	Biesel is a planet slightly larger than [[Earth]], with a more temperate climate that ranges from oceanic to tropical. Snow is rare on Biesel, with its winter seasons being marked by cold rains. As such, most coastal cities on Biesel are fortified to reduce infrastructural damage from flooding. Despite the flood risks, there is very little risk of tsunamis on Biesel because of almost non-existent tectonic activity. In the summer, tropical storms form frequently, but because of the smaller land area, can become very strong. Many coastal cities have detection systems that sound an alarm if the correct atmospheric conditions are met.

	The planet ~~has~~ a rich resource base, attributed to a collision with a large celestial body early in its development. This collision not only brought Biesel's moon, Valkyrie, into existence, but put a wealth of resources on the planet, all of which were mined up and used to fuel Biesel’s rapid growth..

	In the years after the initial touchdown of the SAEV Winterbottom, a number of Earth-originating species were introduced to Biesel's biosphere in the 2160s. Many of the species introduced to Biesel were endangered in their native environment on Earth; prior to the independence of Biesel, the colony had a "wildlife exchange agreement" with the government of Earth, in which species that had exploded in population on Biesel would have some of their number trapped and sent back to Earth as the planet's biosphere gradually recovered.

	As Biesel's general climate was similar to the Pacific Northwest of North America, many of its Earth-born species originate from there. The grey wolf, reindeer, and bald eagle's introduction to Biesel, while allowing the species to flourish, contributed to the rapid endangerment of the native white-breasted lakesurfer, an avian similar to a loon, and the barker, a large rodent.

	====Astraeus====		====Astraeus====
	Astraeus is the most affluent of Biesel's three continents and is home to the capital, Mendell City. Even today, it remains the most heavily populated area in Biesel, largely due to the availability of natural resources and the low-lying plains that were easily colonized by early settlers. Many of their homesteads soon turned into cities, eventually coalescing into the Megacity of Mendell, though some went on to form Cape City. All of the natural resources ~~on the continent~~ were ~~used up~~ in the construction of these great urban centers, and today it is primarily a service economy.		Astraeus is the most affluent of Biesel's three continents and is home to the capital, Mendell City. Even today, it remains the most heavily populated area in Biesel, largely due to the previous availability of natural resources and the low-lying plains that were easily colonized by early settlers. Many of their homesteads soon turned into cities, eventually coalescing into the Megacity of Mendell, though some went on to form Cape City. All of the continent's natural resources were depleted in the construction of these great urban centers, and today it is primarily a service-based economy.

	The second-largest continent of Biesel, Selene, is situated north of Astraeus. In spite of its size, Selene is the continent with the lowest population density of the three, with almost all of its inhabitants living in coastal towns. Those not biding their time on the coasts are usually tending the inland plains that often are lined with farmsteads. The Greatkrag range that runs across Selene has come to symbolize the Biesel Escarpment, an area consisting of steep slopes that transition into arctic plateaus, which entice those seeking to escape civilization.

	The largest continent of the three, Eos resides mostly within the eastern hemisphere of Biesel and is the most industrialized, having a majority of the Republic’s phoronics industry on it. Its cities formed along the mountain ranges, rich ~~with~~ natural resources to utilize in their industry, all of which were completely ~~scrapped dry~~ by the turn of the 2400s, fueling ~~NanoTrasesn’s~~ insatiable growth. As a result, the region has little economic activity besides that related to phoron, and so has been the most heavily affected, with unemployment twice as high in the region compared to Astraeus. Eos is also known for its sports fanatics, who host regular tournaments between Eos' major population centres and megacorporations on Biesel. The most popular of which is the Biesel Megacorporate Multi-Sports Competition, open to the other continents of Biesel.
