Alpha Centauri

A triple star system with A and B forming a binary system, with **Proxima Centauri** the final star, a small red dwarf. Proxima Centauri is home to two planets, **Proxima B** a Earth-sized planet, and **Proxima C**, a super Earth class planet with a huge ring system. Prior to the Old Empire, Alpha Centauri was converted into something known as a **“Shield System''** A network of the closest systems to the Solar System, these systems were in place to act as an early warning system and first line of defense. While not totally lost to humanity, they haven't interacted since the early days of the Old Empire, further separated by time, and records destroyed to keep their existence a secret. They prospered within their own system despite centuries of war, the people of Proxima B becoming sort of a warrior caste of humans that are closely linked to the original humans of Earth.

### Proxima B

The primary living planet of the Alpha Centauri system, the earth-sized planet within the habitable zone of the system. The planet itself is covered with a single large continental mass, with islands dotting a large inland ocean or lake. Dotted with hundreds of cities, towns, underground cities, its human life has varied itself across the multitude of environments on its face thriving against any environment that they faced. The planet's primary continent is humid plains, while becoming more arid and bare to its southern hemisphere, with two standard polar ice caps. It has three large cities, with **Centauri City** being its most massive. Currently there are three primary factions on Proxima B. “Balalaika Republic” which holds the smallest area, but controls the planet's largest city. **“The Luther Dynasty”** which holds the most territory on the planet to the east of the interior lake, and **"The Lambda Covenant"**, a very intensely religious nation of humans to the far north of the planet.

### Proxima C

The super Earth planet is home to a significantly smaller human population, the planet largely ocean with many small land masses and islands. Home to roughly 30,000 humans in a large man-made floating city and space port, connected to a large island. Known simply as **“Safe Harbor.”** With another 150,000 humans scattered amongst the planet's many islands. This planet is largely built around, aquaponics, fishing, and mineral mining.

### Centauri City

The largest city on the planet located in the nation of Balalaika. The city is several hundred kilometers across, and gigantic in-size, dwarfing any other city on the planet, home to around a billion humans. The city is situated along the coastline of the planets interior lake.
