Nation/Group Name: United Protectorate of Vault Tec
Nation/Group Timeline:
- Vault Tec Annexes Vault 3, Vault 11, and Vault 21. Integration is going well with the aid of loyalty inspectors from Vault 14, and being allowed to take on the role of full Vault citizens.
- Vault 21 opens a section of the Vault as a casino-hotel for the 'authentic pre war experience' in a high class resort setting to make it one of the wealthier Vaults of the UPVT
- An Expedition lead by the PMV Valdez goes north to Anchorage for one of the largest salvage operations ever conducted. Thousands of small arms are acquired, a handful of busted stealth suits, pre war artifacts, Chimera derricks, and even some refined oil. The refineries are leveled by the guns of the Valdez after salvage
- A meeting between a Special Tribunal of the Overseer's Council and President Warwick ends in tensions between the Soviets and the UPVT
- The New Columbian government declares war upon the USSS. Protests and work stoppages force an ultimatum to be sent out demanding peace be offered to the USSS. This rejected offer causes war to break out between the UPVT and New Columbia.
- A S.H.A.D.E. forces its way into Shasta Dam, destroying their artillery guns, anti aircraft gun, and power generators. In retaliation, the Shasta Defense Fleet attacks Red Bluff with the intent to open the canals of New Columbia to attack.
Special Projects:
Armoured Train Project: A simple project to mount artillery, machine guns, and armour on a train chassis as of the New Columbian-Vault war there was only one prototype active
Project Gustav: A project voted in by the Overseer committee to provide super heavy artillery guns, still in the early planning stages by the start of New Columbian-Vault war, but with eventually plans to recreate the gun told of by their history books, both heavy and superheavy railway guns.
Bay Bridge Construction Project: Simply a recreation of the Bay Bridge, construction is majorly underway with support from taxes and forges across the Protectorate. It would host a train line, and three lanes of traffic. This would replace the SF ferry, but had to be put on hold for the New Columbian-Vault war as steel was made scarce by production.
Chimera Recreation Project: Vault 53 is engaging in a project to copy and build new examples of Chimera Armored vehicles with a variety of weapons including flamethrower variant, and infantry support variant.
Artillery Production: Though far in the past for the Vault Tec leaders of 2243, their ancestors mastered artillery production in both rocket, and gun form, allowing them to mass produce these artillery guns and rocket batteries.
Shasta Dam Re-Fortification Efforts: Started in 2174, the fortification of Shasta Dam are among the greatest outside the Soviet Union, with overlapping layers of trenches, barbed wire, pillboxes, artillery guns, and an anti aircraft cannon. These were damaged by Concord, as well as the dam's power generators, but rebuilding has begun even in the Vault-Columbian War
Ambitions:
Annexation of Vault City: The citizens of one of the northern control Vaults have set up an economic powerhouse called Vault city, and the UPVT seeks to... Correct their sovereignty, but not by force.
The Eternal Quest: As always, Vault Tec shall seek out more Vaults along the west coast to join their feudal state, using their traders that sail the coastline, and offering a standing bounty for information that leads to new Vault.
Echoes of the Ancien Régime: With upland representation in very short supply, and the war causing many to question the rights and privileges of the Overseers. It was this when a grand compact was made, a special committee made to advise the Overseers. A Confessor of Atom, AHS-7, Lama, Bishop, and Rabbi were each called upon to sit upon the Council of Clergy, calling upon their followers to fight in a Holy War in exchange for this adversary position.
A Power Beyond Mortals: It has been rumored within the UPVT that some uplanders with mutations have expressed... fantastical powers. These uplanders are exceedingly rare, but a bounty will be placed upon capturing them, and they shall be used in a special Psy Corp to aid the UPVT militarily.
Shadows of the Occult: While many within the Overseer Council show no interest in the powers beyond the veil, there are some within the Raider Nations of Neo Jose and Vault 36 that have taken to the study of ancient totems for blessings of a most uncommon kind on the battlefield. Those within those cities seek more knowledge, and power over these deep old ones they seek.
A Just End to an Unjust War: Though they seek no land from the New Columbians in the war they fight, they seek to destabilize the democratic nation enough to fracture it, though they will settle for halting the invasion of the USSS.
Taking Up the Vault Dweller's Burden: Many within Neo Jose, Vault 16, and Neo Fransisco speak of reuniting with their ancestral kin. The Overseer foresees a vast Asian Empire with their mighty metal ships plowing the waves from Osaka to Brunei and Melbourne. While such an Empire would take a great deal of time to truely establish, through the use of trading posts, energy weapons, and power armour, they foresee great success at extracting spices, elephants, and uranium from East Asia.
While Others Squabble for Earth...: With the help of the USA, Enclave, and Vault 53, repairing the U.S.S. Quetzil is a real possibility in the not too distant future.
Volkswagen: A dream of the UPVT from the youngest of nations, they are the true descendents of America, and see automobiles as their birthright. With 200 years of experience in repair Vault 53 calls now the time to build anew!
