Vault 1080 is a game mod made by Nvidia for Fallout 4. Meant for showing off how awesome the godrays effect could look on Nvidia hardware, it also tells the story of an unofficial vault with a literally dark purpose for it's residents.

While everything aside from the vault's naming scheme don't conflict with the Fallout canon, Bethseda has yet to ever confirm if it's actually canon, merely giving Nividia their assent to publish it as a game mod.

Tropes used in Vault 1080 include:

• Broad Strokes: While the name does not fit the Vault name scheme lore at all, nothing else about the mod specifically conflicts with Fallout canon in any major way. In fact, assuming it is canon, it's basically an off the books vault that, if we take previous series lore into account, means that Vault-Tec had some idea about how radiation would cause ghoulification even sometime before the Great War, meaning what happened to the residents of Necropolis probably wasn't all that unintentional a side effect.
• Cult: The church the vault is under seems to have been somewhat of a paranoid strain of Christianity, a doomsday cult version to be exact, though their fears of surviving a nuclear war weren't entirely groundless.
• Immortality: What many of the vault residents were expecting to acquire by making a Deal with the Devil with Vault-Tec. They technically got it, just not what they expected it to be like.
• Our Zombies Are Different: The vault residents and the Vault-Tec employees assigned to the Vault referred to process of becoming a ghoul as a "transformation".
