Vega star system

The **Vega star system** is a pre-charted binary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

Vega still carries the heritage of its scientific fundation and despite many asteroids ready to be exploited and an economy ready to emerge found little investors.

Rucker and Pearl are more central hubs for exploiting ore, the nearby Aquila, Pearl and Thuban systems can supply better technology and infrastructure and Rucker itself is the most famous machine producer in the area. Alpha Centauri produces enough energy to further make Vega redundant.

Far from any warfront and with everything in this region of space already accounted for, the only reason to colonize Vega is Sheliak, the near gaia world. The lack of plant-life to ensure a stable oxygen atmosphere is problematic and with many new worlds found and charted with the new jump casters also less of a priority.

There are only so many worlds humanity can colonize at once and some planets like the destroyed Sirius A wait for their recolonization, far ahead of any new planets like Sheliak.

## History

### During Legends/Mercenaries

Vega is one of the closest systems to Earth. It remained an independent colony for many years, consisting mostly of scientific research teams. However, Rebel forces from Virgo recently invaded the system in an attempt to control its resources. While they failed in their efforts in Virgo, they achieved significant gains in Vega since the local population was not equipped to defend themselves from attack. Distress calls were sent to the Alliance and Navy forces were dispatched to fight off the Rebels and protect the system. The future of this system remains uncertain, it's currently still considered an undefined territory.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Light presence, primarily independent operations.
* Navy/Military - Moderate presence, defending against Rebels.
* Rebels - Strong presence, attempting to conquer the system.
* Guilds/Clans - Moderate presence, united with Rebels.
* Miners - Light presence, a few mining operations do occur.

### After the Insanity War

The small scientific colony on the planet was abandoned as it allegedly became too hard to defend it with the rebels around to strike at it at any moment. Even though the rebels were later defeated and the system admitted to the Alliance, the entire system at that point had been charted with both stars now part of the stellar archives. A scientific colony wasn't needed anymore.

Since then the only thing operating in the system was the Vega station which allowed the system to serve as a basic supply hub for the Alliance near Federal space.

Despite its limited strategic purpose, the system was never attacked during the Insanity War. The Virgo buffer ensured it saw little value as a target for either side until the fall of Thuban.

## Trade Routes

Vega only borders Virgo and thus all goods have to pass through it or be traded with it. Despite a bit of potential to expand the system this limits it severely.
