Legend

this planet was the primary world in the Vex system, which was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. A swampy world, Vex Major was surrounded by a desnse asteroid field known simply as The Belt. The few human settlers who made a living on the planet were close-knit clans of fisherfolk. The planet itself was often referred to as Far Gent, term used by the Ffib fanatics who settled the planet some forty years before the Battle of Endor. The name "Vex Major" was believed to have been coined by the first explorers who tried to reach the planet, which was located on the edge of the Monsua Nebula. They hoped to use Vex Major as a staging point for excursions into the Unknown Regions, but navigating through the Belt and overcoming the anomalies caused by the Monsua Nebula proved particularly vexing.
