KOI 172.02 is the preferred home of important Hurian military commanders and politicians, even though Kepler-22b was designated the capital of Huria in 2047. However, given the planet's proximity to Nyumbani, KOI 172.02 was chosen by many Hurian military veterans who wish enter comfortable retirement while still remaining close to the new homeworld to remain in contact with government sources in the event they are ever needed to re-enter combat service. Many of Huria's intelligence agencies are located on Nyanda, and use the planet's many resources to advance their operations on other colony worlds through known space.
