Hopeville and its larger counterpart, Ashton, were isolated towns established in the late 21st century on the border of California and Nevada, tucked away in the remote badlands west of the Mojave Desert. They were built to serve as both a symbol of the American Dream and one of its greatest protectors. On the surface, the towns embodied the ideal American community. White picket fences, family cookouts, and children playing in the streets, creating the image of a peaceful and prosperous place. But beneath that idyllic setting lay an extensive network of nuclear missile silos, built by the Commonwealth Defence Administration's Ballistic Defence Division. Despite constant patriotic propaganda portraying the settlements as shining examples of American ideals, they were built in a geologically unstable region where minor earthquakes were common. Military officials completely dismissed these concerns, blindly confident in the safety of American engineering. The situation became even worse when the U.S. Army made a deal with the Big MT research company, allowing Hopeville to be used as a testing ground for a secret weather control project. In the process, the people living in the area became unwitting guinea pigs for the experiment, enduring heavy rainstorms, high winds, and severe dust storms.

![Vaults Youve [Probably] Never Heard Of | Fallout Lore](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FqQK_GFrxqA/mqdefault.jpg "Vaults Youve [Probably] Never Heard Of | Fallout Lore
The vast underground shelters built by Vault-Tec were said to be a way of ensuring a portion of the American population would be saved in the event of nuclear war. But in truth, most Vaults weren’t built to save anyone. They were experiments, designed to gather data for the Enclave. According to Tim Cain, the plan was to use that data to build a generational star ship to colonise another planet if Earth became uninhabitable. But looking back from 2025, that vision feels less like a plan and more like a fantasy. The Vaults now seem like a playground for the elites, with only a few serving as genuine shelters. Whatever you believe, the Vaults are fascinating. And the ones I’m about to cover are considered, technically, non-canon. They come from cut content, concept art, and development leftovers. But that doesn’t mean they’ll always be non-canon. Fallout has a habit of digging up old ideas, like vault tec wanting to start the great war, something that almost happened in the cancelled fallout movie but was then confirmed in the fallout tv show.
Anyway, most of these Vaults are mysterious. We know almost nothing about them. Some have no known location, others no known purpose. But a few scraps of detail give us something to go on...
