Vault City

From Old World Blues Wiki

Vault City is the city formed around Vault 8, located in Nevada.

Historical background

Surrounded by seemingly endless desert, Vault City is an oasis amongst the suffering wastes. Despite its beautiful appearance, the city is a corrupt pit of ethnocentric elitism and narcissism. Vault City is the most medically advanced faction in the wasteland, capable of cloning limbs and treating injuries that would be untreatable to others - but this knowledge remains sealed behind their walls.

The former inhabitants of Vault 8 stand at a precipice where they must decide the future of their city state. Whether they continue to spread their name in infamy remains to be seen.

In the past, Vault City was considered the technologically dominant power of the West Coast. However, by 2275, the influence of Arroyo and the emergence of New Vegas have resulted in an imbalance of power throughout the region.[1][2]
