Cassias I, more commonly known simply as Cassias, is the innermost planet in the Cassias system and has four moons named Bambang, Budiono, Kinjuri, and Ramah.<ref name=HBHD99/>  By the [[thirty-first century]], the inhabitants of Cassias lived mostly on the three main continents: Borneo, Java, and Kalimantan. Their cities however were frequently found inside atmospheric domes to protect the inhabitants from the higher than average concentration of nitrogen in the atmosphere. The planet had many atmospheric scrubbers that had converted the atmosphere to something more hospitable to humans, but the cities remained domed.<ref name=HBHD99/>

Cassias is a tropical world located on the Draconis Combine/Federated Suns border. It also acted as the border between the "Outback" and the more densely populated inner systems of the Federated Suns. Originally settled by Islamic Indonesians in the twenty-fourth century, Cassias grew into one of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]' most important regional commands. For centuries Cassias served as a staging area in every major Federated Suns offensive against the Combine. Even outside of war, the world served as a base for deep-penetration raiding forces and as a forward command post.<ref name=HBHD99/>

Though it was highly prized for its location Cassias had a thriving agricultural industry based on textiles, rubber, and timber. There were also many common ores, petroleum deposits, and gemstones as well. All these exports provided a high standard of living for native Cassians.<ref name=HBHD99/>

After the initial [[DCMS]] attack on Evans' position had been thrown back, ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Davis Shotoku]] of the Ryuken-go led elements of his command on a flanking attack that led them into direct combat with the Third Battalion of the Seventeenth. The Commanding Officer of the Third Battalion, [[Major]] [[Chad Thomas]], was killed in the first few minutes of the battle, and [[Captain]] [[Sarah Blair]] assumed command of the battalion from the cockpit of her ''[[Bushwacker]]''. Sarah's leadership led to the Third throwing back repeated attacks by the Ryuken-go, and gun camera footage from the engagement showed Blair trading fire with Shotoku's ''[[Hatamoto-Chi]]''.<ref name="TRO:3058Up136"/>
