The Cold War refers to a sustained, lengthy state of political and military unrest between global powers after the end of World War II. It is distinguished from "hot" war, a large scale armed conflict between two competing states.

Originally known as 'Site R,' Raven Rock was designed at the beginning of the Cold War as a shelter for top military officials. It has served as the base of operations for the Enclave since the government's remaining forces retreated there. This is only accessible during Main Quest: The American Dream; it is otherwise impenetrable. The following section reflects the order you will visit each interior location."
