For many years '''New Capetown''' was one of the Lyran Commonwealth's uglier worlds. The climate and environment were quite lovely; the problem was with the initial settlers and the government they created. These colonists traced their ancestry to white South Afrikaners and were members of a distasteful sect of [[New Calvinism|New Calvinists]].  Adhering to the same beliefs which made [[twentieth century]] South Africa one of the most repressive regimes in the history of [[Terra]], the colonists established a government based on racist ideals that used skin color to determine social class.  Its capital city, New Johannesburg, was sited on the southern continent of Pretoria.  This government was able to find trading partners and export raw materials and commercial goods to other worlds, but their internal policies made them unpopular with the neighboring worlds, which translated into limited economic growth as these trading partners devoted more of their efforts to other, less-repressive Commonwealth worlds.  Many Christian organizations were behind efforts to have the government of New Capetown formally declared a tyranny, a move which would've forced the Commonwealth government to step in and replace it.<ref name=HB:HSp82/><ref name=HSTLC104>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 104</ref>

That New Capetown was also home to one of the Commonwealth's prestigious military schools, the [[Royal New Capetown Military Academy]], was also a constant headache for the [[LCAF]].  Under [[Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]], two new commanders were appointed to stamp out any racialist philosophy from bleeding over into the cadet population, leading to a spate of terrorist attacks against the RNCMA.<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 125</ref>  This was just the first in a larger effort by the Archon to curb the planet's hateful influence, leading to a wider reform movement which would eventually result in a civil war breaking out in the early [[3030]]s.  By the middle of the decade the racist regime was overthrown and a new, egalitarian government was put in place, with the capital renamed to New Hope.  The new government was largely successful in stamping out all racial bigotry on New Capetown, though a few pockets remained into the middle of the century.<ref name=HB:HSp82/>
