Pribraltar, with its ideal natural harbour, was desirable as a base to Odonerene merchants and explorers seeking the riches of Vallos. Vessels sailing for the Keregulan Merchants of the Tropics, the [[Imperial Cola|Imperial Cronan Plantation Company]], and the [[Bay Trading Company]] called there routinely ''en route'' to and fro' [[Eusa]] and [[South Crona]], and later [[Takatta Loa]] and the [[Krasoa Islands]]. | Pribraltar, with its ideal natural harbour, was desirable as a base to Odonerene merchants and explorers seeking the riches of Vallos.

===Sunderance=== | |||
Pribraltar is extremely important to the history of the [[Kiravian Civil War]] and, in its aftermath, the [[Kiravian Sunderance]]. Pribraltarian banks were the destination for much of that massive, historically unprecedented {{wp|capital flight}} from [[Great Kirav]] that took place as the Kiravian aristocracy and bourgeoisie hurriedly shipped their riches overseas for safekeeping in fear of a Socialist victory. When that fear was borne out, it was these Pribraltarian banks that were instrumental in financing the survival of the [[Kiravian Remnant]] on Æonara and making its rapid economic and military development goals possible. Capital was drawn not only from the hoarded emigré wealth, but also from foreign investment, much of which originated in [[Caphiria]] and was facilitated through Hekuvian Coscivian financiers and channelled to the Remnant through Pribraltarian banks and Pribraltar-registered trading houses. Pribraltar's financial sector was thus a crucial link in the financial relationships between the embattled Remnant and sympathetic anti-communist powers. | |||
