The Enclave in Oregon

Overview

The Enclave, the shadowy remnant of the pre-War United States government, has begun making its presence known in Oregon. Operating from a hidden base deep within the remote Steens Mountain area, the Enclave conducts clandestine operations throughout the state, utilizing their advanced technology and highly trained personnel to pursue mysterious objectives. While their ultimate goals remain unclear, their growing activity in the region has caused unease among those who have caught glimpses of their influence.

Operations

Though the Enclave rarely acts directly, their presence is felt through the use of mercenaries and proxies loyal to their cause. These operatives are well-equipped and ruthlessly efficient, carrying out missions ranging from reconnaissance to targeted strikes against key individuals or groups. The Enclave’s advanced Vertibirds allow them to travel swiftly across Oregon, extending their reach into even the most remote corners of the Wasteland.

Steens Mountain Base: The Enclave’s headquarters in Oregon is rumored to be hidden in the rugged and isolated Steens Mountain region. Few have seen it, and even fewer have returned to speak of it.

Mercenary Networks: Using wealth and promises of protection, the Enclave has cultivated a network of mercenaries to act as their enforcers and spies. These individuals often appear as unaffiliated groups, making it difficult to trace their activities back to the Enclave.

Covert Activities: In the Willamette Valley, Enclave proxies have been increasingly active, operating in secret to avoid drawing attention to their true nature. Their exact purpose in the valley remains a mystery, fueling speculation and paranoia.

Rumors and Sightings

Vertibirds in the Sky: Travelers in Oregon occasionally report seeing sleek, black Vertibirds flying low over the terrain. These sightings are often dismissed as superstition or exaggeration, but those who know the truth recognize the unmistakable symbol of the Enclave.

Strange Deals: Local mercenary groups have been seen wielding surprisingly advanced weaponry and equipment, leading some to suspect they are funded and supplied by a powerful benefactor.

Abductions and Disappearances: Settlements near the Willamette Valley have reported a rise in disappearances, with no clear explanation. Some whisper that the Enclave is experimenting on captives for their own sinister purposes.

Current Threat Level

While the Enclave is not yet engaging in open conflict, their covert operations and growing influence make them a dangerous and unpredictable force in the region. Settlements and factions in Oregon would do well to keep an eye on their activities, as it is only a matter of time before the Enclave’s true intentions are revealed.
