Centauri is a binary star system within the Terran Sphere, and is considered one of its Core Worlds. Centauri is composed of the twin stars Centauri-A and Centauri-B. Centauri-A is the primary star in the system and is orbited by the two gas giants Chiron and Lapithus, as well as the rocky planetoid Tauros. Centauri-B is orbited by the Tauro debris ring as well as the two gas giants Hylonome and Cyllarus. The Centauri system was first colonized in 2061 and is a major site of heavy industry in the Terran Sphere, including the Centauri Shipyards. Much of this industrial base was damaged or destroyed during the Stahlhelm Exercise, and is currently being rebuilt. Baseline Centauri's total population as of 2261 was 860 million.

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 three fourths of total employment. Several other major companies also have a significant manufacturing presence in the system. Chemical companies are another major sector of the economy, most notably those involved in synthetic fuels and propellants. The smelting and refining of raw materials for use in manufacturing occurs on a small scale.
