Overview

The Capellan Holdfast was a small state based around the world of Capella which existed for a mere two years.

History

The Capellan Holdfast was founded in 2193[1] by Justin Aris after he and a select group of followers fled the Terran Alliance in a highjacked JumpShip in 2192. Aris and the Holdfast were discovered in 2195 by explorers from the Sarna Supremacy, who attempted to claim Capella on the grounds that the Supremacy was a recognised government, unlike the Holdfast. Rather than accede to the demand that Capella join the Supremacy under the terms of the Sarn Constitution, the Capellans instead seized the Sarn explorers and forced them under duress to become Capellan citizens as well as receiving the explorer's Jumpship as a "gift".[2]

Knowing that his realm would be unable to compete with the Sarna Supremacy, Aris reinvented the Capellan Holdfast as the Capellan Republic in 2195 with the intention of ensuring the survival of his planet and ultimately its dominance over many other worlds.[3]

The flag of the Capellan Holdfast is described as three gold coins on a red field with the motto "No Regrets, No Surrender" on the reverse.[2]

Notes

Although House Liao (The Capellan Confederation) indicates that the Capellan Holdfast was discovered in 2195 and replaced with the Capellan Republic that year,[2] Handbook: House Liao indicates that the Capellan Republic replaced the Capellan Holdfast in 2194.[4]
