Vault 75

Vault 75 is a Vault-Tec Vault located in the Commonwealth.

Background
Located underneath the Malden Middle School, this Vault was presented to the public as a safe place for children in the school to take cover in the event of a nuclear war.

In fact when the war began in 2077, the children with their designated families and teachers entered in time. However, while all of the children were escorted to the atrium, the adults were separated and killed by Vault security. The purpose of this Vault was to enhance the gene pool of its selected residences to create stronger and more intelligent subjects. The surviving children were tested mentally and physically as part of the experiment. If they were intelligent and physically well built, they were either "harvested" for their good genes when they turned 18 or those with good intelligence and obedience were recruited to the vaults science team after graduation. The others were disposed of. The others who were deemed insufficient to the vault's standards were killed upon reaching the age of 18 prior to graduation. However, details found in the various terminals suggest that even those who were "graduated" were killed after harvesting. The mission of Vault 75, above all, was the refinement of human genetics.

At some point the Vault was opened and emptied. Some internal log entries suggest there was a rebellion amongst the junior test subjects, aided by a "graduate" scientist. Whatever the case, in 2287 there are no residents remaining, and the Vault is serving as a hidden Gunners stronghold.

Layout
The entrance is a standard vault entrance. An elevator will take the player character down into the actual vault. Entering the elevator will activate the quest Vault 75. The entire vault is heavily populated with Gunners, but may be full of both the Brotherhood or Synths and the Gunners in a battle within the vault.The Atrium consists of two floors; on the upper floor the player character will find a classroom, two dormitories and the entrance to the overseers office. On the lower floor of the atrium the player character will find the kitchen and canteen area. To the south there is a cave with the vault's power generators. Going through the corridors to the west from the atrium you will find a cave with a diner; this is a combat simulation area. The simulation can be activated using the terminal.

Behind the scenes
In the western residential room on the mezzanine floor, there are four wooden blocks arranged in the name "Gary", a reference to Gary clones from Vault 108 in Fallout 3. Another set is located beneath the walkway into the vault behind some crates.
