History
Vergil was constructed in 2021 at the CELAN Mustard Manor Chipyards. Its unique chassis -- that of a 2000-era Power Mac G4 -- is the realization of a long-term vision of Lightstricken, and required a long-term modification process with weeks of measurements, modifications, tests and adjustments. Upon completion of the case, the storage and CPU systems from his former commission, Heart of Gold, were moved to the new housing. Vergil was completed May 20, 2021, and formally commissioned June 25, 2021.
Tuning is still ongoing, but the despite increased thermal load Vergil is stable and LAN-ready. The system is presently the most powerful stealth system in the CELAN Fleet -- as well as the only stealth system outside of the Auxiliary Fleet.
