Capitol

Capitol is the sole core world of the Lian Confederation.

The planet is technically designated 38729387B and was discovered in early 2326. Originally its common name was Lian's Colony, but it experienced a name change upon the founding of the Confederation. Colonization began in 2331, with the founding of its first community of approximately 104 persons named Rose City.

The planet is 23,745 Kilometers in diameter, and is between 4.5 and 5 billion years in age. Terra-forming took just over two years, and the efforts consisted mainly of increasing the amount of carbon dioxide, and the importing of water via local comets.

Some trees were introduced early but failed to take hold in the soil. It is hoped that within the next thirty years or so, another attempt at transplanting can be made, and that the soil will then successfully support them.

Capitol is host to most of the Confederations governmental operations. Both branches of government and just about every department are housed in the city of Garande. The city was built solely for the purpose of housing the government and it's employees, and boasts a population of about 2.5 million.

The biggest city on the colony is named Boje Valley, and harbors most of the Confederation's Corporate headquarters. It's population is around 60 Million.

Currently, the entire colony's population is just in excess of 12 billion.
