The planet is entirely covered by a deep ocean where organic life is abundant. New, often edible species of aquatic life are being discovered almost every day. Borneo is an undepletable source of food, feeding all Colonial bases in the region. When large pockets of gas were discovered beneath Borneo's ocean bottom, the colonials constructed several drilling platforms that send the mined gas (mostly [[Oxygen|O2]]) to the orbiting [[Minato Harbor]].

Discovered in 810 A.S., Borneo was a cold world covered mostly in ice, with some occasional small landmasses. It's oceans are rich in native fish-like fauna, which unfortunately proved highly toxic to humans. Still, the planet falls within tolerance for human settlement without the need for large-scale terraforming, and its many islands could harbor a small population. The Colonial Republic initially intended to settle the planet, having built Minato in orbit to handle supplies and colonists moving to and from the surface. This effort was interrupted by the invasion of the Gallic Navy.

The planetside colonies were hastily evacuated. Leaving behind a scattering of "ghost towns", Borneo was abandoned. Gallia has not shown an interest in restarting it's colonisation, citing the climate is undesirable compared to other Gallic worlds, all of whom still have space to spare. Some exobiologists were dispatched to the planet to study the planet's oceans. No more then 200 people currently reside on the planet in a single research camp supplied by Minato.
