==History==
==History==
===Founding===
The location that would become Pilvros started as a thirty acres area settled by the Hannibal family.<ref name="PoL19"/>
In [[2474]], the [[Hannibal family]] claimed thirty acres of land in [[New Carthage]]'s [[Pori]] region. This land would eventually become Pilvros, which was named after [[Jack Hannibal|Jack Pilvros Hannibal]]. By [[2505]], the family had constructed a building over the site of a large shard of variegated rock, called [[Pori Meteor]], and a [[Forerunner]] way station buried three kilometers beneath it. The structure built over the meteor became known as [[Hannibal HQ]] and it is likely that this location was selected purposefully by the Hannibal family after the discovery of the subterranean facility. Within the next six years, Jack Hannibal produced the first small-scale quantum photonic amplifier for [[SATCOM]] relays, which represented a great advancement in the speed and integrity of extraplanet communication. Hannibal's success would motivate him to found [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]], a manufacturer that would eventually hold a substantial amount of control over the entire colony, especially in Pilvros.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}}


===Post-war===
At some point a thermal reactor located at the [[Pilvros Municipal Support Facility]] was failing. The facility attempted to flood the reactor and save it but that failed, and as a result the city was evacuated.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/6fb19dac0a504569945c81dea778ef4f/perdition-screenshot-gallery ''Halo Waypoint'', Perdition Screenshot Gallery]</ref><ref>'''alo 4'', multiplayer map [[Perdition]]</ref> Before the reactor went critical, a team was dispatched to the site to retrieve full environment scans of the facility for study in hopes of preventing similar accidents in the future. These scans were later used to produce a simulated environment for [[War Games]] exercises aboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref name="evg"/> In [[2558]], the [[Pilvros Reclamation Facility]]'s overseer [[AI]], [[Dillan]], defected and joined [[Cortana]]'s [[Created]].<ref>''[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5cWjGBwGY_cMDlwUjB0akU2VDQ'' ''Halo 5: Guardians - Created pledges'']</ref>

In [[2558]], the [[Pilvros Reclamation Facility]]'s overseer [[AI]], [[Dillan]], defected and joined [[Cortana]]'s [[Created]].<ref>[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5cWjGBwGY_cMDlwUjB0akU2VDQ ''Halo 5: Guardians - Created pledges'']</ref> During the [[The Reclamation|rise]] of the Created in [[2558#October|October]] of that year, a [[Guardian Custode|Guardian]] emerged near Pilvros, causing a crater that swallowed part of an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] facility. At least two [[prowler]]s attempted to fight back but were quickly knocked out of the sky by its [[electromagnetic pulse]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HPoL36|HPoL|Chapter=36}} The entire planet, including Pilvros, was likely subjugated by the Created after this attack.
