In [[2474]], the Hannibal family settled on thirty acres within [[New Carthage]]'s [[Pori]] region. This land would eventually become the city of [[Pilvros]], named after [[Jack Hannibal|Jack Pilvros Hannibal]]. By [[2505]], the family had constructed a building—later becoming [[Hannibal HQ]]—over the site of a [[Pori Meteor|strange meteor]] and buried [[Forerunner]] structure. Six years later, Jack Hannibal had produced the first small-scale quantum photonic amplifier for [[SATCOM]] relays, revolutionizing the speed and integrity of extraplanet communications. Hannibal was hailed as a genius and he founded a lucrative new corporation, without anyone suspecting that these advancements were likely due to Hannibal's experiments with Forerunner technology.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}} | In [[2474]], the Hannibal family settled on thirty acres within [[New Carthage]]'s [[Pori]] region.
