Peace Vaults

The Peace Vaults were created by the United Nations in order to neutralize the self-destructive potential of a gigantic nuclear arsenal without actually destroying the bombs. All weapons of mass destructions, including thermonuclear weapons, were locked in the vaults until they were re-opened in 2116 to serve as ammunition for the Earthling Cruisers being built in Detroit to fight the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za. The creation of these vaults was a response to the Small War of 2015, in which nearly a million people died by these weapons.
