Bab:5 the Centauris

I know there's a Proxima Colony that orbits Proxima. However, I'm thinking of two more colonies that are in the Proxima system (Alpha Centauri). One around Alpha Centauri A and one around Alpha Centauri B. They are a part of the EA by treaty only and not necessarily ruled by them.

Alpah Centauri B called, Centauri Prime (the first colony); I envision this society to be similar to the society out of the movie, Starship Troopers with the idealist utopia from Star Trek to the Babylon Five universe.

Named so by the inhabitants to be the first and true Alpha Centauri colony.

They had a past of great military successes against rival colonies and had emerged as the dominate colony on this world.

Environment: The world is a Hot-Mars. There's enough air-pressure for liquid water at the surface but not enough to breathe. In deep craters and rift-valleys, is there enough air for humans to breathe.

Government: Democratic-Dictatorship. It times of peace, a democracy; in times of war, a total dictatorship. Laws can be draconian at times.

The people: are all light-skinned for the most part and other Alien-Races aren't welcome here. They have a rich military past but lately, their society has gotten a bit soft. They are highly educated.

History: There was a great rush to colonize Alpha Centauri once it was possible to do so.

The Pod-Wars; many colonists landed in pods that served as their homes during the first colonization steps. Not all had the same ideology. They fought against a neo-communist sect headed by a man named, Li. It was a bloody conflict resulting in Li's followers all being killed.

The Unification War; about a decade after the Pod-Wars they sought to consolidate the other colonies under their rule. The colonies of Dovan, Harra and Kutamori were eventually conquered and absorbed into Centauri Prime culture.

After that, they begun to colonize other systems within the EA. They only colonized a few worlds.

Now, their Colonial Defense is being built up. They have bought three Nova Dreadnaughts; one of which, they equipped with a laser system similar to the Hyperion-class.

Alpha Centauri A; The Taurians.

The Taurians are a religious sect that colonized the third world in the Alpha Centauri A system. It's an ancient Earth; the only life here is primitive single-celled organisms. The air, however, is rich in oxygen and has stained the entire planet's surface red. There's about half as much water here. There are continents and geologic activities.

Government: a council of powerful Telepaths that run a religious sect. It's almost a police state as less powerful telepaths are in law-enforcement and always watched by their superiors. There's little crime here.

The People; very similar to those of Centauri Prime.

History; there were massive pods landing here as well, but most colonies failed and sought the help of the Taurians. After the outbreak of the Pod-Wars and Unification Wars on Centauri Prime, they welcomed all refugees.

They two are building a fleet, mostly consisting of Olympus-Class ships.
