Vir

Description
Vir is a  Class D uninhabitable planet located in the Minos Wasteland. The planet's surface was once made of lush jungles and rocky deserts. The planet was home to many small colonies and the Vothoffman Military Research Facility. The planet was later sterilized during the Tritachyon bombardment of the Minos system. Following the attack, the planet's surface is made up of stone. The planet has no atmosphere and the lava flows that cover the planet make any attempt at colonization impossible.

History
First colonized in 2075 during the Mass expansion period, Vir was home to many sprawling cities. It was the most populated planet outside of the Theta System and was a frequent spot for tourists due to its temperate climate. It was home to a secret weapons facility on the western hemisphere until it's discovery in 2205. Due the closeness of the planet to Tritachyon controlled space, and the fact that Vir wasn't explicitly controlled by the Coalition, the Tritachyon attacked the base with the intent to destroy it, sparking the Battle of Vir. Following the victory by the Coalition at the battle of Vir, the Tritachyon Armada began to bombard the planet, destroying cities and killing millions of innocent civilians. The massacre of Vir, as it was later called, was a rallying cry for Coalition forces and sparked the Trans-Galactic Civil War.
