The Vega Cluster is a group of 13 star systems located entirely within the Lyran Veil. The subcluster includes 11 colonized systems and two countries, the Democratic Republic of Vega and the Federal Union of Vega. These states are both non-legacy nations, and claimant successors to the former Commonwealth of Vega. Due to their shared origins, they share strong historical, cultural, and linguistic ties.
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”).
Astrography
The Vega Cluster is situated coreward of the Solar Subcluster, spinward of the Mare Nostrum, trailward of the Indian Arm, and rimward of the Tannhauser Gate.

History
The Divide
Mandate for the Vega Colonies
The colonization of the Vega Cluster began in 20832 with the establishment of the Mandate for the Vega Colonies, the first extrasolar colony founded by nongovernmental interests. By 2130, the Commonwealth of Vega surpassed United Centauri Republic economically, becoming the largest economy in the Local Supercluster.
