Vega system: a system scarred by the Vanduul, getting back on its feet

Settled in 2402, Vega grew fast until the Vanduul appeared in neighbouring systems in the late 27th century and much of the population fled. Over the last decade it has been reviving thanks to a stronger military presence, solid infrastructure and cheap land. Read our story of the Aremis attack.
