Biesel

Biesel was one of the first habitable exoplanets to be discovered by early extrastellar exploration. It was first colonised 2147, seventeen years after the development of the Warp Drive. Since it’s colonisation, Biesel has been among the largest of the colonies, and most importantly, the richest and most influential. The Federal Republic of Biesel and the Tau Ceti System was formed as a semi-independent state within the Sol Alliance, roughly one hundred and fifty years after it’s colonisation, alongside similar states around other major garden worlds; such as the Eridani Federation, containing Akhet and Isis. It is run by the Tau Ceti Assembly and State Senate in Mendell City.

Description
The planet itself holds three major continents, along with a multitude of smaller islands. The continents all display violent geographical features; such as mountain ranges and extinct volcanoes, this is unusual, as Biesel has a very low amount of tectonic activity; the general theory among leading geologists is that the features were caused by a significant asteroidal impact earlier in the life of Biesel, which is likely also the reason for the lack of sentient life on the planet.

Biesel has a population approaching three billion sapients; most of which are human. This population is primarily spread out over the continents; with very little of the population going offshore to the islands. There are a total of seven cities; including the capital, Mendell City; which is situated on the northernmost of the continents, Bisten; and is the largest city on that continent, while Phoenixport is the largest on the western continent, Glavir; and Kasri is the leading city of Quensi, the southernmost continent.

Mendell City contains the largest starport ever constructed, second only to the starports of Earth’s more prosperous superstates. This large facility is vital to the survival of the city, many megacorporations and small companies have situated their main offices in the city, taking advantage of the low taxation and cheap transportation.

Phoenixport is well-known across Biesel for it’s wondrous construction projects, replicating man-made wonders from old earth, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or the Taj Mahal.

Where Mendell is the heart of Biesel’s transport industry, Kasri is it’s production centre; skilled workers labour in immense manufactories, churning out luxury goods to be sold across Biesel and beyond.
