Vab

Vab was the first planet in the Vab 7791-system in Botchok Planetary Congress near the border with the Klingon Empire. It was an Orion-held world that served as a base to both the Orion Space Navy and Orion Syndicate.

Vab was a Class-G planet with a thin atmosphere and a desert climate. Its orbital path took it between the two stars of the Vab 7791-system, where it endured constant daylight and many kinds of dangerous radiation. Agriculture was impossible and it had few resources. With the system itself located within a dust cloud, it was a particularly dull place.

In ancient times, an unknown race tunneled into the planet and constructed subterranean structures. During the Orion War, 94–57 BCE, the Orions fought a great battle for Vab, but later abandoned it. Thereafter, Vab was little-used until the Reverse, when pirates based themselves there to launch raids against both Orion and Klingon worlds.

It had a total surface area of 133,141,000 square kilometers, with 100% land mass. It had a gravity of 0.5 g, a diameter of 6,510 kilometers and an equatorial circumference of 20,450 kilometers. About 27% of its makeup was normal metals, 10% was radioactive elements, 8% industrial crystals, with trace deposits of special minerals and gemstones.

The planet was conquered in 2153 during the  Borderland Blitz, the  Klingon Empire   annexation of the  Botchok Planetary Congress , becoming a protectorate world when the Orion government surrendered.
