Vroega

Vroega is a fictional planet that appears in a science fiction setting used by multiple authors and media in a shared universe. The planet serves as a frontier world and hub for trade, exploration, and conflict within the narratives in which it appears. Its depiction varies by work, but common elements describe a harsh, resource-rich environment and a diverse cast of settlers, explorers, and corporate operatives.

Vroega is an arid planet with a diameter of approximately 9,000 to 10,000 kilometers, a thin atmosphere, and a wide range of temperatures between day and night. Its surface features basalt plateaus, salt flats, canyons, and several oasis regions that support limited life. The planet has two moons and an equatorial canyon system that influences winds and weather patterns described in the stories.

Native life forms are described as hardy desert-adapted species, including burrow-dwelling vectors and scavenger predators. In some narratives, introduced species and mining operations create ecological tensions, highlighting the environmental costs of resource extraction.

In the lore, Vroega was first settled by nomadic clans seeking mineral wealth, followed by corporate prospecting in the late 24th and early 25th centuries. Governance is depicted as fragmented, with local councils, mining unions, and company franchises competing for influence.

The economy centers on mining and export of rare minerals. Technologies range from basic survival tools to advanced industrial and spaceport infrastructure, with stories often exploring the impact of automation and terraforming on local communities.

Vroega has developed a dedicated fan base and is discussed in analyses of world-building and frontier sociology within science fiction communities. It has appeared in novels, role-playing games, and adaptation materials, though details vary by author.
