Tim Cain, one of the creators of the Fallout series, has “set the record straight” on the true, original purpose of the series’ famous vaults.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel, embedded below, Cain revealed the idea behind the vaults and their various dastardly experiments was to help scientists figure out how humans might survive interstellar travel – an idea he conveived after Fallout 1 came out in 1997.
Deciding there would be “no earth to come back to” in the event of a nuclear war, the head of the Enclave and the US government hatched a plan to build a starship that would take “our best and brightest” to a distant solar system in the hope of colonising a suitable planet.
