| − | The main continent, Castellan, holds the planetary capital of Casella. The CCAF warehouses are located in this city. The smaller continents are Brasilia (to the south) and Ortega. Brasilia is the location for most of Azha's farms. Ortega is abandoned, and has been since the Tikonov-Sarna War that happened between [[2351]] and [[2352]]. The sheer amount of damage inflicted by the war marked it as a haunted place that no one dares venture into.<ref name= | + | The main continent, Castellan, holds the planetary capital of Casella.

The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat - or use - of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defenses; Azha was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> |

Incorporated into the [[Republic of the Sphere]], Azha was left outside of [[Fortress Republic]] when [[The Wall|the Wall]] went up in [[3135]]. In January the next year the Capellan Confederation moved to reclaim the world. A small mercenary unit known as the [[Past Knights]] opposed them, holding a critical bridge near Naples and downing several Capellan tanks and 'Mechs before they were beaten.<ref name=ER:3145p19/><ref name=TR:3145p164/> | Incorporated into the [[Republic of the Sphere]], Azha was left outside of [[Fortress Republic]] when [[The Wall|the Wall]] went up in [[3135]].
