{{ApocryphalContentStart}}According to the ([[apocryphal]]) German-only novel ''Blutige Jagd'', Andiron as of 3067 was thought to have a population of some 200,000 people, with only one major city, Port Saul, that also holds the presidential palace and the only spaceport. There are hundreds of smaller farming settlements across the planet, including Corrington (near Port Saul) which was firebombed during local fighting in 3067.

[[LAAF]] officer [[Hans Grüner]] all but purchased Andiron as a personal fief from the Circinus Federation in [[3062]], and ruled it from afar through his brutish local right-hand man, Major [[Pavel Wolkov]]. Through Wolkov, Grüner surreptitiously took total control of the entire world over the next years by gradually replacing militia officers with people loyal to himself, and by getting the local Circinus Federation garrison (the [[mercenary unit]] [[Gray's Ghosts]]) transferred off-world. His total control of Port Saul and the spaceport, and the absence of an [[HPG]] on Andiron, allowed Grüner to sideline his Federation liaison officer.

As the [[FedCom Civil War]] drew to a close, Grüner fled [[Tharkad]] to Andiron on 2 April [[3067]] with his followers and several [[DropShip]]s full of military hardware and treasures. He subsequently cached two entire battalions of [[BattleMech]]s and sought to recruit loyal academy-trained professional soldiers to man them, hoping to use this secret army in a decapitation strike against Circinus to take control of the entire Federation. However, in July 3067 a combined [[Kell Hounds]]/[[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] force appeared at Andiron and, after initial setbacks, captured Grüner, returning him to Lyran space to stand trial. The Gray's Ghosts mercenaries resumed garrison duty on the planet in early September of 3067.{{ApocryphalContentEnd}}
