The Vault 15 Squatters are a faction near Vault 15 in Fallout 2.
Background
The area above Vault 15 is inhabited by a group of individuals from several different places who had previously been homeless. The squatters are led by Zeke, who helped set up a settlement called the Squat.[1] The squatters were involved in a conflict with the New California Republic, who wanted access to the vault.[2] A man named Darion offered to help them repair the vault so they could become completely self-sufficient and resist the NCR's advances indefinitely.[3] The squatters agreed to this plan and allowed Darion and his men entrance to the vault.
Darion appeared to be holding up his part of the bargain as food, water, and medical supplies were provided to the squatters, proof that he was successfully fixing the vault's systems. Some of the squatters began to disappear and when the Chosen One came to the squat, Rebecca approached them about her missing daughter, Chrissy. She voiced her suspicions about the situation and asked for help, a quest that ended up aiding them with their mission of finding a way into the vault. After the revelation of Darion as the leader of the New Khans, the squatters accepted the assistance of the NCR in return for Vault access.[4]

Chrissy: "{120}{}{In a nutshell, my name is Chrissy and I'm from the Squat. I was out exploring last week when I found that entrance out there. I thought it might be an abandoned mine or something, so I decided to check it out. Well, it's not a mine; it's a secret entrance into Vault 15. The vault is being used as a base for a band of raiders called the Khans. They caught me snooping around and their leader, Darion, had me locked up in here.}"
"{135}{}{The people of the Squat are protecting these guys by helping them keep the vault a secret, but they don't know what's really going on here. Darion told us that the vault was being repaired so we could have a safe place to live with lots of food and water, but it's all a lie. I've been in there and looked around. The vault is dead, and the food and water machines don't work. Our food and water's been coming from the spoils of raids against caravans.}"
"{136}{}{Look, I've got to go home and warn everyone about what's really going on here. We can't help these monsters. Will you take me home?}"
