The Virgil system, initially a thriving human colony, was transformed into a military outpost due to devastating Vanduul attacks. The once-idyllic planets, particularly Virgil 1, were left in ruins, with a poisonous atmosphere and a state of permanent nuclear winter.
The Virgil system was discovered by astrophotographer Elaine Victus during a deep field survey. It was named after the ancient poet Virgil and quickly became a thriving human colony. However, the discovery of the Vanduul and their devastating raids led to Virgil transforming into a military outpost. The Vanduul relentlessly attacked the system, causing the collapse of the Navy and the destruction of the once-idyllic biosphere.
Virgil 1, the first planet in the system, was initially a poster child for terraformation with its fertile soil and Earth-like atmosphere. It became a productive and popular tourist destination. However, after the Vanduul attack, the planet was left in ruins, with a poisonous atmosphere and a state of permanent nuclear winter. The natural beauty of the planet was destroyed, leaving a harvested wasteland.
The Virgil system also includes Virgil 2, an uninhabitable smog planet, and Virgil 3, an ice giant. These worlds have not been significantly exploited, and the system’s overall development was halted due to the Vanduul threat. Travel to the Virgil system is discouraged by the United Empire of Earth due to the danger posed by the Vanduul.
