Vegan Tyranny

The Vegan Tyranny was an interstellar political entity controlled by the native Vegan species of Vega IX in the Alpha quadrant. The Tyranny once controlled a vast area of space. However, by the time of the Federation, the Vegans had gone extinct and subsequently little was known about them; some speculated that they may have been a cybernetic race.

History

• 1529: The Vegan Tyranny attacks Rigel VII, causing the destruction of the advanced Orion culture there, resulting in a return to barbarism.

• 1960: The Orions begin a series of raids on the Vegan Tyranny.

• July 2022: The Andorian Empire makes first contact with the Vegan Tyranny. War is the result.

• 2040: The Vegan Tyranny is destroyed, resulting in the extinction of the Vegans.

• 2268: The Starnes Expedition, a party of archeologists on Triacus, are all fatally poisoned (with the exception of the children) by a malevolent entity, the last of its kind.

Notes

• There are no known descriptions of the Vegans in source materials (so far). Originally, they were to be shown in TMP, but the specified aliens were redesignated as Rhaandarites.
