Vault 111

Vault 111 is one of the vault series of fallout shelters developed by Vault-Tec. This vault is located near Sanctuary Hills, Massachusetts.

Background
Vault 111 was constructed to observe the effects of long-term cryogenic stasis on unsuspecting test subjects (most of whom were residents the nearby town of Sanctuary Hills). Due to the nature of this experiment, the Vault was assigned only a skeleton crew of scientists and guards. The staff were only supplied for 180 days, with directions to evacuate upon receiving an all-clear signal from Vault-Tec or after the inital 180 days from when the bombs fell. After evacuation of staff, the test subjects were to be monitored remotely by the company.

However, as the staff soon discovered, no all-clear signal was forthcoming. As supplies dwindled, the vault's security team led a mutiny against the Overseer, planning to open the vault door and escape. The Overseer states in his logs that opening the Vault door 180 days after a nuclear detination would be certain death and refused to comply with the demands. The Overseer then locked himself in his office with a few other Vault-Tec scientists, ordering everyone hand over their weapons, medicine and food supplies by the end of the day or there 'would be consequences.' The Security team rushed the Overseer's office with intentions of battling their way out of the vault.

The ensuing firefight killed many, and any survivors presumably left the vault. The fate of these men and women is unknown, although it is highly likely that they died soon after leaving. The test subjects, frozen in their pods, remained untouched for over a century.

Layout
Unlike other vaults, the entrance to Vault 111 not only has an atypical pneumatic hull, but also acts as a hatch which gives way to an interior elevator. The inner door is seen to open first, followed by the hatch opening. While painted in the prelude, the vault door is seen to be characteristically rusted and dull after the Great War. Notably, there was a security checkpoint, a trait other vaults seemed to lack.

Vault 111 is shown to have advanced technology, with the obvious presence of cryo-pods. Since there was a limited amount of these pods, the vault has developed some areas for recreational use.

After the release of the Sole Survivor, the vault is shown to be in shambles after neglect. Frozen mummified corpses are seen in the pods, skeletal remains of some of the killed occupants are scattered around the interior with hints of violence. Radroaches have also invaded the vault.
