The \"Aquarius\" N-Body project carried out by the Virgo Consortium
simulates six Milky Way-type dark matter haloes at the highest resolutions
yet achieved in comparable N-body simulations (in one instance achieving
10^9 particles within r_vir at z=0, with ~1000 solar
mass/particle). We build on these simulations by associating stellar
populations with individual particles, using the GALFORM semi-analytic
model, and following the tidal disruption of dwarf progenitor galaxies to
recover a host of observables for the metal-poor haloes, streams and
satellites of the Aquarius \"Milky Ways\", including spatial distributions,
kinematics and age/metallicity profiles. This talk provides a brief
overview of the Aquarius project and presents preliminary results from our
model.
