[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/secretservice_4.png]]
The security detail of Vault 79, descended from the pre-war US government agency of the same name.
----
* AllohistoricalAllusion:
** The Secret Service is still part of the Department of the Treasury in this game, whereas in real life it was transferred to the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 (thus implying 9/11 never happened in Fallout's universe).
** Their assignment to protect the gold reserves at Vault 79 harks backs somewhat to the agency's original job of investigating counterfeit currency.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Unlike the Secret Service in ''Fallout 2'', who were explicitly part of the Enclave, the Secret Service's operations in Appalachia appear to have no direct connection to the Enclave, if Slick's lack of awareness of the President evacuating to the Poseidon Oil Rig is any indication.
* {{Pun}}: Vault 79's number is derived from the atomic number for gold.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: Their agents executed "vigilant citizen" Flavia Stabo in the summer of 2077 when she got too close to the Vault, burying her remains in a shallow grave just outside the Vault's entrance.
* SubterraneanSanityFailure: The agents gradually retreated into their own sections of the vault after it was sealed, and barely spoke to each other before Mercy fell pregnant with Maggie and they banded together to raise her.
* SunglassesAtNight: All its agents constantly wear sunglasses despite spending most of their time in a Vault.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SimonTempleman
The Agent in Charge of the operations in Vault 79 and the leader of the Secret Service in Appalachia.

Vault 79's liaison officer.
----
* MinoredInAssKicking: While he is an accomplished field agent, he prefers to resolve things diplomatically if possible, unlike the other agents who tend to "shoot first, arrest later".
* OnlySaneEmployee: Ridicules the Secret Service's attempts to restore the gold standard despite the collapse of civilization, as well as the organization's continued existence in general, considering there's no longer a president to protect or any kind of federal government to serve. He only remains loyal to the organization because he prefers remaining in Vault 79 to living out in the wasteland.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CristinaVee
Vault 79's head of security.
----
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Downplayed; despite not being a social butterfly, Mercy often found herself making excuses to visit the other agents every so often just to hear another human's voice.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maggie_pita_stern.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelaDietz
An underage Secret Service agent born in the Vault. She is Mercy's daughter.
----
* BrattyHalfPint: Developed a rude attitude, which earned her the nickname "PITA" (pain in the ass).
* ChildOfForbiddenLove: She is regarded as this by Regs, who considered her conception a breach of regulations.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Inverted; Maggie hates being called "PITA" to her face.
* GroinAttack: Despite their overall good relationship, she once punched Slick in the nuts just for laughing at her.
* JerkassToOne: Inverted; Slick is the only agent besides her mother that she gets along with.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Was the result of an unplanned pregnancy in the Vault. Mercy never revealed who the father was and none of the male agents claimed Maggie as their own; instead, they [[GiveTheBabyAFather all decided to co-parent Maggie together]] alongside her mother.
* TheGunfighterWannabe: Downplayed; Mercy had to confiscate Maggie's bullets after a bot pissed her off and she tried to shoot it, but Mercy insists that Maggie will go far in the post-nuclear world if she can keep her alive long enough.
* YoungGun: Already has experience using a silenced 10mm pistol (Mercy first taught her how to shoot when she was only four years old), and says her mom is planning to give her a scoped .44 pistol for her birthday as well.
* YouTalkTooMuch: Holds this opinion of several wastelanders, including the Resident.

Vault 79's requisitions officer. Sells rare plans to the player for gold bullion.
----
* DeskJockey: Unlike Mercy or Slick, he is not field agent material; however, his strictness with rules makes him a highly accomplished requisitions officer.
* DoubleMeaning: His nickname "Regs" is short for both "Reginald" (his first name) and "regulations" (reflecting his adherence to rules and generally by-the-book way of life).
* FantasticRacism: Wanted Digger dead after he became a ghoul, insisting he wasn't human anymore.
