Beta Caprisis was a 26th century human colony. Bernice Summerfield was born there in 2540. (NA: Love and War) It was a member of an Earth-controlled Alliance of planets that would eventually become the Earth Empire.
Astronomical data
Beta Caprisis, a Class M (Earth-like) planet, was the fourth planet in the Gamma Delphinius system. It orbited a binary, both of whose stars were Class G (Sol-like) stars; consequently, it was a warm planet, and snow did not fall. Benny remembers it as a "nice place"--full of parks and trees. (NA: Sanctuary)
Culture
Beta Caprisis was evidently a prosperous society, its citizens healthy and usually tall--Bernice Summerfield, at approximately 5'9", was of average height. (BFBS: Just War) Society did not attach any stigma or shame to nudity (NA: Just War), and was apparently quite tolerant of cross-species mating--in contrast to some contemporary societies, such as the Fifth Axis. (BFBS: Life During Wartime)
Animal-derived foods might have been enjoyed by the wealthy as a decadent luxury (BNA: Ship of Fools), but, in the 26th century, most food was artificially created - vat-grown meat was common. (BFBS: The Evacuation of Bernice Summerfield Considered as a Short Film by Terry Gilliam)
History
At some point before 2594, Beta Caprisis was so heavily bombed and irradiated that it was no longer livable. (NA: The Mary-Sue Extrusion)
