Vault Tec and Space Vaults

[Slim_Cognito]

In the Galactic Zone, we learn that Vault Tec wanted to make vaults in other planets. My guess is that they should already have many vaults scattered across the cosmos.

It seems every Fallout game is setting up Vault Tec to be the Big Bad, the Puppet Masters, the Illuminati of the Fallout Series. Nuka World Galactic Zone is the final straw for me.

They knew about the war and they most likely planned the great war from the start in order to get as many people as they could into different vaults for different experiments.

Vault Tec is probably the only human faction in the fallout universe to have bases outside of earth. They might have a giant super vault somewhere on another planet or maybe even deep underground on earth.

Vault Tec might end up having more powers and more advance tech than even the Enclave, BOS, Big MT, and Insittute combined. I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to capture aliens in their outer space vaults.

Imagine a future Fallout game set on another planet with Vault Tec being the main antagonist or a major faction. We can interact with different human bases, advance alien lifeforms and wild native alien lifeforms etc.

I doubt they got the chance to set up colonies on other planets before the bombs fell, but you're probably right about Vault Tec being the next big bad.

Bethesda tends to leave hints about future games in their current titles (like the Institute showing up in Fallout 3), and Vault Tec has been an overwhelming presence in the background content and terminal lore of Fallout 4.

Since the Vault Tec building in Fallout 3 didn't have its own vault for employees (an odd choice for a major office), they probably have a main vault somewhere, and the next game will most likely involve their motives for the experiments and what they intend to do with all of that data.

Edit: I mean, their supposed 'secret vault' in Texas did show up in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, but Bethesda specifically stated that BoS in its entirety isn't canon. They only made that distinction with BoS, as even Tactics is semi-canon. Now I'm thinking that was a deliberate move in order to use the Vault Tec main vault in a different story, and not just because BoS was a garbage game everybody hated.

There's also the theory that Vault-Tec started the war in the first place.

A Space Vault is a Space Station. Fallout is built around American culture during the Space Age so it stands to reason that a future installment could be set in space. Space belongs to America (as far as people during the Space Age were concerned) so every meteorite, asteroid or planetoid is US soil.

I'm more inclined to think that it was all just a nice bit of creative writing. They melded at least three Disney rides I can think of into one very effective location.

The swirly stars effect on enter/exit was rather reminiscent of the entry to Delta Dreamflight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Dreamflight) where you traveled into a swirling white mass that, if I remember right, was supposed to be similar to the turbines of a jet spinning up.

The internal displays itelf, besides being similar to the one in F03, hit on similar themes and styles as both Spaceship Earth and Horizons from EPCOT. The latter, of note, was about colonizing other planets and was one of the most beloved of the original park attractions.

I thought about this for a bit and I dont think Vault Tec really ever even considered making vaults on other planets.
As far as I can tell, the purpose of vaults was to experiment on people in the hopes it would aid the Enclave in recolonizing earth. So unless the Enclave had considered colonizing a different planet, it doesn't seem like building a vault in space would have any value.

Well, there's almost de facto proof from NW that they knew about the Zetans, maybe they had some captured tech from a Roswell-type encounter and already had some reverse-engineered spacecraft?

Zetans are secretly behind Vault-tec. It's all a ploy to study and analyze humans.
