Astra was a planet, whose native inhabitants were known as the Astrans. In the 21st century, it was the core of the Astra Space Empire or Astran Empire, the closest space power to the solar system. There were frequent skirmish at the borders of the solar system between human space forces and Astran space fleets, ultimately resulting in a Space War in 2065. By the 25th century, however, the planet was home to an Earth colony.
The Astrans' capital city, located on Astra, was the city of Kapland.
