NATIVE SPECIES
Vega IX is a colony world of Earth, first founded in 2106 by a Neo-Separatist group led by Alexander Vanderbilt. The colony grew significantly in the 2020s as a result of Earth Cargo vessels bringing both new colonists and supplies. Because of its distance from Earth, the Vega Colony is considered a nominally independent world.
Archeological reconstruction of Vegan Tyranny territory during the 1960s on Earth
Vega IX has a government similar to Earth, with a Planetary Chancellor, Legislator, and an independent court system. Vega Colony also possesses a small planetary defense force as well as a basic space program. The planet has significant archeological sites, as Vega IX was once the homeworld of the “Vegan Tyranny”, led by a now extinct race which controlled the space around Alpha Lyra from the seventh century until the early 2000s.
