Hail the People's Republic!

The Chinese remnants are a faction in the Capital Wasteland appearing in Fallout 3. For the version appearing in Fallout 76, see Operation Trinitite.

Background[]

The members of this faction are the last known, scattered remnants of Chinese covert military operations in Washington, D.C. Originally, they were part of a group of operatives under Captain Huang dispatched to use the Mama Dolce's food processing plant as a cover for covert operations in the D.C. area, linking up with other infiltrator units across the region.[1] While jobs and wages were provided, the operatives actually produced foods to maintain a revenue stream independent of the mainland, though after strong initial growth, they had to seek alternative sources of revenue and adulterate the food with lumber mill by-products. Rising domestic shipping costs cut into the revenue and the viability of the operations.[2]

All members of the operation were given plausibly-sounding American names, like Robert Whiteman, the plant manager (possibly Huang himself), and Thomas Jenkins, Michael Smith, Jonathan Apple, or Joe Jones.[3] It appears that Huang was in the process of completing the outreach when the Great War struck.[1]

For one reason or another, the intelligence operatives, spies, and special operations soldiers in Washington decided to rally at Mama Dolce's under Huang's command. At an undetermined point, they became ghoulified,[Non-game 1] and two centuries later, a handful of these survivors remain at the facility, wearing old, tattered Chinese uniforms and steadfastly loyal to communism, still invoking Chairman Cheng's name in combat,[4] and despising Americans even two hundred years after the Great War (unlike Zao, captain of the Yangtze-31 submarine).[5] The Washington remnants seem to focus on avoiding detection, trying to corner and eliminate their foes to prevent an escape,[6] and using overwhelming firepower to ensure no survivors manage to slip their grasp.[7] Their isolation deep within Arlington ensures they are unlikely to be discovered by chance.[Non-game 1]

Notes[]

Unlike other Capital Wasteland ghouls, and similarly to the ghoulified version of Moira, the Chinese remnants lack any voice distortion. As a result, they sound like Chinese soldiers in Tranquility Lane and Operation: Anchorage.

Appearances[]

The Chinese remnants appear only in Fallout 3.

    The Chinese Remnant faction is just that: the last, scattered remnants of Chinese military operations in the United States. These spies, intelligence agents, and special-ops soldiers were abandoned on foreign soil and have been kept alive these long years as irradiated Ghouls. There numbers are extremely few, and you are unlikely to encounter them in any numbers unless you should stumble across their cover operation from years ago, somewhere in the bowels of D.C...."
