Other Details: Vegath was originally settled as an agricultural colony, as the planet has an extremely agreeable climate and an abundance of arable land. Since the area is at the limits of known the sector space, the Vegathans had a greater measure of automony than the other sector worlds.
A small Caraadian military outpost was maintained on the southern continent of the planet, but was abandoned and destroyed nearly a hundred years ago; the Vegathans are an independent people, ruled by agricultural and mining guilds and almost universally indifferent about galactic politics.
Vegath's surface is covered by lush forests, towering mountain ranges, and fertile plains; the forests and mountains are virtually untamed, though the plains regions of the northern continent are almost exclusively cultivated land.
Vegath is at the furthest reaches of the Solerian Sector. Once past the Vegath system, the Solerian Reach looms large.
