Azha has three continents that cover more than 50 percent of the planet. Castellan, the main continent, is the largest of the three. The one distinctive feature of Castellan is its lack of mountains. Located on the southwest coast of Castellan is the planetary capital, Casella. Nestled in the surrounding flatlands and rolling hills, Casella had some of the largest supply depots in Capellan space. Located in the southern hemisphere, the continent of Brasilia is home to the planet�s lone major source of food; its climate is cool and moist enough to support food production. Ortega is the smallest of the continents and is the most underdeveloped. During the 2351�2352 Tikonov-Sarna War, such savagery was committee on Ortega that no one ever ventured back to the continent, giving rise to rumors of ghosts and hauntings are told even today.
When Blakist forces landed on Azha, they came in at a pirate point that allowed them to slip into orbit and land on Ortega. The local Capellan militia massed and, after ensuring that the depots at Casella were protected, they set out for Ortega to engage the invaders, whereupon they mysteriously disappeared and were never heard from again. The planet surrendered shortly thereafter.
