### Ellington Field

![Ellington Field](../Assets/ellington-field-ruins.jpeg)

Ellington Field is a significant location in the Gulf Coast Wasteland, especially due to its historical and strategic
importance. Here's more information about Ellington Field and its role in the post-apocalyptic setting:

Pre-War History:
#### Pre-War History

Ellington Field, located to the southeast of Houston, was originally an active military installation used by the United
States military and NASA. It served as a hub for aerospace and aviation activities.
Before the Great War, the field was home to various military units, aviation schools, and research facilities. It played
a crucial role in supporting space exploration missions, as well as military training and operations.
Post-Apocalyptic Transformation:

Some members of the Enclave, a secretive pre-war organization that had infiltrated the US Government and Military, were
stationed at Ellington Field. It was here that they conducted covert operations including the sabotage of the Vault-Tec
mining facility on the Moon prior to the Battle of the Sea of Tranquility.

#### Post-Apocalyptic Transformation

In the aftermath of the Great War, Ellington Field experienced a significant transformation. The once-thriving military
and aerospace hub fell into disrepair and disuse.
The field's runways and hangars, while still standing, have deteriorated over the years, and many of its buildings have
become shelter for survivors, scavengers, or even small factions.
While some of the old military equipment and aircraft may remain in various states of disrepair, they are often
cannibalized for spare parts or repurposed for makeshift defenses.
Faction Interests:
#### Faction Interests

Ellington Field has attracted the attention of various factions in the Gulf Coast Wasteland due to its strategic
location, historical significance, and potential resources.
