Owner History

Planetary Info

Despite being similar to Terra in several respects, Caselton is too dry and too cold to easily grow large amounts of Terran crops. Similarly it has enough mineral resources to support its population, but not enough to export. This results in a world with a low population that enjoys zero population growth.

The only real asset Caselton possesses is its proximity to Tikonov. Though the Capellan Confederation briefly held the world in the First Succession War, Caselton has been under the control of the Federated Suns for most of its history. The AFFS took advantage of the system's proximity to Tikonov by establishing heavy defenses against CCAF raids, including several underwater and underground command centers and military bases. These defenses stopped several Blakist assaults, but the Republic of the Sphere dismantled many of them during the post-Jihad peace.[1]

The fact that the world was primarily settled for military reasons is reflected in the names of the continents and capital city. The capital, Battlement, is located on the continent of Embrasure while Merlon missed the opportunity to have the capital.[1] Battlement, Merlon, and Embrasure are all terms from military engineering, specifically fortifications.
