Colonised by the Ypperbach clade in 1958. The planet had a primitive microbiome to which the Ypperbach adapted, becoming the Cythera clade. They set to exploit the system, trading biological products and genetic design with other systems. Over time the Cytherans built an impressive artificial ecosphere on their planet, making it the genetics capital of the Age of Empires and Second Federation. In the ComEmp it largely lost its importance, growing more introvert and conservative. Today it is mainly a popular tourist attraction for Inner Sphere tourists and the home of a number of highly renowned ecotechnology institutes.
