La'uo (Virtus) system: a red giant and piracy… with a licence

With an expanding red giant at its centre, the UEE happily ceded this Perry Line system to the Xi’an. It’s known for its sanctioned piracy: the Xi’an Empire authorises select gangs to operate under conditions. That doesn’t make it lawless: unauthorised criminals face the wrath of the government… and of the sanctioned gangs.

🪐 Its worlds, from the star outwards

La’uo (Virtus) I · Pi’tua (evaporating planet)

Pi’tua, a planet evaporating since the star became a red giant.

La’uo (Virtus) II · Yengchuai (lava planet)

Yengchuai, turned into a lava planet. Mines and factories stand between huge lava flows, many of them hard-labour camps for Xi’an prisoners, which sentient-rights activists in the UEE denounce.

La’uo (Virtus) III · Kyu’ām (smog planet)

Kyu’ām, a smog planet heating up fast under the red giant.

S.ap’uāng, a gas giant with a turbulent, storm-wracked atmosphere.

☄️ Belts, clusters and stations

• Huichuaihyao y.ath’o se La’uo (asteroid belt): Made of small asteroids: Xi’an consortiums prefer to build their stations on its fringe.
• Huichuaihyao sy.en’o se La’uo (asteroid belt): No visible mining: probably still being surveyed.
