Virtual Strategic Solutions Inc., also known as Virtual Strategic Systems (abbreviated VSS Inc.), was a pre-War company.

Before the war, Virtual Strategic Solutions worked as a private contractor for the U.S. Army, developing virtual training aids for various combat situations. The company installed the Anchorage Reclamation Simulation in a Washington, D.C. facility. It was also responsible for installing a VR system in the Mount Desert Island Naval Facility which was later overwritten by DiMA to serve as secure storage for memories he did not have adequate space for over time.^[1]^[2]

According to a member of the Appalachian Enclave, Virtual Strategic Solutions was the subject of a conspiracy theory that it was responsible for creating a simulation designed to subdue the entire population of Earth in its "game."^[3]

“OUTCAST OUTPOST: A side faction of Brotherhood Outcasts, under Protector McGraw's leadership, is currently attempting to scavenge this underground weapons depot that used to belong to the VSS corporation.”— Tour of Operation: Anchorage

Virtual Strategic Solutions is mentioned in the Fallout 3 DLC Operation: Anchorage, the Fallout 4 DLC Far Harbor, and in Fallout 76.

DiMA: "As a prototype synth, my... raw data capacity is limited. I began using computer banks to expand. To give me room to ponder. See new things. I had to leave some of my earliest memories behind when I left the sub base to the Children of Atom. I thought they were safe."
