Geography
Kesai IV is a dry, barren world with a single sea. In the more temperate climate along the coasts forests are growing. The planet has only limited mineral resources and no native life.
History
Kesai IV was settled after the discovery of several deposits of radioactive minerals. When the deposits proved to be smaller than expected, only few settlers remained. Thereafter the world was used as a prison planet until the Star League purchased the rights to use it as a depot for the SLDF from House Kurita.
In the lead up to Operation UNION HOLD, the Star League invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, Senorbi was a border world between the Draconis Combine and the Outworlds Alliance. The Star League Defense Force marshalled the 6th Royal Division, a part of II Corps, on Kesai IV prior to the invasion; the 6th deployed forward from Kesai IV to Niles in 2581.[2][3][4]
The League built a vast complex of warehouses, factories, maintenance facilities, and DropShip pads around the planet's sea and stationed troops there. Although the SLDF stripped Kesai of most of its supplies prior to their departure to the Periphery, the remaining facilities and their inventory were still incredibly valuable for the Successor States. McKinnon's Company of the SLDF stationed there, refused to retreat, pledged their support for House Davion and defended the complex against a superior DCMS force in the First Battle of Kesai in December 2786.
Since the outbreak of the Succession Wars Kesai has been attacked countless times and most cities and forest burned down resembling the surrounding wasteland. Nevertheless, the depot remained a major source of supplies for the DCMS and later the AFFS who captured the world during the Third Succession War.
In 3065 the Draconis Combine finally reconquered the planet in the course of their reprisal attackes for the Draconis March invasion during the FedCom Civil War.

Notes
Most information on this page are from The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders, which introduced the world (spelled as Kasai) as a planet belonging to the Federated Suns since the fall of the Star League in contrast to the more recent Handbook: House Davion. Therefore it is unknown if the other information about the Star League depot and the beginnings of McKinnon's Raiders is still correct.
