Enclave remnants

“The Enclave did a lot of bad things, but there were good people at Navarro. Good people with a lot of experience. Not many of them are alive anymore, but I think they could make a difference in the fight against Caesar.”— Arcade Gannon

The Enclave Remnants are a group of scattered veterans from the West Coast Enclave living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background

While many of the Enclave traveled east to Raven Rock after the destruction of the Oil Rig,^[1]^{[Non-canon 1]} others retreated to Camp Navarro.^[2] The New California Republic launched an offensive on Navarro, causing the remnants to flee.^[3] The group attempted to integrate unseen, avoiding bounty hunters and members of the NCR and Brotherhood of Steel who pursued them.^[3]^[4] Eventually, the surviving members settled in and around the Mojave Wasteland, stashing their equipment in a hidden bunker that previously served as a refueling station.^[5]

Judah Kreger was once the group's commanding officer, but states that no one is required to follow his orders anymore.^[6]^[7] Kreger maintained the group's connection over the years, reminiscing about when their involvement with the Enclave gave them purpose, and that their goals were always focused on trying to civilize things.^[8]^[9]^[10] initially deflecting personal questions regarding their past.^[11]

To those who are familiar to them, group members will describe their former roles within the Enclave, such as Johnson and Moreno who were troopers, Henry who handled technical needs, and Whitman who flew the Vertibird.^[6] Daisy Whitman will share additional information about their past as a pilot,^[12] Cannibal Johnson recalls his time serving as the squad marksman,^[13] and the Courier will learn about Orion Moreno's role handling the heavy weapons.^[14] In addition, Doctor Henry will explain his role as a scientist, noting that he left the Enclave before any large conflict began due to a disagreement with Enclave leadership.^[15]

↑ The Courier: "Where did the Enclave go?"
Arcade Gannon: "A lot of different places. I only know what I was told. Some of them were cut down by the NCR and the Brotherhood. Some of them went east. My mother never told me what happened to my father, but she and I went south with some others and integrated into the NCR. When the NCR learned that Enclave personnel had integrated, we kept moving to the fringes. It's one of the reasons why I wound up out here."

My mother and I left with some of the troopers from my father's old unit, the same people I've kept in contact with over the years. Anyone who didn't get out was killed by the NCR. Even some of the ones who escaped were eventually hunted down by the Brotherhood of Steel."

↑ Courier: "What is this place?"
Judah Kreger: "This was a minor refueling station for vertibirds. It seemed an appropriate place to stash our equipment if we ever needed. I'm surprised this place hasn't fallen apart. When I put it into standby mode, I expected to return to it within a few years, not decades."

↑ Courier: "You're the officer here. Can't you just order him to go along with the plan?"
Judah Kreger: "I stopped being Moreno's officer a long time ago. Everyone here respects me, but they don't need to follow my orders. Not anymore."
(Judah Kreger's dialogue)
↑ Arcade Gannon: "Judah Kreger is the glue that's kept us all together over the years, and with good reason. Anyone who can command Moreno and Johnson in the same unit without somebody getting fragged is one hell of a leader. Kreger was polite and kind, but never warm. He always did his best to make me feel welcome in the group. I think he did it out of a sense of loyalty to my father. Loyalty means a lot to Judah. Not loyalty to the Enclave, or even the ideals they fought for, but to the people who served with him."

Cannibal Johnson: "I'm sorry to say that it was. Civilian casualties was acceptable and sometimes... encouraged. My former squadmate Moreno didn't need encouraging. Moreno and I might've killed each other if Captain Kreger hadn't been there to pull us apart."

↑ Judah Kreger: "I miss those days sometimes. We all had a purpose, you know? I admit that some of the folks in charge were pretty ruthless.

Then, we lost the oil rig and shortly after that, the base at Navarro. Nobody left except us Remnants."

↑ Courier: "What did you do when you were with the Enclave?"
Orion Moreno: "Heavy weapons trooper. Nothing better than hosing down a target with an excess of bullets and laser fire. By the time I got through with things, not much was left standing. Any morons who didn't run when they saw me coming got what they deserved. Back then, it was war. If we'd been on the winning side, I'd be called a hero."
(Orion Moreno's dialogue)

Henry: "Yes, but the leadership and I didn't see eye to eye, so I left. It was the right decision, since the Enclave's oil rig was destroyed not long after."

Autumn grew up on an oil rig off the California coast (the base of operations for the Enclave, the secretive contingent of the United States government that survived after the apocalypse). His father was the high-ranking Enclave scientist on orders from the president to move all high-ranking officials to the only other secure Enclave location with a functioning ZAX super-computer, Raven Rock. Colonel Autumn has proven to be far less subservient than his scientist father, often openly disagreeing with the president's decisions."
