Chryslus Motors Megaplex

The Chryslus Motors Megaplex is a massive complex of automotive factories, R&D centers, and administration buildings located in the Motor City Wasteland. It was the headquarters for the Chryslus Motors Corporation. In 2287, the former robot staff has run amok, making exploration of the area extremely dangerous.

Background
Located on the Rouge River, the Chryslus Motors Megaplex is a huge factory owned and operated by Chryslus Motors. The Megaplex began in 2059, when Chryslus connected two separate factories along with their headquarters and main R&D center. Rival auto companies went out of business as Chryslus continued to dominate the market and Chryslus was able to purchase neighboring factories cheaply and eventually connected them to the Megaplex as well. Before the bombs fell, the Megaplex had grown into one of the largest factories in the U.S. and the largest car factory in the world. The Megaplex was responsible for over half of the country's production of Chryslus automobiles, including all in the Midwest markets.

Unknown to the public, the Chryslus Megaplex was part of the Arsenal of Democracy. The factory not only built machined parts for the military, their engineers were applying their automotive knowledge to construct a specialized suit of power armor that was much faster than traditional designs.

Chryslus Motors was very strict about their who saw their newest designs; their few competitors were always trying to steal their ideas and replicate them. Thus the massive robotic workforce needed to run the facility also doubled as security to keep prying eyes out, their only task now that the factory is nonoperational. The Brotherhood of Steel found this out firsthand when they tried to take the Chryslus Megaplex in 2282. The robotic workforce decimated the Brotherhood and the group was forced to flee. In the two centuries since the bombs fell, no one has ever made it inside and lived.

The Brotherhood is still intent on taking the factory in 2287, now that they've established themselves in the Motor City Wasteland. If the Prisoner is well trusted by them, and if the other squad missions are successful, the Prisoner may be asked to lead a squad mission to claim the factory in the name of the Brotherhood.

Behind the Scenes

 * The Megaplex is a mash-up of automotive facilities in and around Detroit such as the Ford River Rouge Plant, which gives the Megaplex its location, and the GM Technical Center.
