Tim Cain, co-creator of the original Fallout in 1997, has revealed the real reason Vaults were created.
In a new episode of the YouTube series Cain on Games, Cain explains that the Vaults were originally created for more than just ensuring that humanity could repopulate the Earth. When they fashioned the vaults, “said the head of The Enclave and the highest levels of government ‘let’s build a starship and take it to nearby stars.’ But that would take forever, so it would have to be a multi-generation starship, and the only technology we know how to build is nuclear, so we could make a nuclear power plant that would help us build a starship for hundreds of years, but we don’t know how to do anything else. So the Vault-Tec director, who’s not a big person, says, ‘Why don’t we use the vaults to figure out what technology we need on the ship?'”
So, as you may have guessed from playing the games, each vault was not only designed to keep people alive, but they were also created to test out another piece of experimental technology that could aid humanity’s great exodus to the stars.

“I always thought the vault that created Vault City in Fallout 2 was a control vault,” Cain continued. “It was designed to do everything right. It gave Vault-Tec a purpose beyond just ‘let’s save some of the American population and then drop them back into a radioactive death zone.’ That’s what makes no sense. To do the vaults of technological experimental beds with the purpose of creating a multi-generational starship to take our best and brightest off Earth if there is a nuclear war – that made sense.”
