Description

Cassias is a tropical world located on the Draconis Combine/Federated Suns border. It also acts as the border between the "Outback" and the more densely populated inner systems of the Federated Suns. Originally settled by Islamic Indonesians in the 24th century, Cassias has since grown into one of the AFFS' most important regional commands. Cassias has served as a staging area in every major Federated Suns offensive against the Combine. Even outside of war, the world serves as a base for deep-penetration raiding forces and as a forward command post.[1]

Though it is highly prized for its location Cassias has a thriving agricultural industry based on textiles, rubber, and timber. There are also many common ores, petroleum deposits, and gemstones as well. All these exports provide a high standard of living for native Cassians.[1]

The inhabitants live on three continents: Borneo, Java, and Kalimantan. Their cities however are frequently found inside atmospheric domes to protect the inhabitants from the higher than average concentration of nitrogen in the atmosphere. The planet has many atmospheric scrubbers that have converted the atmosphere to something more hospitable to humans, but the cities remain domed.[1]

Having been subject to a number of deep raids across several worlds by Federated Suns commandoes and Draconis March forces seeking POWs from the FedCom Civil War in early August 3068[2], the Draconis Combine retaliated by launching a series of raids and attacks against Federated Suns worlds. The retaliatory attacks took place in the second week of September, and Cassias was one of the worlds hit by a raiding force.[3]
