation room by Colonel Augustus Autumn. President Eden asks for the Lone Wanderer to be released so that the Lone Wanderer can be spoken to privately. Upon reaching President Eden, the Lone Wanderer is asked to place the modified FEV in Project Purity.

Satellite Relay Station

The satellite relay station

After the loss of Raven Rock, the Satellite Relay Station was the Enclave's main communications installation. The facility was used primarily to coordinate the remainder of Enclave forces following the victory at the Purifier. During an offensive by the Brotherhood of Steel led by Liberty Prime, the defending forces of the Station contacted the mobile base crawler to call down an orbital strike on the robot's position. Liberty Prime was destroyed, but shortly afterward the Station was lost to the Brotherhood.

Adams Air Force Base

The Enclave's mobile base crawler

Adams Air Force Base was the new headquarters of the Enclave after the abandonment of Raven Rock. Located just outside the Capital Wasteland and accessible through the presidential metro, the base facilities housed some of the Enclave's VB-02 Vertibirds and was defended by squads of soldiers and artillery emplacements. The heart of Enclave operations in the area was the mobile base crawler, which featured a satellite communications dish capable of calling down an orbital strike from the Bradley-Hercules orbital weapons platform.
