History

New Cannan was settled in the mid-23rd century by Jewish immigrants from Earth. The colony flourished and grew steadily during the early years of space exploration. More recently, its location near Earth has enabled it to become a center of higher learning and culture within the Federation. The government has struggled to keep the sense of community developed during the colony's founding despite the pressures to allow the colony to grow rapidly.
