The city was originally a corporate mining town, intentionally established and laid out to keep the money within the corporation. The mining corporation's workers would live in Scyllion and pay the corporation rent to live in an apartment run by a division of the corporation. Workers would shop at stores ran by the corporation and "travel on the company line". | The city was originally a corporate mining town, intentionally established and laid out to keep the money within the corporation.

Prices dramatically raised and the cost of living in the city exceeded the amount the company was paying them, causing most of Scyllion's residents to become in debt.

Soon, a rival mining corporation attempted to gain mining rights on the colony, but was forbidden by the puppet government. The new company funded Scyllion's dissatisfied residents to protest against the old company in [[2525]], leading to the [[civilian security forces|police forces]] of the colony to shoot several protesters. Following the incident, [[Insurrectionist]]s became more common on the planet. The corporations on the planet have been funding attempts to remove all assets from the city and back into the [[Inner Colonies]]. In [[2534]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] agents working in Scyllion recommended for the [[UNSC]] to implement martial law on the city. | Soon, a rival mining corporation attempted to gain mining rights on the colony, but was forbidden by the puppet government.
