Founded after the Romulan War by a joint Human-Alpha Centauri colonial mission, Benecia remains a vast welderness planet, only one quarter of which has ever been explored. Local industries include forrestry and processing native raw minerals. The local inhabitants have resisted the importation of excessive technology, with an eye toward disturbing the local envorinment as little as possible. Benecia was also the home of the Back-to-Earth movement, which had a widespread following until it collapsed after the second Babel Conference. Current Benecian population is less than 25,000. |
