VEGA Security, more commonly referred to as Vega or VEGA and also the Vega Empire, is one of the oldest and most powerful nations on Horizon's End, widely considered a major power or even the server hegemon since the launch of the server in 2022 (when it was called Echelon).

VEGA prides itself on its military prowess and on being home to the largest collection of server veterans (especially combatants), as well as being a close friend group outside of the server.

History

Founding

VEGA was founded on Star Legacy in 2019 as a weapons corporation consisting of veteran players from Arimfea and Oblivion. It was well known for defeating the then-dominant Andromedan Republic in two consecutive wars. Many of the old VEGA players joined Horizon's End when it launched, but initially decided not to recreate their nation, opting to form Echelon instead. On the 4th of January, 2023, this nation was renamed to VEGA.

Cheth Wars

AR-Vega War

HF-RDY War

IA-VA War Involvement

Vega gave limited material support to the Vask Authority during the war, and provided direct military support during the Battle of Asteri. After the start of the Long Peace VEGA mostly remained isolationist, usually only intervening when provoked.

Vega-Ekatera War

Vega-Nova War (2025)

Solar War (2025)

The Solar War was roughly when Vega stopped being considered the sole powerful nation on the server. Large alliances and nations with similar productive output have occasionally been able to win battles as the gap between Vega and the next most powerful nations slowly closed, although other nations had remained inferior in combat prowess and technology.

Post Dominion Update (2026)

Most of the original VEGA veterans had disappeared in the years following the server's founding, most notably Vandrayk, who was generally considered to be the effective leader of VEGA .

After the Dominion Update, several of these veterans returned to experience new combat mechanics, such as new Tech 2 warships. Their main opponent since then has generally been lonestar (And, for the second month of the Update, Fortuna Sequence), although many Vegan players often pirate players in deep space, especially those foolish enough to enter URT-8. ~~Vega has also been known~~ to ~~camp at core~~ system ~~gates~~, ~~and Deepspace OSTs~~ in ~~some incidents~~.

As Dominion progressed, VEGA strategically placed their Claims, gaining unrivaled access to Vertigo, a mining system in Spine, from their primary base in URT-8. This allowed them to deploy the Largest Fleets on the server while their opponents struggled to gather large enough fleets to counter them.

Internal Politics

VEGA internal operations are an enigma to most, as their discord access is highly limited, for even citizens. VEGA's organisational structure is the Operations Division, beginning with the Director(s) at the top and going down to the Operatives at the bottom. Citizens are not part of this structure, and usually not considered 'true VEGAns' by most. Since Vandrayk's departure, the role of the Emperor has largely become symbolic, with VEGA functioning more as an oligarchic regime rather than an autocratic one. VEGA's operations division also extends beyond their nation, as many of their operatives are part of others. Whether these are actual agents of VEGA is disputed, and likely varies from case to case.
