[3067]A large world of large oceans, diverse wildlife, and a few veins of mineral resources, the biggest obstacles
to the colonization of Yorii were the planet's stronger-than-average gravity, its native, territorial wildlife, and the
fact that its soils did not support the majority of Terran food crops.
None of these factors proved insurmountable to the early colonists, however, who simply learned to adapt and
established thriving industrial and mining communities on three of Yorii's four island-continents. Heavy-metal
deposits, some very deep below the planetary surface, and most accessible to off-shore drilling platforms,
provided the basis of the planetary economy, while the few hybrid food crops that could be grown became the
staples of the planet's mostly Asian population.
On the continent of Yokohama, where the dominant native life-form, the Yoriian tiger-raptor, was most populous,
the colonists built high walls around their settlements and farmlands, and began a hunting initiative that brought the
bold reptilian predators under control within a decade. In the days of the Star League, Yorii's capital city, Neo-
Tokyo, set on the shore of the planet's largest continent, Shokaku, was a haven for commercial trade between the
Draconis Combine and the Terran Hegemony, and a healthy portion of the city's population claimed dual
citizenship in both realms.
During the Amaris crisis, the Usurper's troops used many of Yorii's larger cities and industrial complexes as
battlefields when the SLDF came to liberate the planet, which ravaged the planet's economy and infrastructure,
rendering millions homeless and millions more dead. Neo-Tokyo was left totally uninhabitable when the last of
Amaris' holdouts deliberately sabotaged the fusion reactor that powered the city in an effort to distract the League
troops while they made an escape attempt.
The Draconis Combine easily assimilated Yorii after the fall of the League, establishing the planet as a forward
base for raids against the Lyran Commonwealth, Capellan Confederation, and Federated Suns. Despite
numerous punitive raids and the ravages of the Succession Wars, Yorii gradually managed to reclaim some of its
former prosperity.
Each of the four populated continents - Shokaku in the south, Yokohama to its northeast, Khesan and Xu-Lai in
the north - now support a handful of major cities, with the new capital city of Shenobi on Yokohama.

Prefecture X under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic was
created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
