Cirrion was the capital city of the planet Stratos.[1]

When Stratos suffered from a Chaos Cult uprising instigated by the Dragon Warriors, the three primary loft-cities of Stratos (Cirrion, Cumulon and Nimbaros) were the Cult of Truth's main targets. For a time, the Cult had near-complete control of all three primary loft-cities, but they pulled back and consolidated their hold on Cirrion.[1]

The Salamanders 3rd Company responded to Stratos's distress call, with Captain Ko'tan Kadai leading over half of the company in a mission to purge Cirrion of the Cult of Truth. They were successful, but Captain Kadai was slain in the final battle against the Cult.[1]

Trivia

  • Cirrion, like the other two major loft-cities on Stratos, is possibly named for a type of cloud (in this case, Cirrus or Cirrostratus).
