- The Vaults were designed to reopen after 200 years, but many suffered from technical difficulties, overcrowding, or even social experiments gone wrong.
- Vault-Tec's true purpose was to conduct secret experiments on the Vaults' inhabitants, manipulating the environment, and controlling the population to study the effects of isolation and radiation on human behavior.
