The Vega Cluster is a subcluster of systems located entirely within the Lyran Veil.
It is situated Coreward of the Solar Subcluster, between the Mare Nostrum Trailward and the Indian Arm Spinward.
The subcluster includes two sovereign states: the Democratic Republic of Vega and Federal Union of Vega.
The Vega Cluster is principally comprised of 13 primary star systems: Coromuel, Harmattan, Khamsin, Khazri, Kona, Liesma, Minuano, Mistral, Pampero, Sirocco, Tsiokantimo, Vega, and Whitaker.
Etymology
From Medieval Latin, from Arabic وَاقِع (wāqiʕ, “falling”), from the expression النَّسْر الوَاقِع (an-nasr al-wāqiʕ, “falling eagle”). The active participle وَاقِع (wāqiʕ) derives from the verb وَقَعَ (waqaʕa, “fall, drop, tumble, alight, pounce”).
