The Virgil system was once a shining star of Humanity's expansion, the system's main economic and social hub was StarCitizen:Cyrene (Virgil I), which was quickly terraformed and colonized with help from the government-funded StarCitizen:Project FarStar. After Tiber fell, the StarCitizen:UEE military hastily retreated into Virgil and tried to mount a defense to stop the StarCitizen:Vanduul advance, but the unrelenting raiders quickly overwhelmed them. Millions of civilians died as the StarCitizen:UEE fled the system; leaving it in the hands of the StarCitizen:Vanduul ever since.<ref name="ReferenceA">Script error: No such module "Cite RSI".</ref>
History
The Virgil System was discovered entirely by chance in 2412. Famed astrophotographer StarCitizen:Alaine Viktus was conducting a deep field survey roughly half an astronomical unit past the StarCitizen:Vega system's cometary cloud. Viktus had powered down his survey runabout's thrusters and 'gone dark' to capture a maximum scan resolution. Upon attempting to activate his highly specialized stellar camera, he found it unable to star-lock because of an imperceptible level of spacecraft movement. Further investigation revealed the movement, mere microns from what his StarCitizen:IFCS had calculated as standstill, was the result of extreme proximity — within 400 meters — of an uncharted jump point. General amazement over Viktus' incredible luck quickly turned to an unequaled passion for expanded space exploration. The K-type main sequence star, quickly named Virgil by StarCitizen:Earth spin doctors seeking to instill a sense of regal manifest destiny, was located in a region of space previously thought naturally inaccessible. What's more, its first planet was the single strongest candidate for terraformation yet discovered. Within ten years, Virgil was a verdant, thriving StarCitizen:Human colony and inside of a century it was considered a surefire choice for formal StarCitizen:UPE representation. The rapid colonization of Virgil lead to Project "Far Star", the government-funded march 'outward' into the area of space now unlocked with Virgil's discovery. Then, as rapidly as it began, the situation reversed. The discovery of the StarCitizen:Vanduul in 2681 and the onslaught of their increasingly devastating raids brought Far Star and westward galactic expansion to a full stop. StarCitizen:Humanity was shocked by the complete fall (and subsequent StarCitizen:UEE abandonment) of StarCitizen:Orion. Virgil changed into a military outpost overnight, with entire fleets now operating out of the formerly quiet colony. A single jump away from Tiber, where the Empire now hoped to hold the line, Virgil's fields were adapted to support a massive military buildup. When Tiber fell, the Navy collapsed in full retreat and was unable to organize a secondary line as the Vanduul pushed relentlessly forward. The StarCitizen:Vanduul showed no mercy to the system, slaughtering military personnel and civilians wholesale. StarCitizen:Cyrene's idyllic biosphere was reduced to permanent clouds of ash, and some two hundred years of StarCitizen:Human expansion were erased from history. Several transports escaped the carnage, protected by interceptors from the famed StarCitizen:Squadron 214. Given the chance to escape the system with the transports they had saved, every member of the squadron chose to return to StarCitizen:Cyrene and attempt rescue of more civilians. In the ensuing years, Virgil had been visited by a number of Reconnaissance in Force missions until a network of surveillance buoys were covertly established by the Empire in 2790 to provide early warning of StarCitizen:Vanduul clans entering the system.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
