Jump map from Travellermap.com

Capella is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and nonindustrial in nature.

• These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• The worldlets require extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This world has a research station engaged in the scientific pursuit of knowledge.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Capella Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector.

Other Data

Non-canon: A former colony of Aquitaine, Capella is known for its rich planetoid belts . Survey experts predict that the Capellan belts will continue to support the needs of the Boötean Federation for at least the next 325 years.

• Also in the Capella system is Probable Technologies, a sectorwide corporation based on San Roque, the moon of a large gas giant. ProbTech has a reputation for manufacturing and promoting high technology.
