Planetary History
Vega is a world rich in minerals, metallic ores, and fresh water. By the time it joined the Draconis Combine Vega was home to a series of industrial concerns producing everything from medical equipment to armored vehicle components. These businesses were required to follow strict environmental protection laws to support the terraforming process. The success of these terraforming efforts allowed the Vegans to import horses and camels from Terra; These animals thrived in the environment.[1]
After joining the Combine, Vega quickly became important to the Draconis economy. As a signifier of this significance it was made the capital world of the Vega Prefecture. The DCMS established a garrison on the planet as it had been attacked several times by the Lyran Commonwealth.[1]
In 2569, Hehiro Kurita signed the Treaty of Vega, bringing the Draconis Combine into the Star League.[6] Ironically Vega would also be the site of several clashes between the SLDF and DCMS during General Alexandr Kerensky's drive to remove Stephan Amaris from Terra.[7]
The Draconis Combine launched a failed assault to reclaim Vega from the Republic of the Sphere in 3133.[8]
