Vukar Tag is a star system in the Vukar Tag Sector and a major territory of the Kilrathi Empire.

Prior to 2668, Vukar Tag was a major center of military activity for the Kilrathi armada. Much of the Kilrathi fleet was stationed in this star system and the main planet, Vukar Tag, hosted a large number of military facilities suited for ship production and infantry forces. Its remoteness from Terran airspace seemingly made it impervious to Terran attack.

Vukar Tag was also the site of the late Dowager Empress Graknala nar Kiranka's ancestral home, one of the most beautiful estates in the Kilrathi Empire. Graknala was the grandmother of the last Kilrathi Emperor.

In 2667, as part of Operation Back Lash, the Terran Home Fleet assaulted the Kilrathi carrier fleet in the system, initiating the Battle of Vukar Tag. The Terran Confederation succeeded in destroying five of the Kilrathi's prized fleet carriers, numerous support vessels, and four legions of the Kilrathi Imperial Guard. In the ensuing ground battle, the Terrans destroyed much of the Kilrathi's military infrastructure on the planet, and the entire strike force fled before the Kilrathi could trap the attackers. The loss of the fleet at Vukar Tag proved a devastating defeat for the Kilrathi armada, and nearly crippled its offensive capabilities.
