When Woodbine was settled in the late 23rd century, colonists never dreamed their planet would become the agricultural center it has become. So important is Woodbine that all the farm worlds in the Kilbourne and Milligan PDZs ship their produce to Woodbine for distribution throughout the Draconis March. Additionally, Woodbine produces its own not-insignificant agricultural output, which supplies Robinson with a major portion of its agricultural needs.
Woodbine’s continents, Reindl, Mansdor and Zebulon, have devised a crop rotation plan that allows farms on one continent to remain idle during the massive growing season, while replenishing the nutrients leached out by the crops grown in the previous season. The remaining farmlands are still more than able to meet production demands, and in that way there is enough left after harvest time that they can store up for winter.
Though Gastogne is Woodbine’s planetary capital, it is not the industrial center. Rhinehold, founded by the ruling family, is the heart of Woodbine’s industrial might. At the heart of Rhinehold is a kilometer-wide industrial park, dividing the city into two sections connected by thin commercial centers around the outside. A large, lightly wooded park with a manmade lake set among grassy banks, puts much-needed space between the heavy industrial sections and the administrative and residential areas of the city. What is not as well known is that Sutel has built a weapons production plant for their energy weapons research just outside of Rhinehold.
