Discovered in 810 A.S., Borneo is a frigid world of dotted land masses and sparse coastlines. Its oceans contain a diverse array of fauna that serves as a base for simple organisms that make up the local ecology, all of which is highly toxic to humans. Large forests of trees similar to Earth aspen and fir sweep across islands on the planet’s equator, providing a breathable atmosphere. Despite the harsh environment, the planet is indeed capable of supporting human settlement without the need for large-scale terraforming, though dependence upon biodome produced food and limited exposed ground limits the islands to small colonies.

The Crayter Republic intended to settle the planet, building Minato Harbour in orbit to handle supplies and colonists bound for the surface. However, colonisation was interrupted by the invasion of the Gallic Royal Navy in its early stages, forcing a planetary evacuation. The Gallic forces showed no interest in restarting the colonization efforts and dispatched a single research team to study the ecology.

This team was quickly withdrawn by the Gallic Royal Navy following the defection of Oblique in 824 A.S. When a combination of Council and Crayter Military forces recaptured Minato, they discovered the settlements had been utterly neglected during the Gallic occupation, the structures battered to a ruinous state by the harsh and unforgiving environment, adding considerable cost to the already sizable sum needed to restart colonization.
