'''Alpha Centauri''' is the closest neighbouring star system to [[Sol System]], located at galactic coordinates '''X: -26667 / Y: -3 / Z: 56''' in [[Starship Simulator]]. In reality, it is approximately 4.37 light-years from Earth. As humanity's nearest interstellar neighbour, it is a significant location in the early stages of exploration depicted in the game.

== System Composition ==
The real Alpha Centauri system is a triple-star system, and the game likely reflects this structure:
*'''Alpha Centauri A (Rigil Kentaurus):''' A [[Star types#G-Type|G2V]] star, very similar in size, mass, and temperature to [[Sol]]. It is the primary component of the central binary pair.
*'''Alpha Centauri B (Toliman):''' A [[Star types#K-Type|K1V]] star, slightly smaller, cooler (orange), and dimmer than Sol. It orbits Alpha Centauri A in a binary pair with a period of about 80 years.
*'''Proxima Centauri (Alpha Centauri C):''' A small, dim [[Star types#M-Type|M-class]] red dwarf star. While gravitationally bound to the main A/B pair, it orbits much further out (around 13,000 AU). Proxima Centauri is technically the closest individual star to Sol. It is known to host at least one Earth-sized exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b, though its actual habitability is questionable due to stellar activity. ''(Game implementation details for Proxima and its planets need verification).''

== Planetary System ==
The [[Sensors|sensor]] data table provided indicates the presence of '''15 planets''' within the Alpha Centauri system in [[Starship Simulator]]. Given the procedural generation and the multiple stars, this likely includes a mix of rocky worlds, gas giants, and icy bodies orbiting the A and/or B stars, and potentially Proxima Centauri.

Planets orbiting within the respective [[Habitable Zone]]s of Alpha Centauri A (~0.67 - 1.29 AU from star A, based on table data) and Alpha Centauri B (closer in than A's zone) would be prime candidates for investigation, though stability in a binary system and factors like stellar radiation need consideration.

== In-Game Lore ==
Due to its proximity to [[Sol System]], Alpha Centauri is often one of the first interstellar destinations. Presumably much of the games Lore will involve Alpha Centauri and it would have probably become a benchmark test destination for testing new ships with out long it would take to to get their and back to sol. with pre-FTL ships setting records in the order of decades and as ships speeds increased. This time taking years to months to weeks to days.
