FEV Curling-13 (Enclave Variant)

Mutations & FEV · Source: Fallout 3 Raven Rock terminal entries

Overview

FEV Curling-13 is a refined strain of the Forced Evolutionary Virus developed by the Enclave for its biological weapons program. It represents the Enclave's attempt to control and weaponize FEV. The strain's development continued the darkest research of the pre-war era.

Origin & Mechanism

The Enclave, inheriting pre-war government research, refined FEV at facilities like Raven Rock, producing specialized strains including Curling-13. The strain was engineered for more controlled mutation outcomes than the original West Tek virus. Its development involved experiments on unwilling subjects.

Effects & Symptoms

Curling-13 was designed to produce specific mutation profiles, with researchers cataloging subject responses. Its effects were intended to support the Enclave's plans for a purified humanity, eliminating those deemed impure. The strain's instability led to dangerous outcomes in testing.

Wasteland Significance

The Enclave's FEV work, including Curling-13, represented the post-war continuation of genocidal pre-war science. The Brotherhood of Steel's campaigns against the Enclave were driven in part by these horrors. The strain remains a cautionary example of weaponized genetics.

Notable Appearances

FEV Curling-13 is documented in Fallout 3's Raven Rock terminal entries. The strain is one of several Enclave FEV projects detailed in the base's records.
