Planetary Inf

A world of extreme seasons and massive mountain ranges, Foot Fall has very little arable land. What farmland does exist is rich however and easily produces enough food to feed the entire population. The lack of farmland and ocean is offset by the vast mineral wealth present in the mountains. Mining and refining of metal ores is the single largest industry on the world.[1]

For most of its history Foot Fall's terrain and location made it an unlikely choice for assault. The Capellan Confederation enjoyed the output from the various industrial concerns for hundreds of years. That changed during the Fourth Succession War. The Fifth and Sixth Crucis Lancers destroyed the local militia and Foot Fall became part of the Federated Suns.[31] For the next thirty years, Foot Fall's exports found their way into Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth factories. During the chaos that erupted after Operation Guerrero, Foot Fall fell out of the Federated Suns' control and rejoined the Capellan Confederation.[citation needed]

Geography

Foot Fall has two continents named Hohhot and Ulaanbaatar. Hohhot is the larger of the two continents and is located in the southern hemisphere, while Ulaanbaatar is located in the northern hemisphere. Both continents feature expansive mountain ranges and relatively little arable land, although the arable land that exists is prolifically fertile. What the two continents lack in arable land they make up for in mineral resources, with Ulaanbaatar having huge reserves of iron ore, while Hohhot has rich veins of precious metals. The climate on Foot Fall produces abrupt seasons, with winter featuring snowstorms of Biblical proportions, easily capable of dropping 60-70 centimeters of snow in just a few days.[1]

Planetary Locations

  • Ganz: the planetary capital city, located in the Fen Fang Fu delta region on the north cost of Hohhot.[1]
