The '''La'uo system''' {{SClang|kyexiin=8hui sen 8la2uo|srx=Hui sen La'uo|srx-meaning=La'uo System}}. formerly known as the Virtus system, is a [[StarCitizen:Xi'an]] star system and former [[StarCitizen:Perry Line]] system. It was ceded from the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth]] to the [[StarCitizen:Xi'an Empire]] as a result of the [[StarCitizen:Perry Line Pact]] in 2793. The system features an expanding red giant. It is also known for his officially-sanctioned criminality.

==History ==
The system was discovered by a group of Xi'an outlaws in SEY 2759 (MXY III.1017) who found a jump point within the neighbouring [[StarCitizen:Ē'aluth system]]. At the time, the Xi'an government declined to claim the system due to a lack of terraformable planets. Later in SEY 2771 (MXY III.1026), the UEE military discovered a jump point from the [[StarCitizen:Tohil system]], and both militaries rushed into the system, displacing the outlaws.<ref name=":0">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R6demJ8Xmq-lauo-system|text=Galactapedia: La'uo System|accessdate=2023-10-25}}</ref>

Later, Emperor [[StarCitizen:Twayng Kray]] used the system to reach the Tohil system and meet Senator [[StarCitizen:Terrence Akari]], where they would negotiate the [[StarCitizen:Akari-Kray Peace Accord]] that ended the [[StarCitizen:Xi'an-Human Cold War]]. The pirate gangs of the system aided the Emperor in his secret journey, and in return he granted them dominion over the system as legally recognised [[StarCitizen:nyayu'a]], an authorised criminal syndicate.<ref name=":0" />

The [[StarCitizen:Xi'an Empire]] authorizes the nyayu'a to operate under certain conditions. That does not mean it is a lawless system. Unauthorized criminals caught operating here will incur the wrath of both the Xi'an government and the system's sanctioned gangs.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=starmap|text=Starmap}}</ref> The Xi'an government retained control of the second planet, which is a mining and prison colony.<ref name=":0" />

==Star==
===La'uo===
{{Main|La'uo (star)}}

La'uo is an expanding red giant (spectral type: M) star. Its type is recorded in the Starmap as 'Giants-Giant-M'.

==Planets==
===Pi'tua (La'uo I)===
{{Main|Pi'tua}}

A planet that has been evaporating away since the star entered the red giant phase.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=starmap?location=VIRTUS.PLANET.VIRTUSI&system=VIRTUS|text=VIRTUS I - Starmap}}</ref>

=== Yengchuai (La'uo II)===
{{Main|Yengchuai}}

The red giant star has turned Virtus II into a lava planet. Heavy mining and production facilities are built between massive lava flows. Many of these facilities are hard labour camps populated with Xi'an prisoners. Sentient rights activists in the UEE frequently pressure the government to reproach the Xi'an over the practice.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=starmap?location=VIRTUS.PLANET.VIRTUSII&system=VIRTUS|text=VIRTUS II - Starmap}}</ref>

===Kyu'ām (La'uo III)===
{{Main|Kyu'ām}}

A smog planet with a rapidly rising surface temperature due to the increased heat from the system's red giant.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=starmap?location=VIRTUS.PLANET.VIRTUSIII&system=VIRTUS|text=VIRTUS III - Starmap}}</ref>

===S.ap'uāng (La'uo IV)===

Some Xi'an mining consortia are permitted to mine here by the [[StarCitizen:nyayu'a]] in exchange for peacefully ceding a small percentage of their cargo if they are boarded.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RWo5gxkmKa-huichuaihyao-syeno-se-lauo|text=Huichuaihyao sy.en'o se La'uo (La'uo belt beta)|accessdate=2023-10-25}}</ref>
