History
Rise of humanity
The system was settled in the early 25th-century, with Capella being settled in 2420 and Origami being settled in 2421.[1]
Insurrection
The system was the site of the Skirmish at Capella between the UNSC Gorgon and Insurrectionist forces in May 2502. The skirmish resulted in the deaths of thirty-two crew members of the Gorgon and damages which required a month laid up in space dock to repair.[2]
Human-Covenant War
On October 21, 2526, the system was invaded by the Covenant. Admiral Cole's fleet responded, defeating the Covenant fleet in the Origami Asteroid Field, but taking heavy casualties in the battle.[3] Both colonies were attacked to an unknown degree.[1]
