Looking good crofter

[crofter]

Electra is a star in the constellation Pleiades

[crofter]

... and Vegans appear in STAR TREK!!??

[ulysses100]

Vega is yet another star --- but the abstainer is a Vegan

[ulysses100]

... so 4 of them appear to be associated with stars. Is there another missile type with a star's name --- howabout Polaris ?

[tpw536w]

Thanks everyone

[crofter]

Not so fast tpw, ulysses has a good point. If we replace Saturn (which is a planet) with Polaris (which is a star) then we can tighten up on the connection to be STARS (rather than Heavenly Bodies)!

The definition of Polaris as a "ballistic missile" fits the clue exactly! Go with STARS!
