There really isn't any lore about Hawaii in the Fallout universe. It's mentioned in Fallout: Tactics apparently, but I have no information on what that information entailed as I've never played Fallout: Tactics. People on Reddit seemed to talk about a project just like this a while ago. My apologies if it just happened to also be you.

Appreciate it very much ! ive been thinking of this idea for about a month now. The basic concept of it is finding a place where the bombs did't really affect as much as they did the rest of the world

There's virtually no lore on Hawaii so you can do whatever you want.

My suggestion:

Make something well, productive. Have Honolulu be hit, because it would, but have Hawaii be the rally point for the American Navy in the Pacific after 2077, maybe with surviving US soldiers from mainland China. Have it be rebuilt, under Enclave auspices or no (their oil rig is relatively close), and have that last bastion of the USA thriving as best it can having to fend off pirates on floating cities and traders from all around the Pacific Rim, with NCR diplomats and lots of quests and intrigue.

I could use something that's completely different from Fallout 4.

This is a wonderful idea! just a few questions about it. Should the US soldiers already know about the enclave or should they be introduced to them when the player arrives

It would really depend on the Enclaves sphere of influence and reach. If the they would about he Enclave on the West Coast then they would definitely know about them on Hawaii if U.S Soldiers still existed there or the U.S in general. They probably would have sent expeditions all the way to D.C if they had the tech and oil to. If you had even one of those old warships still I am sure they could have already been to D.C and back with the talk of Nuclear Tech being so prevalent. However, if I was a soldier after the bombs dropped and found Hawaii mostly unscather (by the explosion) I would probably want to go back home and find my family. So I would assume something would need to keep the people of Hawaii there. Maybe a constant hurricane, orders from the old U.S government, or maybe even just fear of the homeland? You would definitely need some reason they couldn't have gone back home. Maybe all of the warships were damage beyond repair and turned into some kind of floating city off the coast of Hawaii? Maybe the islands themselves were radioactive nightmares with things worse then deathclaws wandering them >.> maybe even as an easter egg have one named Godrilla appear somewhere hidden in. I love easter eggs and things to find that aren't pointed out to me.

Sounds like a too big of a project that will never see the light of day.

Aim small, miss small.

But you can never get to the big projects without dreaming first and trying to see what you can do right? I say it's a good idea to at least think about it and see what you can accomplish before you defeat yourself.

Well, in the fanfic lore I was writing (take that for what it's worth) I had it that Control Station Enclave was always the COMMAND center for Enclave forces, but that the Enclave had summoned all remnants of the US Navy to Hawaii in late 2077 and using whatever assets they could find (Navy assets, Marines taken off Pacific Island bases, some mainland armed forces refugees) to rapidly reclaim the Hawaiian Islands, using soldiers as peacekepers and using Sierra Madre style replicators on board the Navy vessels to keep the surviving population fed and medically adequate until new infrastructure could be built a few months/years later.

 

The way I envisioned it is that the Enclave had Always seen Hawaii as a test case for a post-war America built to their specifications. Because of the ludicrously lethal Black Rain of 2077, which killed nearly everyone canonically, the survivors of the military felt they had no families to return to, and built new lives. What became of Hawaii is a verdant, slightly mutated, but mostly intact version of the Hawaii we know, with society as repressive and jingoistic and authoritarian as the pre-war United States, a shiny retrofuture cyberpunk hell of elitism and corporate scheming.

 

Unfortunately for the Enclave, distopia is hard and the Hawaiian as a whole came to highly resent the Enclave's heavy handed control of the island chain. Only the most ideologically committed were permitted to join the Enclave's ranks leaving an island were the government was universally despised and elections were a sham. When the oil rig was blown up, their was a popular revolution on the island, led by the sailors of the still existing fleet, and the Enclave and it's minority of supporters were kicked out, first shipped to Navarro then to various government Vaults across the country. This is why the Enclave seems to have lots of soldiers at it's disposal: a substantial minority of Hawaii's post-industrial size population was exiled and compared to any given settlement in the Wasteland, that's a huge amount of people.

 

So the people there consider themselves Americans full stop, have a functioning state government and large population, enough to rival but not beat the NCR. They also have the US fleet, although they can't replace any of the ships and there's really no naval threat they need to counteract. They are isolated, but sitting pretty. They'd like to reform the US, starting with NCR, but whether or not NCR wants to be America or not is an open question.
