When the Great War began growing out of control, the peaceful Circle of Light abandoned Cybertron to find a new home, ultimately settling down on Theophany where they built an underground city named after the old Crystal City. Drift #2 Thousands of years later, Braid and his Slavers arrived on the same planet and set up a camp used to imprison their slaves. The Decepticon Deadlock stumbled onto this camp after crashing onto Theophany in an escape pod, and ended up being found by the Circle of Light and taken to Crystal City. Drift #1 His influence eventually led to the Circle reevaluating their decisions, raising their city to the surface and destroying the Slavers. Drift #4

Some time following Deadlock/Drift's departure from Theophany, Crystal City was attacked by Legislators, the Circle of Light vanished without a trace, and the local area of space was annexed by the Galactic Council. Once Drift returned with the Lost Light to recruit the Circle's help, he and the others investigated the ruins of the city and found a Metrotitan sleeping beneath it. They were quickly forced to leave again due to trouble with the Council. Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations
