Red Rocket

Red Rocket Corp,Red Rocket Collectron: " "(Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue) simply known as Red Rocket, was a pre-War company that operated a nationwide chain of filling stations for automobiles, characteristic for their Raygun Gothic architecture.
==Background==
The company started its rise in an age when gasoline and diesel were still used as fuel.Company logo The fossil fuel market crash and the beginning of the Resource Wars in 2052 and the invention of practical fusion energy cells in 2066,Fallout Bible 0: "2066 Summer "Adding further insult to the Chinese-American relations, the first crude fusion cell is unveiled, one of the results of the Power Armor project. Devices designed for the fusion cell begin to be manufactured. Incorporating fusion power into the general US infrastructure begins, but the process is too slow to supply power to the regions that need it. Nearly thirteen years later, few sections of the United States were supplied with fusion power." Red Rocket expanded rapidly nationwide, offering fusion and coolant refilling services,Red Rocket protectron: "Red Rocket is the name you trust for nuclear-powered engine coolant."(Red Rocket Protectron's dialogue) as an early adopter, though gasoline and diesel continued to be sold throughout franchise locations,Red Rocket protectron: "Would you like gasoline, diesel, or coolant?"(Red Rocket Protectron's dialogue) specifically to appeal to those who owned pre-atomic/non-converted vehicles.Red Rocket Collectron: ""(Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue.txt) On the east coast, Red Rocket held a veritable monopoly on the market for this reason.The Art of Fallout 4 p. 319: "Red Rocket fuel stations continue to hold a monopoly on the market. While the logo and typeface may evolve, the iconic rocket is a constant design element of the stations."Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p. 230: "Red Rocket got its start before the advent of fusion cells, and the influence of its initial reliance on fossil fuels remained even after it switched over to providing reactor fuel and coolant. By the time of the War, they held a virtual monopoly on the US East Coast, and their iconic stations can still be found in the wreckage of most communities. These range from tiny outposts, little more than a tattered awning over a depleted filling station, to massive truck stops with attached convenience stores and restaurants." Many of its gas stations had the capacity to refill nuclear engines.Station appearance and advertisements in Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76
Red Rocket was very conscious about their public image, particularly concern for the environment,Red Rocket Collectron: ""(Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue) as well as family friendliness.Red Rocket protectron: "Law abiding customers, do not be alarmed. Red Rocket Mega Stop is a family friendly business."(Red Rocket Protectron's dialogue) While customers were treated with care, if any posed any threat to the family-friendly image of the company, they were to be eliminated.Red Rocket protectron: "Threats to our family friendly environment must be eliminated."(Red Rocket Protectron's dialogue)Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p. 230: "During its heyday, Red Rocket was highly concerned with its environmental reputation, as a way of differentiating themselves from the rapacious reputation of most energy companies of the time. This resulted in strong customer-care and waste-reduction policies, which were sometimes observed with lethal enthusiasm." By 2076, customer satisfaction rates were stated to be extremely high.Red Rocket Collectron: ""(Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue) Employees were expected to make every effort to reduce waste. One element of these efforts was the annual Trashbusters Award given to Red Rocket stations and stores who demonstrated the greatest year-to-year waste reduction.Trashbusters Award Trashbuster recommendations could be given via mailing Trashbuster Recommendation Card through standard shipping rates.Red Rocket Collectron: " "(Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue) At certain areas, inspections were skin-deep, however, and unscrupulous franchise operators could win it simply by dumping their waste out of sight.Red Rocket truck stop terminals; Red Rocket terminal, Safe storage
==Services==
* Red Rocket stations provided refueling services for fossil fuel and for nuclear engines. The latter included refueling the onboard reactors and replacing the spent coolant. Coolant was available in at least two varieties: Coolant A ($103.99 per unit) and Coolant C ($113.99 per unit). Smaller stations, known as Automobile Service Stations, were little more than an awning with the characteristic rocket and filling pumps delivering fuel and coolant recharges from underground tanks, promising high-tech fuel with better competition than competitors.Appalachia audio tour stations; The Giant Teapot Depending on the region, some stations were completely automated and others served as both a fuel station coupled with mechanic services.Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p. 230: "As the Resource Wars took their toll on the general economy and the energy market in particular, Red Rocket moved swiftly toward robotic staffing. By the time of the War, most of their locations were 100% automated. Some of them continue operating today, despite having no fuel in their tanks or food on their shelves." They also sold acetone and offered patent-pending "Premium Hi-Octane coolant."Red Rocket Collectron: " "(Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue)
* Large Red Rocket stations went beyond the usual vending machines and included complete convenience stores with local and national brands, including Nuka-Cola soft drinks, slushies, tourist pamphlets, and Grey Tortoise cigarettes.Red Rocket Protectron: "All Red Rocket slushies are buy one get one free. Try our new Nuka-Cola flavor today."(Red Rocket protectron's dialogue)Red Rocket protectron: "Tourist pamphlets may be found at the cashier counter. Some discounts may be available."(Red Rocket Protectron's dialogue)Poster advertisements The facilities offered car washing services, frequently bundled with refueling, along with fully Automated Diners open 24/7, offering foods like burgers, made from bio-engineered ingredients, incorporating precise proportions and flawlessly seared beef.Red Rocket protectron: "Restore your car's shine in our professional car wash. A guaranteed clean at just the right price."(Red Rocket Protectron's dialogue)Red Rocket protectron: "Sit back and relax at our Red Rocket Restaurant. Open 24 hours for your convenience."(Red Rocket Protectron's dialogue)Red Rocket Please StopRed Rocket Collectron: ""(Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue) Clients could choose between full service by a station attendant, self-service, or automated service while robots provided car washes.Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 advertisements

==Notes==
* A Red Rocket station appears in the Fallout TV series.
* At Red Rocket stations in the Capital Wasteland, at the base of a fueling station, where the gas pumps would be on an ordinary station, a dirty sign is visible that appears to say "Petroleum spirit. Highly flammable."
* Red Rocket refueling stations are frequently near mechanic's workshops in the Capital Wasteland.
* Red Rocket was able to sell biologically engineered foodstuffs at their local truck stops.Red Rocket Please Stop
* The Red Rocket Collectron's idle dialogue include information about the gas station chain.Red Rocket Collectron's dialogue
* The Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook mentions the company, describing it as a mythic influence over the people of the wasteland due to its pervasive, persistent iconography, and notes that by 2077, Red Rocket held a virtual monopoly on the East Coast, after transitioning from fossil fuels to fusion power. It was also one of the companies who was concerned with its environmental reputation and took steps to reduce waste and look after its customers. Finally, it also explains that it has automated a large number of its stations and operations, reflecting the sorry state of the national economy due to the ongoing Sino-American War.Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p.231: "The ubiquity of Red Rocket and their brand imagery has given it something of a mythic influence over people of the wasteland, turning it into an icon of the safety and prosperity of a vanished age. In Megaton, for example, the Church of the Atom building is topped with a Red Rocket sign scrounged from one station or another. Rumors also circulate of a massive vault, Vaultopolis, built beneath the company’s headquarters building some time before the War."
* At an unconfirmed date, Red Rocket had a vault installed underneath their headquarters, also known as Vaultopolis. The vault's location is discovered by the raider, Paula Plumbkin.
