Planetary Description & Notable Landmarks
The planet was once a barren world, consisting of three large land masses; Heavy Jungle cover of Celebes, the arid lands of Kang and heavily mountainous continent of Ionia.
Each of the these land masses have large cluster of island surrounding them. However, the land masses' coast lines are unhabitable due to the powerful tidal storms caused by New Kent's three moons.[5]

- Shandrake Massif - Area that was known to be site of a hidden Clan Steel Viper research complex. This site was a target of a failed raid by Ice Hellions to gain access to the complex.
Manufacturing Complexes
- New Kent Armor Works - Steel Vipers Manufacturing Complex in use as of 3060.[7][8]

Planetary History
Early History
In 4000 BC[11], the planet was struck by Comet in region would be called Eagle Crater. The cometary impact destroyed much of the planet's original ecosystem, but gave the planet abundance of mineral resources.[12]
Settlement and Terraforming
When New Kent was settled by Clan explorers, they had found that the planets' high carbon dioxide levels left the world very little native fauna. The planet did have number of aqua base life forms such as fish & amphibians. The planet's lands hand nothing above size of insects. The settlers over course of the centuries introduced Terrestrial based fauna to the planet's landscapes. HO2 Atmosphere allowed for these trees and planet thrive, specially on Celebes. During this period these settlers also introduced genetically enhanced mammals, including rabbits, wolves, deer and bears. These modifications allowed for future human settlements have more resources to exploit.[13]
Vipers & Coyotes and other Clans
The two of the planet's landmasses were claimed by Clan Steel Viper and it was made their capital world of their clan. Other Clans such as the Coyotes had were able claim modest chunk of the planet. Clan Ice Hellion & Diamond Sharks were able to establish small enclaves on the world. The Diamond Sharks had established their enclaves in mineral rich Eagle Crater region and created a number of industrial complexes.
However, Ice Hellions had attempted during these gold years of the clans to claim more of the world from the Vipers. They had attempted to claim on of the Ice Hellion's research complexes in a major attack, but were repulsed by the attempt.
Wars of Reaving
In 3075 the Home Clans declared a Trial of Annihilation on Clan Steel Viper when the former Ilkhan Brett Andrews murdered Star Adder Khan Stanislov N'Buta, and was killed by Sakhan Hannibal Banacek. The Clan forces arrived on New Kent to eliminate every Steel Viper on the planet. The Steel Vipers were able to fend off the invading Clan forces, but the Clans decided to finish off the Vipers by orbital bombardment.
