The largest city, Kollasa, is home to the planet�s massive food-processing plants. Processed foods are shipped to Algol City on massive barges on the Montrose River. Groffer�s Toll�located 150 kilometers south of Algol City�was home to a massive Federated Suns munitions plant and storage depot. On Durant, the city of Schan was the planet�s largest source of potassium and other important chemicals used in the production of munitions.
Algol has suffered little since the fall of the original Star League. It was Algol�s food production that kept the horrors of war from visiting it, unlike other worlds around Algol. This did not deter the Blakist forces, however, when they launched their Jihad. Faced with the threat of weapons of mass destruction, the Federated Suns defenders surrendered in order to protect the planet and its people. All AFFS troops were rounded up and shipped to Groffer�s Toll, where they were interned in a makeshift prison in the AFFS depot. The troops did not wait long before attempting to escape, in the process angering the Blakist commander. He promptly ordered the destruction of the depot, resulting in the deaths of all but a handful of AFFS troops.
