Meatpack

**Meatpack** is named after the Meatpacking District in the same location as in-game.

## Background

What’s now known as Meatpack was once the center of the Meatpacking District. Originally famous for its clothing stores, Meatpack now pays homage to its namesake, and is a booming butcher society. Radstag, Brahmin, Chicken, Rabbit, and even Fish are all up for sale at many of the locations within Meatpack.

Meatpack also has a revival of manufacturing, with distilleries producing turpentine, oil, and acid; as well as presses forming iron, ceramics, and wood.

## Inter-City Relations

Meatpack sells a lot of their meats to Chelsea Market, and have good relations with both Chelsea and Greenwich. Being bordered on all sides by these two city-states on the East, and by the Hudson to the West, it does not directly deal with other settlements, however many of their traders buy their meat either within Meatpack’s borders, or at Chelsea Market. They also have no issues with raiders due to their land-locked position.

## NPCs

### Sapohanikan

Sapohanikan is a bazaar-style trade center where caravans from the different city states come to trade. There are no permanent vendors, and they rotate inventory and vendors frequently.

* *Dianne* A ghoul woman selling clothing is somehow not the oddest part of Meatpack. Dianne says she was pre-war, but her understanding of the world doesn’t quite match your own, so her story is dubious. Regardless, her dresses are beloved by many.
* *Alexander King* “Beauty in Death” is Alexander’s motto. His store is filled with skulls and flowers, and supplies weapons to the player and NPCs in order to increase the amount of both outside his shop.
* *Lou Christian* Lou sells clothes, as well as wholesale products from the distilleries in the area. Shipments of Acid or Oil can be extremely useful for weaponry or for building your settlement, or creating your own manufacturing center.
* *Courtney Stellas* Originally from Lennon, Courtney left that life and came to Meatpack. Ironically, Courtney is a staunch vegetarian. She sells clothing, as well as vegetarian options for food.
* *Kip Chapelle* Chapelle sells clothing.
* *Don Hardy* Hardy is a tattoo artist that sells accessories in his shop. You can get a tattoo from him for a small price. His needles are kept cleanest in the city. Perhaps even the North East.
* *Adam Renta*Adam runs a boutique store selling clothing.
* *Knacker* Knacker was once a raider but instead became a slaughterhouse worker, processing meat.
* *Shamble* Shamble is an older Irish man who sells fish. He’s slow moving but ornery.
* *Daro* Daro is a middle eastern man who owns the terracotta press that’s manufacturing ceramics.

## Side Stories/Quests

1. *Satisfied* Discover the source of the meat sold at the hotdog vendors
2. *Ya Got Trouble* Expose the plot to infiltrate MeatPack by raiders to the East.

## Player Interaction

* If the player does not expose the plot against MeatPack, in the ending, MeatPack will be attacked.
* If the Enclave invades, they find little resistance remaining, and easily wipe the town, taking the manufacturing plants for themselves.
* If the Enclave does not invade, it is a slow recovery for MeatPack, but ultimately they continue to thrive.

## Relation to Main Games

* They will refer to other places that sell “Iguana Meat” that isn’t actually Iguana, in reference to Iguana Bob from Fallout 1.
* On occasion, patrons of the bar may say "Prime Choice Select is made of people!!!! It's made of people!!!" quite loudly. This is a reference to both Charlton Heston's famous line from the movie Soylent Green, as well as a NPC line from Fallout 1.

## Notes

* “Sapohanikan” at the crossroads of Gansevoort Street and Washington Street is named after the pre-colonial Native American market of the same name
* Knacker is derived from a term used for slaughterhouses that produce meat that is not intended for human consumption. “Knackeries” or “Knacker Yards”
