[3132] Discovered almost by accident, Foochow was not colonized until the late 22nd century, by a sizeable
population escaping from China on Terra. The planet was named after the capital of the Fujian province in
southeast China. Like its namesake, Foochow became a seafood exporter, supplying many worlds. Foochow is
fairly unusual in that does not have large polar ice caps. The planet is like a large greenhouse. The one continent,
Min-how, is located along the equator and was mostly jungle when the first colonists landed. They spent the first
50 years fighting disease-carrying insects and Dobars, large six-limbed carnivores the size of black bears. The
settlers overcame the land and were able to make it productive, even taming some of the Dobars.
Foochow had very little industry until explorers discovered minerals on Min-how’s southwest coast. These
minerals were used to produce electronics. The town of Redswan is the planet’s leading industrial city. The planet’
s capital, Vashura, located on eastern Min-how, is the largest seaport and produces the bulk of the planet’s
exports in fish. During the Fourth Succession War, Foochow was captured and remained in Davion hands until
3057, when the planet was captured during the Marik-Liao invasion.
Foochow was not involved in the first few months of the Jihad,—until one of the Warrior Houses jumped into the
system. Soon thereafter, a small mercenary force in the employ of the Blakists entered the system and began a
high-speed burn toward the planet. Hidden among the planet’s moons, the Warrior House launched an aerospace
assault that completely destroyed the attacking mercenaries.
