System: Virtue

[2945] Though not a tyrant, Duke Clarion of Virtue was a hedonist of the first order, as were many of his supporters. While experimenting with recreational drugs, they overdosed to the point of psychosis. In their drugged state, they carried out several hellish offences against the citizenry. On hearing of these offences, Archon Marco Steiner sent in troops to arrest the Duke, and to protect the citizens.

[3025] Virtue is the site of the Lyran Commonwealths regional Military Intelligence Center that monitors the Periphery.

[3067] The city of Red Light is home to the headquarters of Virtue Cartographers Unlimited. Once a simple map-making service devoted to the needs of the career trader, Virtue Cartographers today encroaches on ComStar's area of expertise with its own small fleet of converted military freight vessels, refitted for duty as the company's own explorer corps. The ships were a purchase made possible by a grant from the late Archon Katrina Steiner in the mid-3030s, but it has taken the company close to twenty years to obtain a large enough fleet and enough qualified crews to undertake the lofty mission of deep space exploration outlined by then-CEO Louis Comrada.

The recent openness from ComStar after the Schism with the Word of Blake also allowed the rest of the Inner Sphere — including Virtue Cartographers — access to the more detailed maps maintained by the quasi-religious order. Now armed with new data, Pedro Comrada has modified his father's mission somewhat, and plans to use the VirCart fleet to explore the Deep Periphery for trade routes and worlds yet undiscovered.
