The V-System is a rigid occupation-based social ordering which ensures the vital work of building and running Vega is accomplished. Inspired by his training at West Point, General Riesen worked with the Senate to create the system. The class system is preserved to be unfair by the lower classes who are not allowed to move above their station.
