Kesai IV, also known as Kasai, is a system on the border between the Federated Suns and the Draconis Combine near the Periphery. Its world Kesai IV is an infertile desert planet which is the site of a major Star League supply depot.
Planetary History[edit]
Kesai IV was settled after the discovery of several deposits of radioactive minerals. When the deposits proved to be smaller than expected, only a few settlers remained. Thereafter the world was used as a prison planet until the Star League purchased the rights to use it as a depot for the Star League Defense Force from House Kurita.
The League quickly built a vast complex of warehouses, factories, maintenance facilities, and DropShip pads around the planet's sea and stationed troops there. During the Reunification War the site already served as assembly point for Operation UNION HOLD, the Star League invasion of the Outworlds Alliance. The Sixth Royal Division, a part of II Corps, gathered here until they moved on to Niles in 2581.[6][42][43]
Although the SLDF stripped Kesai of most of its supplies prior to their departure to the Periphery, the remaining facilities and their inventory were still incredibly valuable for the Successor States. McKinnon's Company of the Second Battalion, 142nd Battle Regiment, 251st BattleMech Division was stationed here and refused to retreat. Instead they pledged their support for House Davion and defended the complex against a superior DCMS force in the First Battle of Kesai in December 2786.
Regardless of the outcome of the battle the world ultimately fell to House Kurita. Since then Kesai has been attacked countless times and most cities and forest burned down, resembling the surrounding wasteland. Nevertheless, the depot remained a major source of supplies for the DCMS and later the AFFS who captured the world during the Third Succession War.
In 3065, the Draconis Combine finally reconquered the planet in the course of their reprisal attacks for the Draconis March invasion during the FedCom Civil War.

Geography[edit]
Kesai IV is a dry, barren world with a single sea. In the more temperate climate along the coasts forests are growing. The planet has only limited mineral resources and no native life.[1]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Sea of Tears: the planet's lone sea[2]
- Walls of Sorrow: a north–south mountain range west of the Sea of Tears that extends across most of the planet[2]
Notes[edit]
- Much of the information on this page is from The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders, which introduced the world (spelled as Kasai) as a planet belonging to the Federated Suns since the fall of the Star League in contrast to the more recent Handbook: House Davion.
- The existence of the Star League depot was confirmed in Historical: Reunification War, but it is unknown if the information about the beginnings of McKinnon's Raiders are still correct.
- The database of the (apocryphal) 1989 video game MechWarrior, set around the year 3025, gives a population of 1.426 billion for Kesai IV and describes it as a "strategic military center and nothing else."
