'''Alpha Aurigae''', also known as '''Capella''', was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-colonized star system, located 42.2 light-years from [[Sol]].

The system was the site of the [[Skirmish at Capella]] between the [[UNSC Gorgon (Destroyer)|UNSC ''Gorgon'']] and [[Insurrectionist]] forces in May [[2502]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]'', page 453</ref> 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.

On October 21, [[2526]] the system was invaded by [[Covenant Empire|the Covenant]]. [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Admiral Cole]]'s fleet responded, defeating the [[Covenant Fleet|Covenant fleet]] in the [[Origami Asteroid Field]] within the system, but taking heavy casualties in the battle.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> The fate of the colony, whether it was glassed or not, and the state of any survivors, is unknown.

Preston Cole was known to occasionally enjoy Vodka produced in the system.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole'', page 470</ref>
