Benecia

Benecia is a Terran Federation Staple colony.
==History==
In the final years of the Great Breakout, members of the Senate of the Terran Federation were lobbying to decrease funding from the colonization of new worlds to improve the economy.
During this time, Catherine Sakai discovered the planet Benecia, a world with rich plains of medicinal plants and resources in the mountains. Because of this, a known doctor named Robert Grandon made the winning bid for his group to establish the first colony on the planet. The colony ship, known as the SS Holmes, was constructed soon after and launched on November 17th, 2282. Arriving on January 14th, 2283, Dr. Grandon immediately set out to establish a farming colony to domesticate the medicinal plants on the colony. Several P'nir workers who fled their homeworld settled on Benecia, where they were accepted as Terran Federation citizens and instrumental in the development of the colony.
Within a few years, Benecia grew into a prosperous Staple colony. During the course of the Gilded Age, Benecia was swept up in the Sports Renaissance established on Cestus III. The citizens of the colony established its own baseball, hockey, basketball, football and lacrosses as well as its own wrestling federation.
