Army that established a security perimeter around the Vault and shuttling the designated residents in using buses.

The Vault was successfully sealed on October 23, 2077, aided by special detachments from the U.S. The upgraded Vault was debuted by Vault-Tec in celebration of America's Tercentenary in 2076. Instead of the standard and generally spartan living quarters, each denizen of the Vault was furnished with a fully-featured apartment including a discrete bedroom, living room, and bathroom, color television sets, and a general quality of life far superior to that experienced by dwellers assigned to other Vaults. Over the course of the project, the Vault received numerous upgrades, including replacing the power supply with a pair of Vault-Tec super-reactors, and a major increase to the standard of life. At some point during construction, Giles Wolstencroft, Vault-Tec's Assistant Chief Executive Officer, was abducted by extra terrestrials while inspecting the site. Its computer control system was Brainpower 4. The Vault had LightLife Geo-Thermal for its primary power supply, and General Atomics Nuclear Power as a secondary power supply. Ĭonstruction began in February of 2065 and ended in October of 2069.

Its Overseer was instructed to ignore standard operating procedures, as Vault 76 was deemed a special project essential to rebuilding the United States in the wake of the nuclear holocaust, and as such, the well-being and livelihood of its denizens were given an absolute priority. After 25 years, in 2102, the Vault would open and the residents would colonize Appalachia. It was designed to house five hundred of America's finest, including students from Vault-Tec University, military members, and a former White House Chief of Staff.

Vault 76 was one of the seventeen control Vaults within the Vault experiment.
