The planet of Kaifeng has one moon, Nochen, which is described as very small (likened to an asteroid) and produces only the smallest lunar tides. The main export product is rice, which alone was reported to amount to four hundred million metric tons in [[3058]].<ref name="BF">''Binding Force''</ref>

There are three large colonized and cultivated districts, each administered by a single large city: Franklin in the southern hemisphere, Beijing and Tarrahouse in the northern. Tarrahouse sits next to the large Lake Ch'u Yuan (which is described as an inverted "L") and the large Jinxiang River. The latter cuts through the Shé Shan Hills in a fairly straight east-west line three kilometers upriver from Tarrahouse. A road runs alongside the river, but the bulk transport is by river barges. The planet's capital (and largest city), Mahabodhi, is situated outside the Beijing district and has the only operable full-service spaceport on the planet. It is also the primary garrison center. Food from all districts is brought to the respective administrative centers and shipped to Mahabodhi from there to be moved off-world.<ref name="BF"/>

[[Operation GUERRERO]] caused a massive shakeup in the Sarna March and the formerly Capellan territories that the Federated Suns had captured in the Fourth Succession War. With interstellar government power failing, the area became known as the [[Chaos March]]. The world of [[Sarna]] had repulsed an invasion attempt and subsequently reconstituted the ancient [[Sarna Supremacy]]. The little realm only encompassed three worlds including Kaifeng, which was the "breadbasket" world upon which the others relied for food imports.

In [[3058]], Kaifeng was invaded by [[Warrior House Hiritsu]], a key part in the Confederation's efforts to bring the resurgent Sarna Supremacy to its knees. Defending Kaifeng was the bulk of the former [[Kaifeng Sarna March Militia]] under the command of [[Leftenant General]] [[Cynthia Fallon]], along with some mercenary commands. (Kaifeng had been one of three administrative commands within the [[Palos Operational Area]] of the [[Sarna March]] prior to the formation of the Chaos March, and following the collapse of the Sarna March the Kaifeng Sarna March Militia had become a part of the military of the Sarna Supremacy without changing its name or commanding officer.)<ref name="CMp12"/><ref name="BF"/>
