Rhodesia is commonly called the breadbasket of the west due to it's tremendous agriculture sector. Apart from that it also hosts lush wildlife and a primitive species know as the Cathrani.

History
Rhodesia was colonised in the late Stellar Ascension when another planet was needed to grow more foods. Rhodesia was selected for this purpose due to its lush vegetation. It was colonised by Stoinians of English descent lead Rhodes who became their nobility. Because of Rhodes prominence in farming techniques specifically for the planet, it was named after him. It's main focus is to provide food for the then called Reach Sector. Not only did it need to partially sustain Reach, but all the western colonies as well.
Rhodesia suffered rather mildly compared to Reach due to MacArthur's Planetary Fortress policy. Nonetheless the Rhodesians proved to be exceptionally dedicated not only in farming, but fighting as well. For that reason they were made the new sector capital after Reach was glassed. Rhodesia to this day remains known as the breadbasket of western Stoinia.

Geography
Although 60% of the planet is a giant landmass with multiple inland seas, it still holds a warm and tropical climate. Most of the settlements are in the southern hemisphere concentrated around large cities such as Salisbury. The majority of the land is savannah, although at the equator there are large forrests which host the Cathrani. The Terrans generally tend to stay away from the forrests as the Cathrani have shown to be quite territorial. Large circular rock structures can be found all over the planet in the many fields. How these structures came to be is still a mystery, but nonetheless make very scenic view.
 

Fauna and Flora
Its most notable fauna are the Kybucks, Moa's and Cathrani. The Kybucks have been domesticated and have become the symbol of Rhodesia. They form an essential part in Rhodesian culture as well. The Moa's are a large bipedal bird which is often found on the steppes. They are more commonly farmed on large open fields. The Cathrani are the indigenous native of the planet who currently are living in what would be the stone age. Whether they have attained sapience is still debated, though Stoinian research suggest that they haven't.
 

Satellites
Rhodesia has one barren satellite named Wilson. Even if it is barren it hosts no interesting carachteristics because it is very poor in minerals and thus it isn't used for any type of mining operation. Instead Rhodesia has a rather large Spaceport and shipyards.
