Red Rocket is the name of a franchise of refueling stations for pre-Great War automobiles. They can be encountered all across the Capital Wasteland. They are landmarks for many pre-War rest areas and garages throughout the wastes and can also be found near pre-War suburban settlements such as Springvale.
Notes
- At the base of a fueling station, where the gas pumps would be on an ordinary station, a dirty sign is visible that appears to say "Petroleum spirit. Highly flammable."
- Red Rocket refueling stations seem to appear next to almost every mechanic's workshop in the Capital Wasteland.
- The Children of Atom in Megaton has a 'Red Rocket' rocket on top of their church, either taken from one of the refueling stations or taken from the Springvale Elementary playground.
- There are usually one or two trash bins and/or Nuka-Cola vending machines to be found in the vicinity.
- The station's apparatus is a prime example of Raygun Gothic architecture.
- Mini Red Rockets can be seen at playgrounds.
- After The Waters of Life quest several Enclave scouting parties will set up shop near Red Rocket stations.
