The planet's relative isolation has protected it to a significant extent from both Borg and Dominion incursions in recent centuries. The Borg seemed to dismiss it altogether, and public revelations about Dominion activity were limited to some minor incidents of espionage and sabotage at Yoyodyne, all of which involved agents of the Founders, rather than the Founders themselves. There are rumours that the Federation may have chosen to exploit this perceived insignificance by storing caches of critical knowledge and assets in the vicinity of Cendo Prae, as seeds for recovery in the event of another Federation-scale threat, but nothing has been confirmed by any reputable public source.<br> | |||

Even after centuries of careful coastline reclamation and near-continuous seawall construction, the amount of land above sea level on Cendo Prae is significantly below M-class norms. Nearly all land that isn't entirely vertical (and some that is) has been adapted for Catullan use. Above the water, virtually no wilderness or other apex predators native to the planet still exist.
