HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Kiruaagam's origins trace back to its days as an independent settlement, self-governing and thriving amidst Najarka's harsh environment. The early 850s brought the arrival of the First Order, who worked diligently to stabilize both the city and the planet. Significant advancements were made, particularly in the harnessing of geothermal energy, a resource plentiful due to the city's proximity to geothermal vents.
Despite the First Order's collapse, Kiruaagam continued to grow, eventually integrating into the Commonwealth in the late 870s. This transition was marked by substantial investments from Primo Victorian Enterprises and Aurora Industries, aiding in the city's development and ensuring its sustainability. By the early 880s, the Commonwealth had established a strong presence, honoring Kiruaagam's self-governance while providing the necessary support for its growth.
Throughout its history, Kiruaagam has faced various challenges, particularly in balancing the needs of its native population and the demands of external influences. Conflicts have arisen, primarily revolving around the geothermal resources and the city's cultural preservation. However, through a combination of arbitration, inclusive legislation, and community-driven initiatives, these issues have been managed, promoting a harmonious coexistence.
