History
Formed on a temporary basis by a group of scientists, who set out to study the nearby systems, the Vagen III colony grew beyond its creators expectations. Soon, people were arriving with the sole intention of colonizing the planet. With a warmer climate and very little rain, those living on the planet built their homes near the ocean which consists of fresh water rather than salt water. Once the land had been properly irrigated, little communities were created. The communities soon merged into one town called New Vancouver. This is also the only spaceport on the planet and where supplies are brought in. Life flourished here until 2395.
Although near the planet Vulcan and under the protection of the UFP, the colony became discovered by the Romulans as a possible military strike base if they ever were to engage in a war with the Vulcans and the Federation. When they began to land forces on the planet, the colonist protested. Before the Federation could step in, the Romulans had destroyed the colony and New Vancouver leaving only around 20 percent of the total population left alive. UFP forces did arrive shortly and took the survivors off the planet and pressured the Romulans to leave the planet peacefully. Now all that remains are sensor probes to warn the Federation of any other attempts by the Romulans to inhabit the planet.
