Boston Airport

Boston Airport (officially Boston International Airport) is a location and possible settlement in the Commonwealth.

Background
Once the pride of Boston, the airport has fallen into disrepair. Feral ghouls, scavengers, and the simple passage of time have taken a toll on the once grand terminals. Derelict husks of airplanes litter its grounds and nothing but the desolate wind comes to visit. That is, until the Brotherhood of Steel learned of its location and arrived in force. While the Prydwen remains moored at the control tower, the airport has been repurposed as a logistics center. Everything the Brotherhood needs to operate passes through here: supplies from the Prydwen, salvage from the field, everything. Access is strictly limited and every inventoried element is tracked down to the every singly bullet and bolt.

The Boston Airport serves as a forward operating base for all operations in the Commonwealth. Supplies are stored here, as well as the remains of Liberty Prime, who the Brotherhood plans to rebuild and use against the Institute. The Brotherhood's best soldiers are stationed as the last line of defense for both Prime and the Airport itself, with even Star Paladins encountered patrolling the walkway surrounding Prime. Behind Prime's building platform is the storage depot, where Knight-Sergeant Gavil stores all incoming rations appropriately, as well as supplying gear to field soldiers. Above that is a landing platform, where a general recreational area lies around it. Benches, vending machines, and several food items lay about to allow the Brotherhood to relax with each other before heading out.

Settlement information
This settlement is only accessible after completing Shadow of Steel. The terminal is largely bereft of bare ground that can support agriculture or water wells, meaning that supply lines may be required to provide for the settlement. However, one cannot craft a recruiting beacon for this settlement, making it more suitable as a home base than an actual settlement.

There is an abundance of steel from the seating arrangements within, but very little wood, meaning that, once again, supply lines must be used in order to build structures. The area is is prone to being raided, but the nearby Brotherhood sentries can usually make fast work of any attackers.

Surface
The airport is in ruins. The southern, exposed part of the terminal contains a settlement workshop. The northern, more intact part of the terminal is filled with feral ghouls, which are exterminated when the Prydwen arrives and with it, the Brotherhood of Steel. The entrance is repurposed for a construction gantry, while the interior is used as a logistics base. A landing pad is established in the derelict departures terminal, with a Vertibird connecting the flight to the Prydwen.

Airport ruins
The ruins beneath the airport are fairly straightforward with their layout and take the player on a trip around the derelict facility, starting with luggage retrieval and passenger walkways (Knight Rylan's body is in a maintenance corridor off the walkways), through the subterranean parking lot and the derelict subway stop beneath the terminal, to Initiate Clarke finally.
