Vega colony

Vega colony is a Federation colony on Vega IX in the Vega system

When the colonists arrived many contracted Vegan choriomeningitis, a deadly disease created by the ancient extinct natives of the planet. Unfortunately the disease was not detected before colonists spread it to other Federation worlds resulting in a widespread outbreak. A vaccine was quickly developed upon it's discovery. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) travelled to Vega colony in 2254 to make use of the medical facilities at the colony to treat causalities from the coup on Rigel VII. (TOS episode: The Cage; EV comic: Nor Iron Bars a Cage)
