Constantine Chase General Constantine Chase was a pre - War U . S . Army General , most notable for being the commanding officer of the Anchorage Reclamation , a military operation that repelled Chinese forces from Alaska in January of 2077 . The Lone Wanderer encounters and receives orders from a computer - generated reconstruction of Chase during their run through the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the year 2277 . Background . A four - star general in charge of the military assault on Anchorage , Chase is gruff , determined and a touch over the top with the politics of the day . He is constantly wary of " those Commie Bastards ! " and is overtly paranoid that they are up to all sorts of nefarious activities . The official Fallout 3 guide refers to him as your gallant leader , and that talking back to an officer of this rank isn ' t likely to be tolerated . Born on November 16 , 2027 , Chase was a competent military officer , as evident by his successful completion of the Alaska campaign , but his personality was highly controversial and his sanity doubtful . The general was responsible for commissioning the Liberty Prime project , in order to drive the Chinese out of Anchorage , ignoring reports from RobCo and General Atomics researchers that such a combat robot was simply not feasible . He is also responsible for commissioning the making and distribution of the drug Psycho during the war to soldiers , with his pharmaceutical company " General Chase R & D . " Furthermore , after January 2077 , he became increasingly arrogant and self - absorbed , to the point of personally overseeing the VSS project responsible for creating the Anchorage simulation . Constantly making alterations and demands , the result was a simulation completely detached from what actually happened in Anchorage . Chase was also responsible for green lighting the unofficial implementation of a military Chinese invasion training protocol in Vault 112 ' s Tranquility Lane simulation , at the request of Stanislaus Braun . ( Officially , the request was denied . ) According to the ribbons on the general ' s uniform in the simulation , he was the recipient of the Defense Distinguished Service medal , Army Distinguished Service Cross , Army Distinguished Service Medal , Silver Star , Legion of Merit , Joint Service Commendation Medal , Army Commendation Medal , Antarctica Service Medal , Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal , Gold Lifesaving Medal , and Armed Forces Reserve Medal .
