Kirogost, located in the Pantolomin system was a practically unheard of world. Owned by the Nautolan Society, a non-faction at the time, it produced little income and had very low civilization ratings. During Year 9, Day 97, a massive power surge damaged the city and turned off power to all buildings, giving the local government little control. Seeing an empty and unused planet, an unknown faction cleared space for three new cities, Larissa, Ivory Tower, and Lorcano. Because the Nautolan Society's power over the planet was now shaky, the faction was not required to have build permits.
