"Interesting?" Heh. Friend, Vault City ain't an "interesting" place...unless the guards get bored, then you better take cover.
”— John CassidyVault City is a high-tech settlement in West Nevada, established by the inhabitants of Vault 8 after the Great War, which is best known for their medical technology, most advanced within the Core Region. By 2281, it's part of the New California Republic.

[edit] Location
Vault City can be found twenty-one squares east and four squares south of Arroyo.
[edit] Background
[edit] Vault 8
Vault 8 was one of the few control vaults[1] that had no experiment connected with and it functioned almost exactly to the residents' expectations. Shelter was designed to house a hundred or so people. Vault-Tec to ensure a good future for vault planned that place would have two GECK's. Due to logistical errors of the government Vault 8 received a shipment with hundreds of water chips that was meant to go to Vault 13, which received additional GECK.[2] In 2091, 17 years after Great War vault received the all-clear signal and the Overseer ordered the opening of the Vault.[3] While many citizens were responsible for monitoring the surface sensors,[4] the "all-clear" signal was sent by the Enclave,[5] no one was aware of this probably due to low radiation in the area.
[edit] Vault City
In the following years Vault City was built through the hard work and suffering of many people.[6] By using their only GECK combined with power from Vault 8's fusion generator they created fertile grounds and buildings.[7] In 2092 Richard Moreau was exiled for murder. The details of the murder are unknown and judging from the hypocrisy filling Vault City, the entire incident is questionable.[8] In 2101 the Overseer retired and a Council of Citizens was established. The Council appointed the initial First Citizen.[9]
Years after residents of Vault 8 emerged, the shelter was used primarily as a medical center, the best available in post-war America. From the beginning Vault City is one of the most advanced faction in the wasteland, possessing cutting edge medical technology, allowing it to mass produce medical supplies and chems (such as super stimpaks) as well as perform radiation removal and sophisticated surgical procedures, including replacement of lost limbs and organs via cloning[10] and grafting armor plating to one's skeleton.[11] It is the only place that have information about the combat implant schematics. Vault City quickly became an important part of Big Circle caravan trail.[12]
In 2232 Leonard Boyarsky was exiled for murder and unauthorized research. The research allegations revolved around some tampering with the pregnancy cycles in the Auto-Doc that apparently put all of Vault 8 in danger, but the details were deleted from the Vault 8 computer.[13]
[edit] NCR expansion and trouble with Gecko
In 2235 the town of Gecko is founded. Later that year the nuclear power plant became operational, Vault City looks upon their new neighbors with growing concern.[14] Within a few years, the wastes from the power plant led to the poisoning of the local groundwater.[15] Any person who drinks water from the wells contracts radiation sickness,[16] in the future this may lead to sterility and/or chromosomal damage.[17] As a result of radiation there is no pregnancies from intercourse[18] and one of the citizen was born with natural radiation resistant, but he was treated like dirt by other citizen and he finally decided to leave.[19] Although the ghouls tried to contact with Vault City, they always been shoot on sight.[20]
The expanding NCR considered Vault City a fantastic candidate for inclusion into its growing organism, however, offers of joining were repeatedly declined, with Vault City preferring to stay independent. With no progress being made on the diplomatic side, the NCR Congress approved a secret initiative intended to force Vault City to join. The person selected to carry out this campaign of terror against Vault City was John Bishop of New Reno, who later employed mercenaries to act as raiders and regularly attack Vault City to eventually force it into NCR's hands. In 2239 Thomas Moore, an NCR agent comes to Vault City and becomes one of its citizens. After one year he changed politically, actively seeking to convince the Citizens of Vault City to turn to democracy.[21] As a result of his actions he is treated like an idiot, not as citizen, despite the passing years no one takes his words seriously about democracy.[22] Although his demagogy was not effective, he did manage to steal some Vault City technology.[23]
In February 2241 Vault City rejects offers of an alliance with both the Bishop family of New Reno and the NCR.[24] In March, raider attacks on caravans to Vault City begin.[25] The NCR has been getting more aggressive in their attempts to get Vault City to join the Republic, telling Vault City Councillors, if they were to join, the NCR would be able to defend Vault City from the raider attacks.[26] Due to refusals to NCR, with the passage of time raider attacks have become more brutal.[27] Finally, during their last attack, they disabled a laser turret on the western perimeter. Despite having a clear shot into the city, they were ordered to fall back by one of there "captains". This made no sense to Sergeant Stark, who witnessed it.[28] John Bishop under pressure from the NCR, tried to get a current roster of all Vault City's guards. So he could see if he could "get" to one of them with drugs or other "convincing", which he ultimately failed.[29]
[edit] Unexpected visitor
Then the Chosen One came to region. He started close cooperation with Harold and Festus from Gecko and with McClure from Vault City, ignoring Lynette orders to shut down the power plant. Ghouls science abilites combined with informations from vault 8 mainframe along with Vault City parts allowed for repair and optimization power plant. Although it ended radioactive leaks, attitude citizens towards ghouls hasn't changed. Brain, leader of Renewal Cult had key to collaboration, what was Gecko Economic Data, which majority of the information seems to highlight the advantages of a Vault City/Gecko alliance.[30] Holodisk was given to McClure, who persuaded the Council to enter negotiations with Gecko to trade for their power.[31] That became the first step in forging a spirit of cooperation between Gecko and Vault City. Gecko's increased power production became instrumental in helping Vault City's expansion, while Vault City in the gratitude provided a permanent medicine supply for ghouls. The harsh xenophobia of many of Vault City's leaders faded into obscurity while ghoul and human labored side-by-side to create a center of learning and tolerance where once had stood only enmity and distrust.[32]
After solving problem with Gecko, the Chosen One ended the threat of Bishops's mercenaries. He then proved to Lynnete the existence of the NCR/Bishops alliance. With his help, contact between Lynnete and NCR councilman Roger Westin, who was supporter for Vault City independence, was established.[33] Thanks to Roger Westin's actions, there was no more interference or provocation by the NCR towards Vault City.[34] The correspondence between NCR and Vault City continued, and a few years after the destruction of the Enclave, Roger Westin assumed the head of the NCR council. He immediately set limits for NCR's expansion north, and in a landmark settlement, passed an amendment that formally recognized Vault City's independence. Shortly after this settlement, Westin suffered a heart attack and retired from politics. He moved north to Vault City for medical treatment and eventually married Joann Lynette in the following year. In the elections that occurred after the destruction of the Enclave, Senior Council Member McClure was appointed First Citizen and Lynette retired to honorary council member status.[35] Dr. Troy created an antidote for Jet, which quickly spread through the entire California area.[36]
With her new free time, Lynette traveled south to NCR and met the NCR president. She was responsible for much of the legislation that followed in the years between NCR and Vault City.[37] With Lynette's approval for the NCR and with McClure's rational and tolerant government, Vault City finally joined to NCR, the peaceful way.[38][39]
[edit] Layout
[edit] Courtyard
Courtyard is protected by its walls and heavy laser turrets. The courtyard is kept peaceful and protected from the raiders of the wastes by Vault City, but its denizens are subjected to harsh rules and regulations and taxed heavily. All new in town should meet with Chief Greeting Officer Melinda, which shall provide basic information about the Vault City. Little experienced Dr. Andrew for a large fee provide medical care for everyone, which ironically can be deadly to anyone due to broken Auto-Doc. There is a store Happy Harry's where you can buy a weapons and general supplies. Other business is saloon Spitoon, the only place in Vault City where you can get real alcohol. The entire agriculture and brahmin husbandry has a place here.
[edit] Downtown
 | Section needed This section is needed but has not been written yet. You can help The Vault by writing it. |
[edit] Council
The Council where the seat of its government is located. Unsurprisingly, the biggest and most imprtant building is the Central Council, where First Citizen Joanne Lynette and the Council debate on the future of the city and make important decisions. The building houses several libraries as well as the main conference hall and offices of the most important members of the VC society, namely Lynette, her assistant Proconsul Gregory and Senior Councilman McClure. It is, by far, the most well protected location in the city, with guards in metal armour stationed at nearly every turn, ready to open fire at moment's notice. Buildings surrounding the Central Council are for the most part comfortable residential buildings for Vault City's elite, tended to by Servants. Of particular interest is the Parlor Room inn, where the more refined citizens meet to chat and have a drink of some delicious Alcohol-Z.
[edit] Vault 8
Vault 8 was designed as a control group for the vault experiments. Opening thirteen years after the war it still remained in pristine condition by 2241. Every element of the vault is still intact, from the Overseer's chair to the entry door. It is thanks to the Vault's nuclear energy production that Vault City's power is supplied, though its capacity has severely limited the expansion prospects of Vault City. The majority of the vault is now unoccupied and used for storage. Interestingly, the Vault had two sets of doors - massive external blast doors and regular, round Vault-entry door.

Council:
[edit] Organization
The city is ruled by the Council of Citizens, with the Senior Council Member as its head. All decisions about this settlement are taken by the whole council. This council appoints the First Citizen, who is responsible for policy toward other factions. Every council member may grant citizenship, however only the First Citizen can revoke it without any legal actions. Each new member of the council is probably chosen by the council, like the position of First Citizen. Elections for this position takes place every given period of time. The council rules in a completely authoritarian way, controlling every aspect of life within the City. Their regulations are strict and enforced to the full extent of the law. For instance, no drugs, real alcohol (artificial imitations are legal), prostitution, gambling or any other vices are allowed within the inner city. All citizens found breaching any regulations, be it even badmouthing the First Citizen, are usually swiftly incarcerated and reeducated. Non Citizens, who are servants, are forbidden to even look at the city and must stare upon the ground or be punished for setting their impure eyes upon their city.
The citizens aren't much better, as most are extremely bigoted, hypocritical and arrogant, treating outsiders like dirt and leading boring, conformist lives, content with the state of affairs. Although healthy and very well educated, they are also extremely dull and bland, with little to no concern for the outside world. Many do not even venture beyond the protective walls of the city proper.[40]
Every citizen of Vault City has delineated work, on the basis of education they received. With the exception of work, there's not much to do in Vault City.[41] The worst crime that can be committed is murder, this happened twice. The punishment was exile.[42] To uphold the law is the most important ideology of Vault City's government, they pride themselves of their no exceptions policy.[43] Which often leads to a peculiar situation, hypocracy. For example, Troy who is trying to create an antidote for Jet, must smuggle his samples into his lab, because he can't do it legally. After all the rhetoric, the city is very corrupt and a lot of people commit crimes. For example, Lydia is looking for someone who can bring her and her friends in Vault City alcohol.[44] Skeev sells fake citizenship as well. Also abuses of power occur often, for example when Cassidy didn't pay his licensing fee for alcohol for the month, he continually sold it on the premises. As a result Sergeant Stark sent in a guard patrol.[45] They busted down the door, busted up Cassidy's stock, and then busted up a few of his customers,[46] instead of shutting down the bar. When one of the customers (Joshua) resisting apprehension, he was taken away and eventually became a servant. In other words, a slave. Vault City has also a problem with its bureaucracy. To get supplies, everyone must complete a large amount of appropriate lists with many copies.[47] As a result people have to wait months for their delivery,[48] which never contains the right amount of material(s) requested.[49]
While Vault City is a planned community with most pregnancies preformed by the Auto-doc, pregnancies from sexual intercourse are allowed. There is a pregnancy cycle during certain years, which is decided by the Council.[50] Male Citizens donate to the Auto-Doc and the most favorable matches are chosen by the computer. Then the appropriate female Citizen is fertilized by the Auto-Doc.
In the city slavery is legal, however, every slave is called a servant. At all times they must work for the good of the city, clean up and take care of the city's abundant plant life. Anyone who doesn't pay for safety in the courtyard or commits a crime against Vault City sooner or later will become a servant. Vault City residents claim that it's just because they give the servants shelter, food and protection in exchange for their work.[51] However there are people like Thomas Moore who object to this, calling it hypocrisy since they frown at those who openly call it slavery and do slaving.
[edit] Economy
The economy of Vault City is based on exporting medical supplies and technology to other communities in Northern California.[52] The trade passing along the Big Circle caravan trail.[12] Farming and brahmin husbandry takes place in Vault City's courtyard, but this isn't enough to satisfy their demands. The best trading partner of the city is Redding, with Ben Wade overseeing caravans to and from Redding.[53]
Details of trade with other settlements:
Redding - gold[52]
New Reno - gold[52]
New California Republic - mechanical equipment, gold, and various surplus products[52]
Broken Hills - uranium ore[52]
the Den - servants[54]
Modoc - food supplies
[edit] Citizenship
Generally, the only normal way to become a Citizen of Vault City is to be born into it. Personal intervention by a member of the Council can grant a non-citizen citizenship (though this is never done lightly). In addition, non-citizens can take a citizenship test (administered by the Proconsul, in 2241 Gregory), which is intentionally designed to be so difficult as to be virtually impossible by someone not of extraordinary intelligence, perception, and luck. So hard is the test that the majority of born citizens would fail it were they to take it. Some of the subjects covered by it include advanced mathematics, spatial relations, deductive reasoning, language comprehension. A thorough physical exam is also included.[55]
[edit] Relations with the outside
The city is very apathetic towards outsiders, generally considering them thieves and blackguards, however, if an outsider is able to pay the rent, he/she can live in the courtyard of the Vault City, protected by its walls and heavy laser turrets, but with no access to other city services, like the Amenities office or the Vault medical lab, as those are reserved for full citizens. Denizens of the courtyard feel squeezed between the desolate horror of the wastes outside and the suffocating repression of Vault City: they hold both new arrivals from the wasteland and the Citizens of Vault City in contempt. Almost all citizens hates all kinds of mutants, if they see some of them, see as soon as they call the guards. Of course, none of them have access to the city. Despite their antipathy to the outside, the city maintains regular caravan routes with other cities, trading its superior medical technology for raw materials and supplies they can't produce within city limits.
[edit] Day Passes
Day passes are issued to non-citizens able to provide a bona fide reason for entering Vault City. (Examples: slaves, uranium, gold, or gecko pelt traders, diplomats, and non-citizen agents of Vault City.) Day passes allow a non-citizen access to Vault City proper during daylight hours, (8.00am until 6.00pm) but not the original Vault 8 itself. Trading in Amenities Office is also reserved only for citizens.[56] customs office is nominally strict in its rules regarding the issuance of day passes. Every Vault Dweller from other Vault after talking to Wallace, will be granted a immediate access and advise them to go to see First Citizen Lynette immediately.
[edit] Gecko
Vault City and Gecko doesn't maintain any official and unofficial contacts. There is also no trade between towns. Vault City Government looking for a solution of the power plant problem. Lynette offer a job, which is to turn off the power plant, while McClure want to power plant be optimized. Vault City residents believe that the ghouls specially poisoned groundwater, what is obvious act of terrorism against Vault City and they should be punished.[57] They shoot ghouls on sight.
After the nuclear power plant is fixed and optimized McClure persuaded the Council to enter negotiations with Gecko to trade for their power.[31] This results in closely relationship between Gecko and Vault City after 2242 year. Ghouls get medicine supplies for their health from VC, in return the energy from power plant. Ghouls and humans labored side-by-side, which resulted in creating a center of learning and tolerance.
[edit] Redding
Although Redding may appear unassuming it has great economic clout. Redding is northern California's primary producer and distributor of gold. Being the center of gold mining several larger political factions have volleyed for control of Redding to gain dominance in the gold trade. Vault City advocates claim it's the only city that can fully utilize Redding's potential and dismiss any worries that they might turn it into a slave labor camp. Doc Johnson is a staunch supporter of Vault City, turning a blind eye to the obvious mistreatment of non-citizens within its walls. He is one of the potential candidates for the office of mayor and wants to put an end to dependence miners from jet.[58] Although the goal was achieved, Redding and Vault City joined the NCR.
[edit] New Reno
Political contacts limited to conversations between VC Council and Bishops Family about possible alliance, finally rejected by VC. All citizens should avoid New Reno at all costs due to anarchy on streets.[52]
[edit] Broken Hills
Only trade relations. All citizens should avoid Broken Hills at all costs, due to super mutants and ghouls community.[52] While citizens think well about mutants,[59] they still didn't accept them during trade. Caravans from Broken Hills must uses human traders, like Chad.[60]
[edit] Den
Only trade relations. The best place for murderers and thieves according to locals.[61]
[edit] Military Forces
The Vault City Guard is the direct descendant of Vault security team - a Vault police force. Vault City guards act as a universal military force, enforcing the law within town, defending it and securing Vault City perimeter. While small, it is extremely well trained and equipped, able to deal with any threats when supported by laser turrets of the City, save for an all-out siege.
Captain of the Guard is a title granted by the First Citizen of the Vault City to exemplary citizens that have gone above and beyond the call of duty to protect the city's interest and independence. In essence, it is the highest military rank one can hold, giving him full authority over the military might of the Vault City.

- When you enter Vault City for the first time, your reputation is set to Antipathy because the residents see you as another wastelander.
- Each resident may leave the city when he wants, but usually they don't deal well with outside world. Dead citizens can be found in PMV Valdez, in Redding and in Broken Hills.[62] Leonard Boyarsky was robbed and killed in New Reno and Jones was kidnapped, while passing from Vault City to New Reno.[63] Mrs. Bishop on the other hand, fell into alcohol, drugs and the occasional sexual endeavor.
