The population needed to be reduced anyway to keep enough resources to construct such massive ships. So vaults are testruns to find the best ships designs and how to overcome long term isolation. Without lightspeed it would take the Enclave centuries to reach the nearest stars. Keep in mind Vaults are experiments for generation spaceships.

It's an experiment in how to use radio-active resources and make them save either by cleaning or adapting the population. There is barely enough for 5 years, after that the population is forced to move outside to find food. It's overstocked on radiation meds and suits. This vault is set to open 5 years after the bombs. The vautdoors have a biolock that requires the user to have the genetics of all four groups, if such a person is ever born. The experiment is watching how long it takes for groups to interbreed. Along the inhabitants are colonies of rodents and the pestcontrol-system is set to ignore rodents. Asians got female cats, afro americans got male cats, europeans got female dogs and latino's got male dogs. And please, do not interfere with any canon material.Ī vault split in 4 sides, each filled with a etnicity and pet. Keep in mind that it doesn't have to open at all, but please include a good reason for it. Now I want you guys to come up with your own vault ideas!Ī good vault description should include the following: Vault number, location in the U.S., a dark experiment designed specifically for that vault, equipment assigned to that vault (lab equipment, G.E.C.K., special clothing, etc.), and a year for when the vault opens.

Experiments involved mutation, cloning, separation of people according to race and gender, etc. But they had darker intentions in mind, the vaults were actually designed to conduct experiments on their population. The population quickly booked spaces in these vaults, entering with promises of repopulating the American wasteland. Government, in cooperation with Vault-Tec, created 122 underground bunkers called vaults, that allowed people to live in them until they had to leave on a specified year.
