Admiral Stephen Virities graduated from the Imperial Naval Academy in 1971 at the top of his class. He quickly moved up the ranks, serving in a number of positions. During his career, he served under such figures as Lord Yornis Halton and Emperor David IV, when the Emperor was himself a naval commander.

Virities was the commanding officer of then-Vice Admiral Derek Kunle during the later's operations in the Esperi Conflict and in Upper Virginia. Any resentment Virities may have felt, however, when Kunle was elevated to Chief of Imperial Naval Operations was kept quiet and out of the public spotlight.

Virities is currently the commander of the Imperial Navy's Home Fleet, its largest and best equipped force.

Virities is known as a man who keeps his own counsel,but who is willing to be frank with superiors and accept frankness from subordinates in operational mattes. Nevertheless, he is known to studiously follows orders and maintain a well disciplined command.
