Even pre-War, San Fransisco was considered a "weird" city. <ref name="F:2 Guide">''[[Fallout 2 Official Strategies & Secrets]]''</ref> It was also evidently hit hard during the [[Great War]], as much of the city is a ruin. However, humanity has clung to life in and around the bay area. The [[PMV Valdez]] can be found here, an aged oil tanker left sitting at the docks. [[Vagrants|Tanker vagrant]] have since come to call it home, but the tanker has a darker past. Some say the creatures within it, namely [[wanamingo]]s, [[floater]]s, and [[centaur]]s, were placed there by the Enclave to prevent the tanker from being used to get to their oil rig headquarters. This is supported by the fact that essential components needed to make use of the ship have been relocated to Navarro and Vault 13. However, it is apparent that these steps were not enough, as the [[Chosen One]] later collects the parts and uses the tanker to get to the [[Enclave Oil Rig]].

For the most part, the city's population is made up of the [[Shi]], descendants of a group of stranded Chinese submariners that beached nearby, likely in the bay itself.

The shuttle itself was found at San Fransisco International Airport, and was likely involved in a scrapped plan to transport Enclave personnel off-planet to escape the War.

"Many Contrasts"

“San Fransisco was hit hard by nukes, but it didn't kill the city. Instead it just mutated it into something a bit weirder. You'll have to make your way past an oddly revived Chinatown, post-nuke punks, and a bizarre group of cultists called Hubologists. Hmm, maybe San Fransisco hasn't changed all that much.”— Fallout 2 Official Strategies & Secrets

San Francisco is a city in Northern California. After the Great War, its population consists mostly of the Shi, who are the descendants of the crew of a Chinese submarine that crashed there, and of the members of a religious cult known as the Hubologists.

Background

Even pre-War, San Fransisco was considered a "weird" city. [1] It was also evidently hit hard during the Great War, as much of the city is a ruin. However, humanity has clung to life in and around the bay area. The PMV Valdez can be found here, an aged oil tanker left sitting at the docks. Tanker vagrant have since come to call it home, but the tanker has a darker past. Some say the creatures within it, namely wanamingos, floaters, and centaurs, were placed there by the Enclave to prevent the tanker from being used to get to their oil rig headquarters. This is supported by the fact that essential components needed to make use of the ship have been relocated to Navarro and Vault 13. However, it is apparent that these steps were not enough, as the Chosen One later collects the parts and uses the tanker to get to the Enclave Oil Rig.

Factions

For the most part, the city's population is made up of the Shi, descendants of a group of stranded Chinese submariners that beached nearby, likely in the bay itself. Over the years, the remnants of the submarine were salvaged to better serve the Shi. For example, the computer once installed in the submarine is now the Shi Emperor.

The Hubologists, a cult focused on the pre-War "teachings" of Dick Hubbell also call the city home, and have secured a pre-War USS Quetzel, which they intend to repair and use to leave Earth, by launching it using the now-ruined Golden Gate Bridge as a launch platform. The shuttle itself was found at San Fransisco International Airport, and was likely involved in a scrapped plan to transport Enclave personnel off-planet to escape the War.

Enclave nuked the hell out of San Francisco, assuming that the destruction of the oil rig was caused by attackers from that city (and also a way to clean the slate there).[2]

Location

San Francisco can be found seven squares east and twenty-four squares south of Arroyo.

Chinatown

Fo2 San Francisco Chinatown
Main article: Chinatown

(Also called Shi-town) is a location in San Francisco. Once a suburb of the great city, it has been adopted by the descendants of the Shi-huang-ti crew, who have lived in the red brick houses ever since. In 2241, it's the heart of the city and a focal point for Shi internal struggles.

Notable establishments in the district include Red 888 Guns weapons shop, Lao Chou's Flying Dragon 8 general store, Dr Fung's clinic and the gyms of Dragon and Lo Pan as well as passages to the Golden Gate, Shi-town Docks and the Steel Palace. Off the radar is a pre-War military station, currently controlled by the Brotherhood of Steel, manned by a single soldier - Matthew.

Steel Palace

Fo2 Steel Palace of the Shi
Main article: Steel Palace

The Steel Palace is the main base of the Shi, Chinese inhabitants of San Francisco. It is a small, reinforced structure allegedly constructed out of metal salvaged from the Shi-huang-ti submarine they arrived in during the nuclear firestorm of 2077. Inside, protected by heavily armed guards (H&K G11s and M72 Gauss rifles are common), lies the Emperor mainframe (also a relic from the submarine) that records and analyzes the factions history, advising Ken Lee. In addition, biological, chemical and physical research labs are present in the complex, giving the Shi a substantial edge in the technological race in the wasteland.

Shi Town Docks

Fo2 San Francisco Docks
Main article: Shi-town Docks

The docks support a population of slags as well as Shi children. It is not a terribly healthy place to live, judging by the rust-brown color of the water surrounding the ancient and corroding PMV Valdez.

Golden Gate

Fo2 San Francisco Shuttle

The USS Quetzel

File:Fo2 SF Hubologist Compound.jpg

The Hubologist Compound, where their leader, the AHS-9, is located.

Main article: Golden Gate

The Golden Gate is the place that the Hubologists call home. The location is divided into two smaller sections: the cracked bridge where their space shuttle is located, and a bunker that serves as their headquarters; the latter being the most notable locale of the two. In the bunker, the player can find the most important people of the Hubologist sect, the AHS-7, the AHS-9, as well as Vikki Goldman and Juan Cruz, two porn stars from New Reno who are in support of the Hubologist cause.

Groups

San Francisco is populated mostly by the Shi and governed by the Emperor. The Emperor and his aides live in a steel palace on the east side of San Francisco. The palace contains vast and advanced scientific labs of various fields and the scientists working there are some of the best in the wasteland. Their main opposition are the Hubologists who have scientists of their own, yet have proven to be significantly behind the technological innovation of the Shi.

The Shi have managed to keep many of their old traditions and customs alive, which is more than many American groups can say. They also run an extensive weapons trade, offering many technologies usually only available to the Brotherhood of Steel. Where they manage to get these items is unknown.

There is also a population of vagrants, artists, disenchanted people from various cities, and ex-military personnel that have taken over an old oil tanker still floating in the harbor. They will usually trade expertise for goods, although they prefer to be left alone.

The third major group, which does not trade, is a religious community called the Hubologists. They are obsessed with an old space shuttle they found parked at the airport and are attempting to make it fly again, so they can join their gods in the heavens above.

The Brotherhood of Steel has a large outpost in San Francisco, although it is outwardly indiscernible from other Brotherhood outposts. Its distinguishing feature is an extensive basement stocked with Brotherhood technology and armaments. The Brotherhood maintains a low profile in San Francisco, though whether it is intentional or a byproduct of waning influence is not known.

Relationships with other settlements

During 2241, the New California Republic had no influence in San Francisco, and the Shi are quite happy to keep it that way and the Hubologists don’t concern themselves with such things. Little information exists on what has happened to San Francisco since the events of Fallout 2, and there is no mention of it in Fallout: New Vegas.

There are few foreigners in San Francisco and newcomers are easily noticed. Due to its location in between the military base, Navarro, and a desolate expanse of wasteland, it is logical to assume that few (but well-armed) caravans traverse these paths. Remnants of the Master's army, Enclave patrols, press gangs, Hubologists, and mutated animals plague the surrounding area making it inaccessible to weak or crudely armed travelers.

Appearances

San Francisco appears only in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes

San Fran shuttle unused

Pressing 5 at the San Francisco map will bring you to a location with a "UNUSED ART" room - shuttle interior. Attempting to examine certain things will have you see a Shuttle wall. There is no way to exit out of this area other than using an earlier save.[verified]
