The main continent has a large coastal mountain range along its east edge. There are three other sub-continent landmasses on the world, all of them easily reached by atmospheric transport craft.  More importantly the huge freshwater seas that make up the other 34% of the planet's surface are home to many imported [[Terran]] fish as well as reptiles.<ref name=OCC17/>	+	* [[Earthwerks Incorporated]]{{cn}}

−	''[[Handbook: House Liao]]'', published only a few months earlier than ''[[Objectives: Capellan Confederation]]'', mentions that Grand Base has multiple continents, but does not name any of them. However, ''Objectives: Capellan Confederation'' states that there is only one continent named Behemoth. No other sources confirms or contradicts either piece of information at this time.

The main continent has a large coastal mountain range along its east edge. There are three other continents on the world, all of them easily reached by atmospheric transport craft. More importantly the huge freshwater seas are home to many imported [[Terran]] fish as well as reptiles.<ref name=HB:HLp78/> The [[Grand Base Giant Crocodile]] is the undisputed master of the 6,000 kilometer long Parung River.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 140</ref> ==Planetary History== ===Succession Wars=== ====Fourth Succession War==== '''Grand Base''' was the personal holding of [[Colonel]] [[Pavel Ridzik]]. It served as a large military training, staging, and repair facility. Grand Base also boasted the second-largest [[BattleMech]] production facility in the Capellan Confederation. Only [[Tikonov]]'s vast factories are larger.<ref name=HSLp135/> In [[3030]], Grand Base became a battlefield. [[Warrior House Fujita]] drove the attacking Andurien forces off world.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 47</ref> The defeat of the [[6th Defenders of Andurien]] by the Warrior House, militia regiments, and [[Death Commando]] trainees, provided a huge morale boost to the Confederation's armed forces.
