StarCitizen:La'uo system
More actions
Template:System The La'uo system Template:SClang. 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">Template:Cite RSI</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>Template:Cite RSI</ref> The Xi'an government retained control of the second planet, which is a mining and prison colony.<ref name=":0" />

Planets
Pi'tua (La'uo I)
A planet that has been evaporating away since the star entered the red giant phase.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Yengchuai (La'uo II)
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>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Kyu'ām (La'uo III)
A smog planet with a rapidly rising surface temperature due to the increased heat from the system's red giant.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
S.ap'uāng (La'uo IV)
A gas giant with a turbulent atmosphere plagued by electrical storms.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Asteroid Belts
La'uo Belt Alpha
Template:SClang Comprised of smaller asteroids, the Xi'an mining consortia prefer to build stations on the fringe of the belt from which to launch their mining operations.<ref name="ReferenceA">Template:Cite RSI</ref> The belt formed from a large planetesimal that failed to coalesce into a full planet and was broken apart to form the mineral and metal-rich asteroids.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
La'uo Belt Beta
Template:SClang This belt contains a large collection of high-purity water asteroids, which are harvested as a source of fresh water. 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>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
