Vega is an inhabited system not that far from the core of UNP space but those inhabitants, the Vegans, have always resisted human interest. An aggressive species, the Vegans have traditionally always been either warriors or merchants. One Vegan, who called himself Hank Wolfmann, was an early member of the DDS but apart from that Vegans have not been interested in UNP affairs.
However over recent years a number of bloody civil wars has weakened the old Vegan martial culture and a new democratic movement is said to be interested in closer ties with the UNP. The DDS are keen to establish a maintenance depot in Vegan space as its in a handy position between DDS Centre and DDS North.
