The '''Capellan Republic''' was formed in [[2194]] by [[Jurdan Aris]]<ref name=HB:HLp12/> as the successor to the earlier [[Capellan Holdfast]].

Aris based the prosperity of the Capellan Republic on information and education in an era where many states were looking to meet the industrial needs of the moment and where freedom of thought was actively repressed on many worlds. Individuals of artistic or scholarly nature were actively welcomed on [[Capella]], and Capella's copper deposits were used to begin the creation of the Library of the Capellan Republic, which would eventually be based on [[Geifer]]. <ref name="HB:HLp12"/> Over the next half-century as Terra's power waned and the flow of new technology from the [[Terran Alliance]] dwindled, the catalogued, indexed and systemized data held by Capella became increasingly prominent. Justin Aris used this to negotiate mutual protection treaties with several neighboring worlds and to buy time for Capella to generate independent armed forces. <ref name="HL(TCC)p13"/><ref name="HB:HLp13">''Handbook: House Liao'', p.13 </ref>

These mutual protection treaties were initially established with the neighboring worlds of [[Ares (system)|Ares]], [[Kurragin]] and [[Bandora]] formed the basis of the [[Capellan Co-Prosperity Sphere]] and proved effective when hostile forces from the [[Sarna Supremacy]] occupied key locations and installations on Capella in [[2225]]; the Sarna forces were forced to withdraw within two weeks, with minimal Capellan losses. <ref name="HL(TCC)p13"/>
