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.[11] 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.[12]
Vega was occupied by the Word of Blake during the Jihad; in late August 3075 forces from Clan Ghost Bear arrived and launched a campaign to liberate the planet, ignoring all hails from Draconis Combine forces.[9][10]
After the Jihad, Vega was one world ceded to the Republic of the Sphere. It was made the capital world of Prefecture I. In 3131 Draconis Combine agents triggered a massive economic depression on the world by causing a massive bank collapse. Over the next year the local government worked to restart the economy, but the HPG blackout and death of the planetary governor and destruction of the government complex by a militia fighter packed with explosives derailed these plans.[13] An assault by the 3rd New Samarkand Regulars was repelled in 3133,[14] but cost the defenders their popular leader. Vega broke down into a series of armed camps headed by various Warlords.[7]
Clan Ghost Bear sent their Omega Galaxy to Vega to help stabilize the world. By 3136 the situation had calmed, and the Ghost Bears were well on their way to re-establishing a functional government. The Draconis Combine sent the 44th Benjamin Regulars to take the world, but the Bears and Vegan defense forces were able to repel the DCMS forces. The Combine then sent the 44th Benjamin and the 5th Sword of Light to take the world. This time they were repelled by the Bears, Vegan defense force, and the 12th Vegan Rangers mercenary unit. The 12th Vegan Rangers later accepted an offer to become a permanent part of the Vegan Protectorate.[7]
