Secret Service

=Faction=

The United States Secret Service was an United States federal government law enforcement agency, operating under the auspices of the Enclave following the Great War and the organization succeeding the American government. Their primary mission was the protection of the President at any and all cost (although since 2077 that'd be more of a representative position) and to this end they carried the best available equipment. In 2242, they employed advanced power armors and pulse rifles together with a squad of sentry bots and other support.

Frank Horrigan, during his tenure as the Presidential bodyguard, would be considered a part of the Secret Service.

Background
<!-- United States Secret Service Fallout Bible 5: "1. On a more fallout-y note, could you maybe explain the special encounter in FO2 that everyone has to go through where Frank is seen shooting some Farmer who refuses to give up some information? Why would frank go out of his way to mow down a couple of farmers? What was so important? Think you could include this in the bible too? I'm pretty sure lots of folks are curious. Regards, Killian" "I'm sorry, Killian, but the answer is no. If anyone else had asked, I would have provided them with documentation along with an audiotape of the designers describing the behind-the-scenes layout of the "Frank Horrigan foreshadowing events."" "::Crowd boos::" ''"Damn you all. All right. I will violate my vow of "I'm not going to talk about that FEV-pustule-argument-provoking Horrigan this week" with the following documentation. Here's the deal on the player's first encounter with Horrigan (note that this documentation is OLD, so it's got some problems):" "So the answer is that there is no answer. The farmer was included as a foreshadowing device, and allowed the player to see Horrigan's cruelty first hand early on in the game - the reason for the farmer's death is a mystery. If I were to guess, I would say that the old man held key information on the possible location of a Brotherhood of Steel outpost/bunker, some key genetic research that would enable the researchers to finally decode the FEV and/or figure out how to release it, perhaps the farmer was an escaped Enclave scientist, perhaps the man knew the location of Vault 13 (unlikely), or perhaps he was an unwitting dupe in the enslavement of several Redding miners many years ago and was being brought in for questioning on the effects of the FEV on the miners. I'm still following up with questions for the designers, so more information may become available later."'' -->

Appearances
The Enclave's secret service appears only in Fallout 2.
