==== Star League Era ====
 
Looking to unlock the potential agricultural wealth on Yangtze, the Capellan Confederation invited the [[Terran Hegemony]] to jointly administer Yangtze during the Star League era. Hegemony engineers constructed thousands of dams and dikes on the two continents, looking to control the massive floods; this successfully converted both continents into prime agricultural land and encouraged a massive expansion in the planetary population, which rose in number by an order of magnitude compared to its pre–Star League levels.<ref name=DARWp94/>

=====Second Succession War=====
During the [[Second Succession War]], the flood controls on the Sung continent were sabotaged by a group of rogue mercenaries. The result was mass devastation and the deaths of a large percentage of the population. The Han continent continued to be productive despite the loss of output from Sung, and Yangtze remained a major agricultural world for the Confederation.<ref name=DARWp94/>

The [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] conquered Yangtze in a relatively bloodless campaign during the [[Fourth Succession War]] and held the planet for several decades until it was finally recaptured by the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] during the [[FedCom Civil War]].<ref name=DARWp94/>

Yangtze was attacked and conquered by the [[Word of Blake]] in September 3069, which resulted in it being incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> In an attempt to control the population, the Blakists disabled the flood controls on Han.<ref name=DARWp94/> Yangtze was subsequently liberated in early 3077 by forces from the Federated Suns front of [[Operation SCOUR]]. [[Field Marshal]] [[Katheryn Sandoval-Ito]] led the campaign personally, at the head of Group I, and brought all three ''[[Fox (WarShip class)|Fox]]''-class [[WarShip]]s assigned to the task force to ensure the prosecution of the campaign against the dug-in defenders.<ref name="JHS:Tp36">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36: "First Wave Complete"</ref> The decision to deploy all three WarShips was doubtless driven by the information obtained at great cost by the [[Battle Corps Legion]] in February 3077 about the defenses on Yangtze; the Legion was a part of the mobile command tasked directly by the allied coalition command group under [[General]] [[Belle Lee]], and had been ordered to perform reconnaissance on Yangtze ahead of the Federated Suns task force attack. The Battle Corps Legion was evidently under heavy attack within minutes of landing, losing a [[company]] of troops in the first half hour of the mission before the remaining elements of the Legion's Alpha Battalion went to ground, ordering the surviving [[DropShip]]s to lift off immediately.<ref name="JHS:Tp36A">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36: "S.O.S."</ref> The intelligence obtained by those surviving transport vessels was used by Sandoval-Ito to plan her campaign against Yangtze.<ref name="JHS:Tp36"/> Group I used the information gathered by the Battle Corps survivors recovered from Yangtze to outflank the Blakist defenders on the ground, while targeting the most strongly defended areas with orbital strikes to eliminate the greatest pockets of resistance.<ref name="JHS:Tp36"/>

The [[Republic of the Sphere]] attempted to repair the damage done to the flood control systems on both continents, beginning with repairing the least-damaged dikes and dams. By 3130 the Republic had managed to correct enough damage to restore agricultural production on the planet to approximately a quarter of its peak levels.<ref name=DARWp94/> Between [[3110]] and [[3130]] [[DiNapoli Industries]] founded a number of manufacturing divisions on Yantgtze, primarily producing light equipment and items to support heavy manufacturing by DiNapoli on other worlds. Following the takeover of DiNapoli Industries by [[Jacob Bannson]] in [[3132]], large scale lay-offs off DiNapoli employees on Yangtze began as Bannson moved to close the divisions, despite widespread union protests.<ref name="DA3132p36"/>

===Geography===
 
Yangtze's two small continents, which they named Han and Sung, were flat, covered in a thick layer of fertile soil and fed by seasonal flooding from the many slow-moving rivers on each continent they named the planet Yangtze after the floodplain of the same name on Terra. It wasn't until the era of the [[Star League]] that Yangtze truly prospered, however; fear of the wide-scale inland flooding caused the settlers to build small villages and towns huddled on the rocky coasts of the two continents, rather than building inland.<ref name=DARWp94/>
