Vault 116

Vault 116 is a vault-series fallout shelter developed by Vault-Tec. Its location is undisclosed

Background
Vault-Tec designed Vault 116 to observe the effects of long-term cryogenic suspended animation on unsuspecting test subjects. Vault 116's staff consisted of an overseer and a small team of scientists, security guards and facility maintenance personnel employed on a short-term basis. Test subjects were lured to Vault 116 placed in stasis pods after being told deceitfully that the purpose of the pods was for decontamination.

Layout
Unlike its similar cryogenic vaults, like Vault 111, it was designed and built to hold more cryogenic chambers at a higher capacity. It was considered to be an Mega-Vault due to its size. It had multiple floors of cryogenic chambers and two floors for staff personnel. It was connected to the [REDACTED] for its long lasting power source and the cryogenic chambers were designed to release its captives after its timer has run out. It was able to run on its own after the vault's personnel departure. When the set date for all cryo-suspended dwellers has been reached, all vault dwellers would be released from their chambers.

The Vault's max capacity of population is rumored to be 5000. It took Vault-Tec over five years to built this vault as a last resort if Vault 111 failed.
