Economy
The Economy of Centauri is centered primarily around heavy industries such as manufacturing and refining. The Centauri Shipyards are the biggest employer in the system, accounting for more than half of its total employment. Several other major companies also have a significant manufacturing presence in the system. The smelting and refining of raw materials for use in manufacturing occurs on a small scale, as most material imported into the system has already been refined. Chemical companies are another significant sector of the economy, especially those involved in synthetic fuels and propellants.
