Fort Crockett is a government reservation on Galveston Island overlooking the Gulf of Mexico originally built as a defense installation to protect the city and harbor of Galveston and to secure the entrance to Galveston Bay, thus protecting the commercial and industrial ports of Galveston and Houston and the extensive oil refineries in the bay area. The facility is now managed by the US NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, and hosts the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Laboratory, the Texas Institute of Oceanography, as well as some university facilities. The area still contains several historical buildings and military fortifications.

  • Fort Crockett or The Alamo, as it was once known, has long since stood as a symbol of Texas' history and as a symbol of defiance against authoritarianism, even in the face of insurmountable odds. In the Post-war days the Alamo has become the location of a mid-size trading and ranching community, keeping themselves safe from the hostile Press Gangs, tribals, and the various other dangers of San An from behind the ancient walls of the Alamo Mission.
