Catullans are still so rare in Federation space, as compared to wider-ranging species like humans, that many Catullans get mis-identified as members of some other more populous species whose appearance has been altered for entertainment purposes. This is a source of some frustration for them; individual Catullans deal with it in different ways.<br> | Catullans are still so rare in Federation space, as compared to wider-ranging species like humans, that many Catullans get mis-identified as members of some other more populous species whose appearance has been altered for entertainment purposes.

[[ma:Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems|Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems]] maintains both a corporate center in Utyoyomsaeg, one of Catulla's major cities, and an orbital shipyard above it. A significant portion of the homeworld's population, although not a majority, is employed there, either living in the associated space station or commuting from the surface daily. Students from Catulla frequently tour the shipyard as part of their social studies or career development.<br> | |||

'''Zorsulte''': A tangy, rich Catullan liquor made from the fermented rind of unripe ''sulte'' fruit, small citrus-like pods that grow on bushes in sandy soil. Replicated ''zorsulte'' is more likely to be clear, indicating its origin, unlike naturally-aged ''zorsulte'', which will have tiny flecks from rind and seeds accidentally included in the pressing.
