History
Walestain was, ever since before the Ravager Invasions and the founding of the Northern Star Federation, a neutral ground where all human colonies were able to do commerce, negotiations and such. For a long time, it was the capital for the Human Union, the forefather of what would become the Northern Star Federation. It was discovered in 4712 A.E. in the outer edge of the galaxy by Tarrian expeditionary forces as a primitive, uninhabited planet. As humanity continued to thrive, it remained a hub for commerce between all human colonies. During the Ravager Invasions, Walestain was a major target and suffered heavy losses, including the complete destruction and ramsacking of the capital building of the Human Union. When the Northern Star Federation was formed, the capital building was rebuilt, this time several times larger than originally. So it has thrived as the capital of the massive Federation, growing to be millions of times larger than it originally was. Walestain has, even though its political significance changed, remained a major commerce hub in the galaxy. The capital building resides in the tallest part of the capital city of Irand, surrounded with flags of all of the participating planets in the Federation council and with a statue of David Armstrong Jr, the founder of the Northern Star Federation. The capital building is commonly regarded as one of the largest structures in the Known Galaxy, being able to hold over 120.000 living beings of similar height to humans.

The capital building of Walestain is where reside the several council chambers, senatorial offices and meeting rooms, along with the presidential office.
