Capella is a desert world populated by Humanoid nomads who many be the descendants of a lost Terran expedition. Theri loose tribal organization is only beginning to take on coesive political unity. The planet is valuable for its various industrial grade crystals and other ores. The Confederation has negotiated a temporary trade agreement with the Capellans, although trade has not yet officially begun. The planet is also known for its indigenous life forms, including the Capellan power cat. |
