AT: "at" The Vega colony, located in the Vega system, was established in the early 22nd century, and was one of Earth's most important trade partners in the early days of Human interstellar exploration. It was one of the earliest colonies established, along with the Alpha Centauri and Terra Nova colonies. It was, for many decades, located on the frontier of known space.
The location of Vega was seen on a Federation star chart displayed in astrometrics on the USS Voyager in 2376. The system was shown in relation to Pollux IV, Jouret IV, Rigel, and Organia. (VOY: "Child's Play", "The Haunting of Deck Twelve")
Travis Mayweather was born aboard his parents' interstellar cargo ship, the ECS Horizon, halfway between Vega colony and Draylax. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
In 2152, Admiral Forrest speculated that an escape pod-like vessel, found by Enterprise NX-01, might have been launched by Vega colony. However, the small vessel was later discovered to be a timeship from the 31st century. (ENT: "Future Tense")
In 2254, the USS Enterprise planned to make use of the medical facilities at the Vega colony to take care of the crew injured on Rigel VII and replace the personnel who needed hospitalization. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I")
In an alternate timeline, Vega colony was wiped out by the Xindi following their destruction of Earth in 2154. (ENT: "Twilight")
Background
In the book Star Trek: Star Charts, Vega IX and Vega Colony were treated as if they were the same location. The planet was located in the Vega (Alpha Lyrae) system. This system was located in the Alpha Quadrant. This colony was a named stop on the Earth trade routes in the late 22nd century. It was on the Earth-Vega run and the Draylax-Vega run. Two centuries later, this planet was a named stop on the major space lanes. It was a member planet of the United Federation of Planets. (Source: Pages 36, 44, and United Federation of Planets I)
Apocrypha
In Star Trek Online, the Vega colony was the site of the Borg reemergence in the galaxy during the year 2409, Starfleet attempted to evacuate the Vega colony while engaging the Borg fleet in orbit. This location served as the tutorial for the game as the player attempted to defend the evacuees and then repel the invasion force.
