Vault 101 Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has
faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its
environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic
war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101
enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant
Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match
for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake
to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort
and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only
home youve ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh
Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.
