The planet had highly developed urban areas, roads, and railways sprawled across island continents. The planet was also home to the headquarters of a shipbuilding corporation. [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were called in to defend the headquarters during the evacuation of their shipyards, under the justification that the machines, tools, and personnel that could be saved would be relocated to [[Reach]] to continue building parts for the war effort. A wealthy CEO built a castle in the colony, which would later prove valuable during the battle.
