Nuclear missile (Fallout: New Vegas)

A nuclear missile is a world object .
==Background==
When the Great War broke out, 77 nuclear missiles were aimed at the city of Las Vegas and surrounding area.The Courier: "What preparations did you make to save Las Vegas?"Robert House: "On the day of the Great War, 77 atomic warheads targeted Las Vegas and its surrounding areas. My networked mainframes were able to predict and force-transmit disarm code subsets to 59 warheads, neutralizing them before impact. Laser cannons mounted on the roof of the Lucky 38 destroyed another 9 warheads. The rest got through, though none hit the city itself. A sub-optimal performance, admittedly. If only the Platinum Chip had arrived a day sooner..."(Mr. House's dialogue) Due to preparations made by Robert House, mainframes force-transmitted disarm codes to 59 warheads and laser cannons on the roof of the Lucky 38 destroyed nine others, while the remaining 9 warheads were able to reach targets outside of the city. Raul Tejada recalls that Mr. House's anti-missile defense systems could be seen shooting down missiles from as far away as Mexico City.The Courier: "Can you tell me anything about Mr. House?"Raul Tejada: "Just how old do you think I am, boss? Because I can pretty much guarantee I'm older than that. Let me tell you a story from before the Great War: Everybody knew Robert House. He was a genius. A superstar. Founded RobCo at 22, dated Hollywood starlets, the works. They say he saved Las Vegas. I was in Mexico City when the bombs dropped. Even from there, we could see House's defensive rockets shooting down the incoming missiles. Everybody assumed he died in the War. Maybe he did. But his robots are still out there, roaming the Wastes. And now, a Mr. House rules New Vegas."(Raul Tejada's dialogue)
Several silos managed by the Commonwealth Defense Administration's Ballistic Defense Division were located in what would become the Divide, remaining unlaunched and underground after the war. The Courier delivered a device that activated these missiles within their silos, resulting in the destruction of Hopeville and Ashton.
In the Honest Hearts add-on, Randall Clark describes details about the nuclear missiles that destroyed Salt Lake City.Year: 2077 He recollects that his vehicle's engine failed and upon detonation, the light from the blast blinded individuals near him. In addition, after each detonation, there was an 18 second delay of ground movement from where he was located.
==Locations==
* A damaged missile that has fallen from its supports is within the Hopeville Missile Base silo.
* A missile remains inside the Ashton missile silo and can be fired by the Courier to create the Courier's Mile.
* Several missiles in varying states of repair can be found in Ulysses' Temple.
* Nuclear warheads are also found throughout the Divide and can be detonated. 
* The Courier can likewise choose to launch nuclear missiles at the New California Republic on the Long 15, at the Legion at Dry Wells, or both during the quest The Apocalypse.

==Notes==
The model of nuclear missile found in the Divide is called the Minuteman XI in the Silo network security codes, although the codes are an exact copy of the Fort Constantine launch codes from Fallout 3.
==Appearances==
Nuclear missiles are mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas and appear in its add-on Lonesome Road.
==Behind the scenes==
The appearance of the rocket is nearly identical to the Titan-II ballistic missile used by the United States during the Cold War, but with the name taken from the LGM-30 Minuteman family of intercontinental ballistic missiles, and then "futurized" as the Minuteman XI (Eleven). In our world, the Minuteman only goes up to the third generation (Minuteman III).
