A high-population, heavily industrialized world in the Vilis Subsector of the Spinward Marches. Vilis has a cool climate and a dense oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere bearing industrial pollutant taint.

The main exports of Vilis include warships, weaponry, and high-technology goods. Vilis shipyards operate under a Imperial contract to produce patrol cruisers and a larger class of frontier destroyer for the open market.

Vilis society is quite heavily militarized, though the military itself is plagued with inefficiency. Vilis was originally settled by Sword Worlders from Morglay (Gungnir), who named it Svavasorm. Vilis became a client state of the Imperium in 470 and a full member in 552. Public opinion is still very much in favor of retaining ownership of the Garda-Vilis (Spinward Marches 1118) "colony."
