Gesentown is the moon of a huge brown-dwarf gas giant, which dominates a system possessing only two rocky planets and no planetoid belts. Gesentown was built for the elite Consular Guard, a Zhodani military formation representing the very best armed forces the Zhodani Consulate can field. The Guard maintains this forward base close to the Imperium in order to counter any threat form that direction, while situated away form civilian centers. The Consular Guard’s commander answers only to the provincial council of Iadr Nosobi, and is separate from the naval command at Cronor.

Non-Canon

Zhdienshdo was formerly known as Gesentown. This world is a base for a large contingent of the elite Consular Guard and its position is somewhat unique as a result. The CG units based are not apart 12th Fleet's command structure and answer directly to the Subsector Council on Cronor. This arrangement indicates that this force was intended, during the long Imperial-Zhodani conflict, to prevent "cultural infection" of colonial governments and the local military structure by outside Imperial influences. Despite the relaxation of tensions with the Imperials, this garrison remains in place and has been increasingly vital in the face of the Zhodani Exodus.
