'''Vega IX''' is the ninth planet of the [[Vega system]]. It is a small [[Class C]] variant, with the entire surface frozen. The [[Andorian]]s attempted to establish a colony there in the 2330s, but without success. <br />
<br />
In the mirror universe, Vega IX is occupied by the Terran Empire where Capt. James Kirk executed 5000 colonists in his second act as CO of the I.S.S. ''Enterprise''.<br />
<br />
==Population==<br />
Vega is a large white star with ten planets. Vega IX is inhabited by both a small human settlement and as advanced humanoid race. Neither group is native to the planet. The humanoid civilization, a colony of the planet [[Delta IV]], predates the [[Federation]] settlement by nearly a century. A race native to Vega IX did once exist, controlling a vast area of space once referred to as the Vegan Tyranny. That race became extinct, and their exact nature is unknown, but it has been speculated that they were cybernetic or completely mechanical in composition.<br />
<br />
One legacy of the original Vegans is Vegan choriomeningitis, a virulent disease that causes inflammation of the brain tissues, high fever, tingling of the arms and lower back, and death within 24 hours if left untreated. It has been determined that the disease microorganism was synthetically created by the Vegan race. Unfortunately, its existence was not detected until the organism had been carried, by colonists, to other Federation worlds, resulting in a widespread outbreak of the disease. A vaccine was quickly developed and is now a standard part of pre-exploratory immunization programs.<br />
<br />
==Fauna==<br />
Vega IX's dominant life form is a hostile, apelike creature known as the Scora. These animals are quite large, often reaching 14 feet in height, and are strictly herbivorous. Scora possess incredible physical strength. Fortunately for the planet's civilized inhabitant, these creatures prefer to remain in the remote lowland areas surrounding the planet's many mountain ranges.<br />
