How about just having this page redirect to the FEV section of Mutant? Good idea? Dan 10:09, 21 Feb 2005 (GMT)
You can't redirect to sections. And mutant is not the place to describe the history of FEV etc, which should be edited out of that article. Ausir 12:39, 21 Feb 2005 (GMT)

[edit] Inaccurate
Some of the information about FEV origins are not accurate on this page. In short, Pan-immunity Virus Project was developed in order to fight an unspecified Plague that was hitting the US at the time (and which, by the way, was the reason for nation-wide quarantine protocols going into effect at around 2053). It was suspected the Plague was effectively a biological weapon, but nothing definite on that.
Furthermore, PVP was renamed to FEV on 21. March 2075, and it was done by the researchers themselves, not the military. The military was sent in to observe these experiments ("in the interest of national security") much later - on the 3rd of January, 2076.
Testing on chimpanzees (batch 11-111) was conducted on October 4th, 2076. It is not until early January of 2077 (7th, to be exact) when the FEV research is forcibly moved to Mariposa Military Base, where secret human testing begins. The military force stationed there is oblivious to this, though. In October of the same year they find out, though, and stage a revolt (killing chief researcher Anderson in the process). 20. of October, Cpt. Maxson (later to be seen as Brotherhood of Steel leader) declares his (and his team's) full desertion from the military. This all still happened before the bombs fell. :)
I won't do the editing myself, so please use Your genuine Wiki editing skills to do it right (I can't be held responsible ;P).

[edit] "Super" super mutants?
I believe it should be explained what happened to the successfully evolved test subjects -claimed to be superior to humans in every way- in a comprehensible way, or just explained if for nothing else. -kenx
- Some of the ones that didn't lose any of their intellect (and could have actually gained some) appear in FO1, FO2, and FOT: e.g. Lieutenant, Marcus and Toccamatta. Ausir 17:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Germantown Police HQ
If you have a stealthy character, you should enter the German Town Police HQ from the top floor front entrance. Once in, go stealth and break for the room for the immediate left, there should be two Super Mutants talking. You can easily hide behind the counter infront of them and listen for some nice dialogue.

[edit] Soldiers knew about FEV research?
Would the US Army soldiers have known about the FEV research?
[edit] Too speculative?
Would it be too speculative to mention that east coast testing of the F.E.V. might have had differnt results since the poplutaion had had an unique exposure to a radioactive product aka Nuka-Cola Quantum that west coast test subjects had not? (Rifts Juicer 05:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC))
I think Nuka Cola Quantum only shipped to the public immediately before the bombs dropped - whilst there were plenty of testing done with the local population, I dont think this would have made much difference given the relatively low volume of subjects exposed. Good idea though. --203.19.175.113 03:28, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Products of FEV
Is there any list that has all the creatures that are results of the FEV? I know Super Mutants, Centaurs and some Deathclaws were created by or at least were effected greatly by it. And are there any similarities between creatures that have been effected by FEV? --Moltenfungus 01:45, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
