'''Capella''' is a human colony located in the [[Alpha Aurigae system]].

Capella was the site of the [[Skirmish at Capella]] between the {{UNSCship|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.

During the [[Human-Covenant War]] on October 21, [[2526]], the Alpha Aurigae system was invaded by [[Covenant Empire|the Covenant]]. [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Admiral Cole]]'s fleet responded, defeating the [[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 Capella, whether it was glassed or not, and the state of any survivors, is unknown.

==Trivia==

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