| Canopus supports a large industry that produces heavy equipment and durable goods for colonial expeditions throughout the entire Confederation. Subsidiary concerns also manufacture a wide array of equipment used to construct permanent settlements on newly colonized planets. Canopus is the largest center of Andorian culture outside their home system. A Starfleet support facility is located on Canopus as well. | |
