Unfortunately, this distinction led to several raids by forces from the nearby Lyran Commonwealth, and even today the Vegan landscape is dotted with bombed-out cities and factories from bygone eras. Vega�s single, shallow ocean, Nilos, appears from orbit as little more than a crisscrossing of extremely large rivers that divide the planet�s surface into three giant landmasses. The largest continent, South Nanturo, is located completely in the southern hemisphere, while North Nanturo and Forsair share the northern hemisphere, extending into the equatorial zones. The planetary and Prefecture capital city of Neucason is located on North Nanturo, and is connected by monorail line to the large industrial spaceport city of Nasew on the opposite side of the continent. Neucason is proudly regarded by many of the locals as the birthplace of the original Star League, as the site of the historic signing of the Treaty of Vega in 2569 by Hehiro Kurita, then Coordinator of the Combine, and Ian Cameron, Director-General of the Terran Hegemony.
Nasew is home to Cosby Myomer Research, a myomer testing and manufacturing firm and one-time BattleMech producer known in the past for Machiavellian business practices. Damaged by Blakist saboteurs during the Jihad, Cosby was saved from oblivion only through the aid of a Combine business reclamation effort. Today, with long-term trade agreements with both the Combine and Republic governments, Cosby remains in business as a manufacturer of industrial and mining �Mechs, as well as quality myomers for medical, commercial, industrial, and military use.
Vega�s biggest tourist attraction by far, even over the site of the Treaty of Vega signing, is the so-called Pyramids of New Egypt, located on the rocky, arid plains of Forsair. Created during the Star League era for an eccentric megabillionaire who believed in the pantheistic religion of Terra�s ancient Egyptian civilization, the Pyramids remain the biggest draw for off-worlders and treasure seekers on Vega. Over the centuries, the influx of tourists became so heavy that a commercial port city dubbed New Egypt has indeed grown around the Pyramids.

Today in the captal city the governor Olivia Von signed an accord with Anastasia Kerenski. She has been granted free usage of the space port and all facilities of the capital city Neucason. Kerenski has been offered a large sum of money to aid military forces. The industrial complex Haltaran has been converted into a military camp for her people. Kerenski had this to say: "Today marks the beginning of a new erra...You'll pay one way or another. Olivia made the right choice here today now she has protection from the Combine forces that are hovering in the wings to take advantage of the Republic's retreat."

Olivia and Kerenski, having met for two weeks in closed door sessions have emerged, The governor cedded control of the planet to Kerrenski. Olivia had this to say: "With the vaccuum of power that has been created I can no longer rely on the good will of our neighbors. There will be no changes in the laws of this world, however we have given control of it to Anastasia Kerenski and her people. Anyone wishing to leave may do so. You are given free passage aboard any of the jump ships and have three days with which to leave. At the end of that time...all planetary leave is cancelled. I for one look forward to the protection they bring." <Olivia raises her arm an a set of bands can be seen> "I've been bonded to Kerenski and her cause and I've never felt safer."
