Camp Seward

Camp Seward is a military installation in the Yukon Wasteland in 2220. Originally a base used by the United States Armed Forces and later the Enclave, it has survived the Great War and is now the focus of many myths in the post-War frozen north. 
==Pre-War==
Named after a pre-War Secretary of Defense, the United States Armed Forces began the construction of Camp Seward in 2073 in the newly-annexed Canadian Yukon. It was built as a radar installation to provide an early warning of nuclear strikes through the Arctic Ocean.
Camp Seward was very active during the 2070's. Many U.S. Army soldiers patrolled the large base, a necessary precaution due to the ongoing Anchorage Reclamation. 
==The Enclave==
Due to the remoteness of Alaska and the northern reaches of Canada, the Enclave realized that it would be easier to store supplies in the area before World War Three rather than drag them all the way from California when they revealed themselves and decided to “retake” the country. 
With many of its members in the upper echelons of the United States government and military, as well as a massive supply of military equipment in the area due to the war in Alaska, it wasn’t difficult for the Enclave to move a sizeable amount of equipment to Camp Seward. Officially the materiel was moved to the base for safekeeping away from the Alaskan frontlines, but still close enough that it could be moved there if needed. In reality it would be stored away until it was reclaimed by the Enclave. Seward's location was largely kept a secret in order to protect the equipment Chinese sabotage or bombing, but this also had the added benefit to the Enclave of keeping it hidden after the inevitable nuclear apocalypse.
Camp Seward was used as a rear operating base for military personnel in the Anchorage Reclamation (including a short visit by General Constantine Chase), much to the displeasure of the Enclave.
==Post-War==
Even with their early warning, the nuclear exchange caught many in the American government by surprise. Several Enclave members were active military personnel in Alaska, and without time to reach the Poseidon Oil Rig they were instead ordered to Camp Seward. Only three were able to make it, and what greeted them at the base was a truly horrifying sight. Corpses of American military personnel stationed at the base still littered the facility, in the process of being cleaned up by its automated staff. None of them were “privileged” enough to be part of the Enclave, and were executed as a result. 
The three Enclave officers quickly tried to establish contact with Control Station ENCLAVE for further orders but were met with static. Either the Great War itself had cut communications, the Presidential Rig had willfully severed connections, or those on the oil rig simply didn’t care for their unimportant members at Camp Seward. Regardless of the reason, their isolation combined with the gruesome welcome to the base drove one officer to suicide. 
For thirty years the remaining officers hoped and prayed that the main Enclave force would reclaim the mainland, reestablish communications with them, and save those Americans who survived nuclear armageddon. By 2107 the two realized this would never happen. They would die alone in the frozen wasteland of the Yukon, Camp Seward’s automated staff preventing them from leaving. Hoping to find others that had survived the Great War, they used explosives stored on the base to blow open an escape exit in the facility. With as much equipment on their backs as they could carry, the two parted ways and each set out to find any remnants of civilization. One made it to Juneau, passing the story of Camp Seward and its treasures on before dying of old age. The second used their military knowledge and Enclave equipment to unite the squabbling seaborne marauders of Alaska into the feared Yeiltooch Pirates.
==Present day==
In 2220 the base has become a legend across the Yukon Wasteland. Stories tell of a government bunker brimming with weapons, food, working vehicles, and pre-War prototypes hidden somewhere in the frozen wastes. Many have searched and died to find the secrets of Camp Seward, and many will continue until the base is either found or fades from memory completely. 
==Technology==
Camp Seward was fitted with much of the same pre-War technology as the oil rig was. Prototype X-01 power armor and vertibirds with snow camouflage, plasma weapons, and much more equipment lies waiting to be claimed in the depths of Camp Seward.
The base's utilities and operations are run by a ZAX unit. The camp is powered by a General Atomics nuclear power generator.
==Layout==
===Surface===
Many of the buildings on the surface are run down due to neglect since the War, such as the base's headquarters, barracks, and the radar dishes. There are three hangars dotting the camp's surface, connected by heavy-duty elevators to the underground deep storage facility.
===Sub-level 1===
Sub-level 1 housed living quarters for higher ranking soldiers living on Camp Seward before the War, containing numerous bunkbeds, storage rooms, and a recreation facility.
===Sub-level 2===
Sub-level 2 houses the control room, a laboratory, and the ZAX computer room.
===Sub-level 3===
Sub-level 3 houses the base's storage complex, filled with all of the advanced equipment the Enclave would need in reclaiming the country. This includes a sizable underground hangar for storage of vertibirds, protected from the years of radiation, ash, and snow.
===Sub-level 4===
Sub-level 4 houses the General Atomics nuclear reactor and the water purifier.
