Vardona is a Core World of the Terran Confederacy, and later the Terran Dominion. It is a temperate world, with well developed cities, and attractions that have made it a tourist spot in the Dominion. Due to it being the home base of General Carolina Davis, the planet received substantial funding from the Dominion Armed Forces. Vardona is home of an expansive subway system, as well as the Vardona Natural History Museum, largely considered to be one of the best in the Dominion.
