Alpha Centauri star system

The **Alpha Centauri star system** is a pre-charted primary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

Alpha Centauri was once the major military hub next to Sol for the Alliance. Later on after its successful stop of the Federation push through Aquila in the Insanity War, it became a fallback line and continues to produce military fighters for the war with the resources of Rucker. The warfront has long been moved to Sapphire, Rigel and Lambda in the attempt to consolidate their power in the south of Evochron.

Alpha Centauri serves as a major economic hub for the energy of the region and is one of two realistic options to stage an invasion of Sol without the aid of a Shefeld Gate or jump casting.

## Location

The **Alpha Centauri star system** lies in the southwest of the Alpha Centauri region and its own subregion. It is part of the Outer Rim.

## History

### During Legends

Alpha Centauri has the distinction of being the first system to be colonized outside of Sol. The open trade between this system and Aquila results in it having a strong exchange of energy for technology. The planet AC528 is known for paying slightly more for most items. There are also no docking fees for most mercenaries in this system, giving it a cost advantage over both Aquila and Deneb. Most ships are friendly to outsiders, but occasional trade blockades and attacks do occur.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Strong presence, primary faction with economic control.
* Navy/Military - Strong presence, well equipped and controlled by energy companies.
* Rebels - Uncertain presence.
* Guilds/Clans - Uncertain presence.
* Miners - Light presence, short trade runs from asteroids to planet.

### During Mercenaries

With the advances in technology in Deneb and minor conflicts with Deneb and other outsiders, the navy of Alpha Centauri has become weaker and slightly outdated. It still easily dwarfs its neighbors by sheer quantity and with aid of the Alliance and its super carriers can easily handle any attack if under pressure. The second generation super carrier A.C.S. Evader keeps the important system safe from any major conflict or incursion.

Navy/Military - Strong presence, controlled by energy companies.

### After the Insanity War

The devastation of Aquila never reached Alpha Centauri which only had a minor incursion of tactical squadrons that avoided the fortress at the gate with a long-jump to its south and destroyed the star port of Benedict. At the time the Federation had pushed deep into the Aquila line, the blitz of Pearl had already begun and Pearl would shortly fall. The Federation had to pull back to cover their flank and Alpha Centauri avoided a major loss in the war.

## Trade Routes

Alpha Centauri has a great relationship with Deneb which needs its massive energy resources and delivers it food, machines and general goods in return. Aquila is another major consumer of Alpha Centauri's energy cells.
