History
The colony was founded long before the events of the game along with many other colonies by the Homs to protect themself from the dangers of the Bionis.

Fourteen years before the events of the game, Dickson find a divine sword called "The Monado" and bring it back to the colony. One year before the events of the game, the soldiers of the colony fought along with the soldiers from Colony 6 against the Mechon at the First Battle of Sword Valley where many from both colonies died to protect their homes, Dunban, "The Hero of Colony 9" is able to use the Monado to fight them off at the cost of one of his arm.

At the beginning of the game, The colony is at peace since the end of the war against the Mechon, Shulk is studying the Monado to unlock its power in case of another Mechon attack, while him, Reyn and Fiora were off to retrieve Ether cylinders for the colony's forces, the Mechon after one year of silence launced an attack led by Metal Face on the colony, destroying the habitations and killing many inhabitants including Fiora before their retreat.
