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.

• 2143: Humans establish Vega Colony amid the ruins of Triacus.

The source indicates that the "peoples of Delta III" had colonized there first, but that would mean Humans had met the Deltans prior to the official first contact in 2262, over a century later.

• By 2150: The Earth Cargo Service operates a trade route between Earth, Draylax, and Vega Colony.

• April 4 2163: Federation Council President Thomas Vanderbilt finalizes a trade agreement with the Global League of Lyaksti'kton and the Kingdom of M'Tezir (both of Sauria) on Vega Colony.

• 2164: Vega Colony joins the United Federation of Planets.

• Late 2253: Construction starts on the first Federation class dreadnoughts.

• 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.
