The Vault was an installation located fifty floors beneath the ground, near Salt Lake City, Utah. The Vault contained a museum with Henry van Statten's private collection of alien artefacts. Part of this vault was called the Cage. It was protected by security divisions such as Red Division and Blue Division. The Vault employed over 200 people before a single Dalek slaughtered most of them in 2012.

Artefacts in the collection, (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) named the Van Statten Collection, (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"Everything Changes","page":"147","chaptnum":"3","1":"The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"}) included a Bronze Dalek (which nicknamed "Metaltron"), the head of a Cyberman, a milometer from the Roswell crash, the arm of a Raxacoricofallapatorian which Rose believed to be a Slitheen, a compression field, a Xenomorph egg, an Earth reptile head, an ape-man head, an alien lizard, a giant beetle and various meteorites.

After her overthrow of her boss, van Statten's former aide Diana Goddard ordered the Vault to be filled with cement, and sealed away forever. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"])
