| A small world, with jungles covering much of its four main landmasses, Capolla�s rich metal ore deposits and other raw materials drew many settlers when the planet was discovered in the twenty-second century. Even before the days of the Star League, this world had developed such a strong and diverse economic and social base�devoid of any major military industries�that the government of the Terran Hegemony allowed the planet a limited autonomy, along with its neighboring system, Terra Firma. The Capellan Confederation, which seized the world after the fall of the League, and even the Federated Commonwealth after that, continued this policy of laissez-faire, which contributed to the formation of the short-lived Terracap Confederation by the two worlds after the collapse of the Commonwealth. Even the Word of Blake, in exchange for the right to place military bases and �reeducation facilities� on-planet before the Jihad, continued the hands-off policy toward the tiny alliance�s political and business affairs, and pledged their troops to the defense of these two worlds. In this latter case, however, the citizens of Capolla and its neighboring Terra Firma became unwitting accomplices in the Jihad, turning a blind eye to the Blakists� atrocities in exchange for their own worlds� relative safety. When allied forces came to drive off the Blakist defenders, the native militias were split along pro-Blakist and anti-Blakist lines, and Capolla�s cities suffered grievous damage in the fighting. The majority of Capolla�s population today lives in large cities, including the planetary capital of Stockdale, nestled in the planet�s many mountain valleys on the equatorial continents of Konowalchuk and Dominus. Most of the on-world mining operations, today run by seven planet-wide conglomerates, are based in the mountains of these continents as well. The southern polar continent of Matlabor, by contrast, hosts several oil and natural gas processing stations, only recently restored to their peak performance of almost a century ago. The city of Parisia, on the northern island continent of New Australia, is home to the main offices of Thaddeus Enterprises, an interplanetary shipping corporation that aided the planetary government in the redevelopment of its spaceport network, which had been largely destroyed in the fighting following the Federated Commonwealth break-up. | ||||||||
