Althak Vepar, known during the post-demilitarization period as the Krogan DMZ, is a cluster located deep in Council space, and the former capital of the Tuchankan Empire, and current capital of the Tuchankan Military Confederacy, as well as the home cluster of the krogan species. The cluster was located just beyond the southern border of Inner Council space by 1 CE, although the Council races had no desire to expand beyond those borders at the time. The cluster became known to the Salarian Union as late as 450 BCE however, who were also just as aware of the cluster's inhabitant species and their violent nature, although they chose not to let the asari know, and neither was any attempt made to contact the krogan until after the Third Rachni War, when it was determined the krogan would be perfect for waging total war on the rachni. As a result, the salarians uplifted the krogan in 41 CE, and in the decades following, the krogan rapidly proliferated throughout Althak Vepar, and beyond it. Towards the end of the Krogan Rebellions, Althak was subject to many incursions by Council forces, and after the war and the collapse of the Tuchankan Empire, the entire cluster was heavily demilitarized, leading to it being renamed the 'Krogan DMZ' in time. Althak Vepar was since then occupied by spatterings of krogan colonies here and there, but most lived on Tuchanka, the krogan homeworld. The CDEM patrolled the cluster regularly, ensuring the krogan did not return to the threat they once were.

In 2186 CE, the genophage was cured, and within a decade, the krogan had once again colonized the entire Althak Vepar, although this time without the aggressive explosion in numbers that had been witnessed after the Rachni Wars. Despite siding with the New Council during the Post-Apocalyptic War, and with the DDF in the Dominion Civil War, Althak Vepar would ironically avoid the touch of war for many millenia, remaining largely peaceful and isolated from the goings on of the galaxy around it.
