Vekta was a terrestrial planet in the Unknown Regions, in the Vekta system of the Greater Vekta sector. A remote location on the fringes of the galaxy, Vekta was isolated from most other civilizations for much of it's history. The world was ruled by the Kingdom of Vekta, an absolute monarchy led by the House of Zhukov. Vekta experienced relative stability during the Kingdom's history, partially due to the powerful Royal Vektan Armed Forces. The people of Vekta were a patriotic people, with service to the state being a high prestige. That caused many to join the Royal Armed Forces.

Early history[]
The earliest writings of the Vektan people dated back to 1,000,000 BBY, with some of the earliest written by King Zhukov I, the founder of the Kingdom of Vekta. Several finds indicated that the Celestials had found the planet at some point, and as did the Rakatans. Zhukov I established the House of Zhukov upon unifying the warring tribes of the planet, which went on to rule the planet for thousands of years. Zhukov II, his successor, wrote much of the Vektan early history, which was studied in schools.
