Shensi is home to some of the largest forests in known space. During the great exodus, this timber lured people living in the great northwest of North America, northern China, and from Russian Siberia. Shensi would become an export leader of timber and iron ore. The three continents on the planet were covered with tens of thousands of kilometers of forest, yet the early settlers were able to carve out their new homes without damaging their new environment.
Klondike is the largest continent and is located on the equator and extends north. Its climate is the most temperate of the three. The capital city, Whitehorse, is located in the center of the continent. The continent of Mogot, where the Russian settlers colonized, produces the greatest amount of iron, titanium, and radioactive ores. Its climate is colder and it has fewer mountains. The northern expanses of the continent range far above the artic circle, where they exist as frozen tundra. Here petroleum wells have been drilled and oil stored for the world. On the continent of Kungara, enough of the landscape was open plains for various agricultural products to be grown to support the population.
When Shensi became a member of the Capellan Confederation, it brought much in the way of natural resources to support the fledgling realm. The CCAF recognized the value of the world and secretly built a number of hidden supply caches for strategic purposes. Shensi was lost to House Davion during the Fourth Succession War, but the locals never gave up the secret caches. When Shensi returned to the Confederation, their supplies was still there, save one cache that had been raided by pirates.
