2 Centauri

 

2 Centauri is a planetary system orbiting a red M-class star.  The system lies in the Centaurus Constellation of the Spics Region.

 
The 2 Centauri System consists of a terrestrial world and a gas giant, the system’s planets orbit the red giant sun. The system is home to a thick, outer comet belt, the belt contains numerous mining colonies where the majority of the system’s population reside.

 

2 Centauri’s gas giant is a large planet containing over 3 times Jupiter’s mass. The gas giant is orbited by a large, water covered moon. The moon was once an icy body which melted and formed a global ocean, as the sun grew into a red giant.
