  ROBOTECH: Description and History of Tirol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The third moon of Fantoma, Tirol is the traditional seat of Tirolian civilization, though the Robotech Masters abandoned the surface centuries ago to dwell in their artificial clone-societies aboard their orbital motherships, leaving the bulk of the populace on the planet below.
Tirol is, on the whole, marginally denser than Earth (thanks to a larger core relative to the planet's size), and possesses a surface gravity 92% of Earth's.
Tirol is somewhat tectonically active, as the other moons disturb the planet's phase-lock with Fantoma, but continental drift away from the supercontinent is relatively minimal, thanks to the Fantoman tides.

Tirol added that Ontong was not even present during the Jan. 12 session “and I reiterate that the statement was “not even addressed to her in the first place”.
