Torch was an inhabited planet in the Congo System and the throne world of the Kingdom of Torch, a star nation of freed slaves.

Formerly known as Elysium, Verdant Vista, and Congo, it was under the control of Manpower Incorporated’s subsidiary Verdant Vista, until a joint force of the Audubon Ballroom and the Maya Sector Detachment's Solarian League Marines seized control and established the independent Kingdom of Torch.
