Strategic significance
Whilst Kapche-Lanka did possess considerable natural resources, it was not vital neither the Alliance nor the Empire. Combat on the planet's surface continued simply because neither side wished to see the other claim it.
Kapche-Lanka is also notable for being the site of Reinhard von Lohengramm's first military victories. He and Siegfried Kircheis were instrumental in defeating an Alliance tank attack on the Imperial base and subsequently also played a role in the attack and destruction of the Alliance base on the planet. For their accomplishments, they were both promoted and transferred off the planet and back to fleet duties. Six months after their departure, an Alliance counterattack wiped out the Imperial base and garrison.
Climate
Out of a 668 day year, over 600 days had wintry conditions with almost daily blizzards. These conditions rendered the planet unsuitable for regular use of aircraft so most of the fighting on the planet consisted of ground battles. (SWV: 'Chapter II')
