   [Music] w hello everyone my name is Adam Weezer and I am going to be your host this week on the lore makers Guide to the Galaxy now this program it's a new one uh and what we're going to do is that every

2. 00:00:47

   once in a while one of the members of the lore team is going to come in here and basically give you a personal tour of a system uh through this awesome star map that's been put together for the game so um this week as you you can see I'm uh wearing an operation Pitchfork t-shirt because uh it felt appropriate considering the system we will be covering so uh once again we're going to start off right here on Earth and if we back out of the the saw system and do the backspace here we can bring up the search bar and we're going to type in this episode system which is Vega so here we go we are going to head off to the Vega system which I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with uh due to the uh recent Battle of Vega um Admiral

3. 00:01:36

   Bishop's speech in front of the Senate all that has happened because of what has gone on here recently now the Vegas system has been one of promise and problems for the uee throughout the history as you see it is here it's in kind of what we like to call the Western uh front of the Empire um and the promise of this system is right in the center Center it is this gtype main sequence star now what's special about this star is that it is brighter than 90% of the other uh stars in the entire galaxy um what's also very special about it is that it's very similar to our sun to the star that's at the heart of the Soul system so when Humanity found this

4. 00:02:24

   star out there amidst everything um they got very excited by the prospects uh one of the other very important things that made this so promising was that the system also has two habitable planets um within the green band so this star along with these two planets made it a very intriguing system for Humanity the problem with the Vegas system has always been that it has one jump that goes directly into vanuel space as you can see here it connects to The Virgil system now for the first few hundred years of Vega Vega's existence The Virgil system was actually a human controlled system that all changed in 2737 with the fall of Virgil when that

5. 00:03:12

   happened Vega literally became the front line of the conflict between humanity and the vanuel so for over 200 years the people of Vega lived in constant fear that at any moment um vanuel could come through this jump here from Virgil and attack the system prior to the fall of Virgil uh Vega was a pretty prosperous system there were a lot of people there there was a lot of excitement going on but the second that the vanuel were on the doorstep people fled from the system very fast they say that at a certain point um the best business in Vega was actually getting people out of Vega um so basically for 200 years this system lived in constant fear until maybe 10 to 20 years ago when people started to

6. 00:04:02

   think hey you know what Aramis is a beautiful place it's a naturally just stunning planet um and the real estate's cheap there people started to move back in the the vast and and verdant Fields uh produced a lot of crops which led to a thriving culinary scene on the planet um they even were in the midst of applying for recognition from the uee Senate when unfortunately the vanuel finally attacked this happened on October 5th 2945 the vuel came through it's now known as the Battle of Vega 2 and basically attacked Aramis you see we've got the nice little icon here uh indicating that uh that attack um so on this day uh citizens and civilians of this planet would have walked out into the streets of the capital new corvo

7. 00:04:51

   looked up into the sky and they would have seen ships falling and and falling from you know falling from the sky and crashing into the city the city on fire fire they would have seen vanuel Raiders kind of running through the streets and when they looked up um besides this massive space battle they would have seen a vanuel kingship sitting in the system which is the first time in over about 70 years that a vuel kingship had ever been in uee Space the last time prior to Vega was in 2871 at the fall of caliban so besides seeing that vuel King ship up in space they all also got to see these beautiful planetary rings that uh surround Aramis so Aramis is going to be a very very beautiful planet from from the ground you've got these two

8. 00:05:38

   Planet you've got these planetary rings and you've got two Shepherd moons that are also going to be setting up in the sky now just an interesting science fact the planetary rings are there for first basically because of something called the rash limit or the rash radius um and the simplified version of this is that the rash radius is where the gravity of the planet of Aramis overpowers all of the Gravity so if for example you are a natural satellite a chunk of a moon a piece of space space debris on the outside of the rash radius then you have your own gravity you'll draw other things to you and that's how moons kind of coales but if you're a natural satellite um that is caught inside the rash radius let's say maybe you were a piece of moon that hit the planet and

9. 00:06:25

   broke up an atmosphere or maybe these are parts of of the early protoplanetary dis that created the system that never got pulled into the planet under the right conditions they can get caught up here on the very edge of the system and give these very beautiful picturesque planetary Rings now Aramis isn't only beautiful from the sky it's also very beautiful on the ground this is a naturally habitable planet so it has its own flora and its own fauna um it did need a little bit of terraforming to be able to um get Humanity to be habitable there but luckily that terraforming wasn't strong enough to actually eradicate a lot of the natural uh foliage you'll find there so it's also going to be a very beautiful planet uh from the ground um with with that in

10. 00:07:14

    consideration you can see why over the past few years the people of Aramis have strove to receive recognition from the UE Senate to actually have a voting right there um everyone seemed to think that they were on the fast track for this to happen and when the attack of Vega happened of Vega 2 um their basically application was rubber stamped so um it wasn't long before Edward Emil became the very first uee senator from the planet of Aramis and he decided to use his um introduction speech in front of the senate for a little bit of political theater um instead of talking about the planet he decided to close debate and call for a vote on the UE going to war against the vanuel so that's a fun little fact the First Act

11. 00:08:03

    uh by senator from Aramis was to um vote for war against the vanuel uh another fun little thing about uh this planet here Aramis um is that it is home to the cargo Olympics so for all you haulers and Traders out there that are good at moving cargo around this is where the annual cargo Olympic event uh would occur um unfortunately the the recent attacks have put this year's event in question but I believe haveen under good authority that there might be some more answers as to what's happening to that very soon so again that is Aramis which is Vega 2 it's about Earth size uh right here let's step back out um let's go up to Vega one which is on the inner part of the system now this is a dwarf planet there's not too much exciting about it it's about the size of Pluto um the UE

12. 00:08:53

    like to call this a a w one probe Planet they sent one unman probe down to the this thing took it out checked did some scans realized there was nothing there to mind there was nothing there really worth our time so it's kind of been forgone and it just sits here in the inner part of the system so as we back out let's go to Vega 3 which is the other really really interesting planet in the system and this planet is called Seline as you see this is a little bit further out um from the Sun but it's still in the green Bland um it's a little bit larger than Earth and it is not naturally habitable which means that humans had to terraform this planet to be able to um to live on it now this place has been the true power center of the Vega system for the past few

13. 00:09:41

    centuries uh the military had a lot of establishments or they first claimed Aramis and kind of moved in there first so a lot of the Private Industry and private businesses came in and took over this planet of Seline the biggest city on Seline is a city called Titus and it has a pretty massive population for for what is considered a frontier system a frontier planet um Titus was very was was thriving um prior to the vuel threat appearing on Vegas doorstep um so when you see the city from the air it's a massive expanse of buildings but once you get down to ground level what you'll realize is that a lot of the buildings on the outer edge of the city are abandoned or partially constructed where maybe stopped mid construction due to the vanuel threat um veg so Vega's population is or excuse me seline's

14. 00:10:31

    population of Titus is is still high but it's definitely not as high as it used to be uh an interesting point about Seline uh is that the governor's Council of the planet grew concerned after the fall of Virgil in 20737 they were worried that there were people on this planet who didn't want to leave that couldn't afford to leave they worried what would happen if the vuel ever attacked so their solution was to create a gun company called costic arms now this was a private public partnership between the governor's Council of Seline and private interest to make affordable and effective energy weapons to uh to sell to the people of this planet in case of a vuel incursion now this plan worked well at arming the

15. 00:11:20

    people of Titus and the people of Seline but it also obviously led to a spike in crime um even worse in 2750 3 a an executive for costic arms was caught triggering uh sensor vuel sensor alarms deep out in the system as a way to drive sales for the guns when the governor's Council of Seline realized this was going on they they understood they needed to get out of the gun business and ended up selling their state in the company to completely private interest so uh the private interest realized they had very effective and very cheap guns on their hands that would be uh liked all around around the Empire so what they ended up doing is they took costic arms the maker of the Devastator uh shotgun and The Firestorm Cannon they took them and they basically exported

16. 00:12:09

    them all around the universe which is why you're going to be seeing a lot of those guns in the game that all started from here in Seline uh the other interesting thing about this planet is that it's home to a group of people called the descendants of Orion and they are as as you would expect and as my operation Pitchfork t-shirt to hints at they are people who originally lived in the Orion system or descendants of people who originally lived in the oran system who want to get the system back and they do this by uh basing raids in the vanuel uh in vuel systems from this planet so let's say you're a vandel swarm fanatic let's say you have interest in in testing your metal against uh in in vanuel territory um you can come find the descendants of Orion

17. 00:12:57

    on Seline they're not going to pay much it's going to be very dangerous but it's definitely going to be a good way for you to get some dog fighting action so as we back away from cine we go further out into the system and what we have here is the Vega belt the Vega belt Alpha now this Fern asteroid belt is probably a little bit more dense than most but there's still not enough planetary Mass here or not enough Mass to have formed a planet um technically this asteroid belt is owned by the uee but it's been picked pretty clean over the years so there's not really patrols of it um a lot of like beginning miners actually make their way out to this asteroid belt um as a way to practice maybe find a few Pockets that have been overlooked but uh yeah so there's a it's

18. 00:13:46

    a good place to maybe do some practice runs there's not going to be a lot of wealth here um if you're willing to go check it out and finally out on the very edge of the system we have Vega 4 now Vega 4 is a super Jupiter which is the least common class of planets in our entire galaxy um so what makes the super Jupiter special well it's about the same size as our Jupiter it's just more massive it just means it's it's more dense um so yeah it's a it's a big beautiful planet um that's going to be dotted with uh fuel Refinery stations kind of in the outer reaches that you'll be able to swing by and uh maybe get some fuel for your ship so again uh this has been the the tour of the Vega system

19. 00:14:34

    uh four Planet system one asteroid belt with uh four jump points coming into it the dangerous jump point from Virgil two uh that go to unclaimed systems of null and uh uh Oberon and it has one connection to UE space right here in Breman again my name is Adam Weezer uh member of the L team and this was your L Maker's Guide to the Vega system he did this whole thing without reading anything there's no notes on the screen I'm so proud of him thank you yeah no problem
