Enclave origin theory and why they exist.

TeeVoo

First time out of the vault
Instead of writing a essay i'll just try to be to the point.
If the new common wealth system went in place in 1969 it makes me believe the enclave was a "brown shirt" like organization that was started after WW2. with the idea of preserving American society when the vietnam war happened, and America wasn't supporting the war effort, the enclave stepped, the 60s morale was lowering in the USA all around, drugs were becoming a big thing, porn, rebelling, and other things that a right winger would see as the degradation of society. The enclave came in, got rid of those things or attempted to. censored new music, kept society in a post ww2 way of thinking, sure, new things came around and new music was made, but any new generas as we know it was underground, main stream new music sounded a lot friendlier, like what we hear in the fallout games or things like Billy Holly ect.

The enclave probably took on a nearly NAZI or STASI type role in American society. But maybe quantified it to be agreeable enough, to the common person in American, maybe they were just liberal enough to support things like womens sufferage or civic rights, but conservative enough to believe in civic nationalism and anti degeneracy and pro-war, anti hippie.

That being said, i think Nixon was still president hell, i learned that even REAGEN is canon in fallout.
but i think MacArthur got a presidental term, or something, or even with the Enclave, Nixon got his dream of nuking the ho chi min trail. and winning the Vietnam war, after that we saw a more isolationist America, with much of the world fearing the US using it's nuclear arsenal again. The Western world probably became more centered on America as a cultural epicenter as the east pulled away even harder. We know the USSR didn't dissolve. Maybe there was a "two worlds peace agreement" that agreed to have communism continue to exist in places as long as it didn't disturb the sleeping giant of the west. Vietnam probably became a country nearly like the US, similar to how we see it in the watchmen universe.

This in turn, seeing as how the US/the enclave got the US citizens to support their own oppression and support war efforts, was a basis for the invention of vault tech and it's human experiments. After a nearly 100 year peace agreement and a liberation approach to corporations and "freedom" (for the rich) things get shaky, the treaty is broken and you get the global resource war.
 
Take a few whiskey shots. Chase it with slugs of red wines.

I mean, your incoherent post still had a few logic-resembling lines. We cant have that, right?
 
While there most likely had been a pre-enclave group of high ranking official, élite society and military before thé War
. They had to be together and prepared to reach thé oil rig before thé bombs. Beside, some of their Big projects were from before thé War. I Also think that thé faction you encounter in game is heavily influenced by thé decades isolationism. They might bé very différent from what they used to be when thé bombs dropped, like thé Brotherhood of Steel ended up very différent from thé militaries who left Mariposa.
 
I think enclave is simply the deep state including some top goverment officials and the president (excluding the sock puppets). Why did they hid on the platform? Maby because the locations of other goverment bunkers was known and they were not considered safe so a less conspicious hiding place was prepared in advance. I think in the spirit of fallout 1 and 2 we are not really supposed to have much info about the pre war world which is considered ancient history. Digging too much into the pre war is imho a big fault of Bethesda and goes against the theme of the original games.
 
The Oil Rig is more like a forward command base, and Navarro is forward base.

Note that in oil rig we dont see any children, and the density of bunk bed make it more like a barrack rather than a home. See Vault 13/8/101 as how a home/shelter design would be: closed quarter for each family.

So I put the Oil Rig more like a new, temporary, forward command base to control the operation on West Coast (infiltrate, capture targets, gather resources, recon... and finally drop FEV on gulf stream to kill all wastelanders on California).

Considering Oil Rig location, I would suggest Hawaii as the source of these Enclaves. Nothing else make sense.

Chicago does. Given Vault 0 is located there.
 
My headcanon is the Enclave started as a large scale contingency plan for continuity of government and the oil rig had an underwater vault that supported a very large population, plus control vaults they took over shortly after the war.
 
I have same problem with Vault 0 being origin and heartland of Enclave: no children and living facilities. Vault 0 might be origin of President Eden, but not Enclave~
 
Not vault 0, but something like it.
It makes sense they have a major hub, with the control vaults serving as a source of fresh population as needed.
