Catulla is the sixth planet
in the system of Theta Pictoris, a moderate-sized red-orange star with nine
planets. In mass,
Catulla is quite similar to Terra, and it has two moons, Milon and Mitaer. The
planet is the home of a thriving humanoid
society of about 9.5 million that has built a huge industrial network covering
the planet. Long ago, a massive nuclear war all but wiped out the accumulated
knowledge and culture of the planet. The Catullans have struggled for centuries
to regain the level of technology and civilization they once had established.

Catulla is a man of extraordinary vision and ability. His studies in space science
and Interplanetary relations have resulted in several breakthroughs in treaty
negotiation, bringing peace end co-operation on several Federation planets.
His efforts have brought him the Palm Leaf of Axaner Award, the Seltye Commendation,
and the Nobel end Zee Magnee prizes. Harrell Hullworks, one of the Federation's
leading producers of warp spacecraft bodies, is located on the northern edge
of the continent of Tesaker, with separate construction facilities above in
