The Vogons are a fictional alien race in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' series by Douglas Adams:
:''Here's what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy. Not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Races from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. The best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is stick your finger down his throat, and the best way to irritate him is to feed his grandmother to the ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.''
Later on in the book series, we learn that, far back in prehistory, when the first primeval Vogons crawled out of the sea, the forces of evolution were so disgusted with them that they never allowed them to evolve again. Somehow, though, the Vogons survived, wrecked the planet, and emigrated ''en masse'' to the Brantisvogon star cluster, where they form most of the Galactic bureaucracy, most notably in the famous Vogon Constructor Fleets (which allows them a socially-acceptable way to spend their time demolishing things). The only captain of the Constructor fleet we meet is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz.

== Integrate User:Vogon/Paranoia rewrite ==
User:Vogon/Paranoia rewrite is looking pretty good. I'd like to see it integrated now, especially since the Paranoia (role-playing game) is starting to seriously fork. Any reason not to just drop it in now? User:Alan De Smet | User talk:Alan De Smet 22:57, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
:I haven't paid much heed to it since I first wrote the bulk of it, but now that the quarter's over, I was thinking about finishing it up and changing it over. Thanks for reminding me about it. User:Vogon 23:21, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

Excuse me. I'm a bit upset and annoyed that you appear to have destroyed my planet. It was a nice planet, and I enjoyed living on it very much, and now that it's gone I have to make do with the infinity of space, which just doesn't cut it in my opinion. Additionally, I can't find any tea either the least you could do to compensate for the destruction, viz., that of my planet, is to provide me with some, as long as it isn't too much trouble. --A.
