Justice Bloc

The Justice Bloc was the most powerful voting bloc of Vault 11 in Fallout: New Vegas, whose goal was to heavily influence the votes of fellow vault dwellers in the annual overseer elections.

Background
In Vault 11, as the set social experiment, the vault dwellers had to choose a fellow vault dweller to sacrifice each year, or else they would all be killed by the vault computer. But actually, had the vault dwellers refused to sacrifice one of themselves, an "automated solution response" was to be played - the vault dwellers would have been called a "shining example for humanity" and be allowed to leave the vault. Since the original overseer of the vault was the only one who knew about the sacrifice before the vault sealed, the vault dwellers, angry at this betrayal, selected him as the first sacrifice. From then on, the overseer, when his/her term ended, was to enter the "sacrifice chamber" to be executed by the vault's computers. Therefore, a new overseer had to be elected every year.

The Justice Bloc was the largest of many voting blocs who sought to influence the votes of fellow vault dwellers. During the last overseer election, the Justice Bloc threatened to nominate Nathan Stone, husband of Katherine Stone, for overseer if she wouldn't perform sexual favors for their members. It is quite possible that their anger at Nathan Stone originated from his unusual winning streaks during poker games. Despite Katherine complying, the Justice Bloc nominated Nathan anyway. Typically, since the nominees were those who were in notoriety to the community, they would be backed by multiple blocs. However, Nathan's nomination was backed only by the Justice Bloc. Fearing for her husband, Katherine began to take matters into her own hands and began stalking and killing members of the Justice Bloc. Eventually, she was caught. Katherine confessed to her crimes immediately and beyond explaining her motives, she said that by being a serial killer, she would no doubt be elected as overseer so she could terminate the power and influence of the Justice Bloc. Her first act, "Overseer Order 745", decreed that no more shall the sacrifice be the elected overseer, but rather a computer generated number that would correspond to a random vault dweller.

The Justice Bloc severely feared their eventual loss of power, as one of their own members could be selected. They sought to reverse the overseer order and staged an armed coup to achieve this. Eventually, the fighting in the vault killed all but five people. Out of the eventual five, as told by an audio log, four committed suicide with the last survivor's fate unknown.
