Virgo star system

The **Virgo star system** is a pre-charted primary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

Virgo is a valuable transit system for the manifold resources Thuban could produce after a major reconstruction effort and is the only pathway to Vega outside of expensive jump casting. It is also famously the home of the Harris Corporation which is know among the quadrant as a mining company of some renown.

Despite its clear neutrality and granted independence by the Federation in 2374, the system of Virgo like the independent system of Vega in earlier centuries ended up under Alliance control after their victory over the Federation of Thuban. While most of the infrastructure remains intact some facilities and cities on Virgo were damaged beyond repair and remain abandoned. No one truly believes these proud people willingly joined the Alliance, but claiming this publicly is dangerous.

## Location

The **Virgo star system** lies on the border between the Virgo region and the Spica region.

## History

### During Legends

Virgo is a lightly populated system of mostly colonists. While the system is technically in Federation controlled space, it was given independence in 2374 and has been almost entirely self-sufficient since that time. Its inhabitants pride themselves in their abilities to live off their own resources and typically discourage outside trade. As a result, they offer very little for most items and commodities. How this system has remained to survive for so long without outside assistance and do so well has been a long term mystery. Rumors suggest they control a hidden world somewhere nearby that supplies resources they would otherwise not have access to.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Light presence, serves agricultural industry.
* Navy/Military - Moderate presence, well equipped for such limited resources.
* Rebels - Light presence, elusive, mostly remain outside of traffic areas.
* Guilds/Clans - Light presence, also mostly remain outside of traffic areas.
* Miners - No significant presence.

### During Mercenaries

While the system was well armed after the Arvoch Conflict during which it was temporarily occupied by the Rebel Alliance, their self-imposed isolation slowly outdated their military standards. A later civil war against clans that supported more open and progressive factions for the government ruined most of what was left. Nowadays the fleet of Virgo is not the envy of other independent Evochron systems, but barely an equal.

Navy/Military - Moderate presence, limited ship and weapon resources.

### After the Insanity War

The independent and neutral system of Virgo has become part of the empire after the Alliance won in the south against the Federation. Despite its neutrality in the war it has lost part of its planetary settlements on Virgo after the Insanity War in the south concluded.

Rumours of alleged bombing of the planet to force them to submit to the Alliance are entirely unfounded and this disinformation is squashed. The admittance of the free and proud (xenophobe) system of Virgo was by their own "free" will.

## Trade Routes

Virgo borders many systems and with its general economy can deliver to either when prices are good. It also in itself offers two regions with barely a jump, allowing internal stock exchanges to develop around its general goods.
