Keid was one of the first worlds settled when humanity took to the stars,<ref name=DA:RWp242/> and was one of the worlds that remained a part of the Terran Alliance following the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] and the [[Demarcation Declaration]] of [[2242]],<ref name="HB:HMp16"/> later becoming one of the worlds within the [[Alliance Core]] region of the Terran Hegemony.<ref name="H:RWp159"/>  With its huge fields of arable land, Keid quickly established itself as a major exporter of foodstuffs and became the homeworld of several Terran Hegemony agribusinesses, including [[Dukempic Foods]].

The [[Star League Defense Force]] also established several bases on the planet. Chief among these were two [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]], Fort Grissom and Fort Settlemyer, and the [[SLDF#Fleet School of Keid|Fleet School of Keid]]. During the [[Amaris Civil War]] the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] troops assigned to Keid destroyed these SLDF facilities, along with several cities, college campuses, and all the orbital facilities, including factories and a shipyard. The Republican troops did not employ nuclear or biological weapons however, which allowed Keid's inhabitants to make a relatively quick recovery after the Amaris Civil War.<ref name=DA:RWp242/><ref name=TSLp173/>

In the aftermath of the Civil War one of Keid's nobles, hoping to undermine his local competitors in the grocery franchise business, sent false reports to the shattered Hegemony government on Terra claiming that famine was endemic on Keid. Despite Keid's well-known status as a food ''exporter'', the postwar Hegemony government was so incompetent that it took the reports at face value and ordered food stripped from the American Midwest region on Terra for shipment to Keid.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 154</ref>
