Its inhabitants, though pious and family-oriented, are known for their religious tolerance and accommodating nature. Tourism is one of the planet's major industries.

Location

The Twelve Colonies are located in the Cyrannus Star System. Scorpia is in the second orbit of the Helios Gamma star in that system. The planet is encircled by a half ring. The colonies Sagittaron and Libran also orbit this star.

Exports

Scorpion Ambrosia

Scorpion Ambrosia is a liquor imported from the colony. Most Capricans dislike it because they think it is too strong and tastes like sulfur. "Scorpion Marsh Genuine Ambrosia" is a rare brand of Scorpion Ambrosia. There may be only eleven bottles in existence in the Twelve Worlds. ("The Imperfections of Memory")
