Alpha Centauri

Centauri is the home to the Centaurans. They are believed to be the decendants of Greek and Romans who were transplanted by the Preservers around 300 BCE. There were, however, some minor physiological differences, such as an extra joint in the Centaurans' little finger, and a patterning of capillaries in the skin that resulted in a hexagonal effect when their faces became flushed. They Also have bright blue eyes that seem to glow.

Early History
The Centurian continued as a Greco-Roman culture since they hand none of the conflicts of there original homes. This lead to a overall peaceful culture. They have been ruled by and Imperial Family for almost two thousand years. They Family is a figure head with true power residing within the Senate.

Modern history

The Crew Stayed and integrated into Centauran Culture. In 2075 With Humans discovery of Warp Drive a second vessel was sent and Offical First Contact was made. Within a few years the Centaurans had developed warp drive. Due to the long standing socialization with the Icarus crew the Centaurans easily accepted Human friendship and trade was immediately started. When the Romulan Wars Broke out the Centaurans where the first to jump in and assist their distant cousins. When the War was over they were more than pleased to join the fledgling Federation. Some Members are disappointed as the Centauran seem to give two Human voices to every discussion.
