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/>

A closer examination of New Capetown's population though would find that much of its former hatred never really disappeared, but was transferred to other targets: the political divisions which racked the newly-formed [[Federated Commonwealth]] (and would eventually lead to more [[FedCom Civil War|civil war]]), and the [[Clans]] after their [[Clan Invasion|invasion of the Inner Sphere]].  The planet's anti-Clan sentiments in particular were seen as more justified by its neighbors and so did not engender the same type of response as previous prejudices.<ref name=HB:HSp110>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 110</ref>
