Biological Description := The Centauri are humanoid in appearance,bipedal with two arms and a head, they are a remarkably ordinary-looking race. similar enough to humans that the species can easily pass for one another under casual inspection. However, in terms of internal structure there are several important differences between the two species. Centauri teeth, for instance, are somewhat pointed. Unlike Humans, the Centauri have no major arteries in their wrists. In terms of physical strength and endurance, and intellectual ability, the Centauri are equal to humans.
Society Description := The Empire is based on Centauri Prime but spans a number of other colonies and worlds. The Centauri Empire is a nominal constitutional monarchy ruled by an Emperor or Empress, or, in the event of an interregnum, a Regent. The Emperor/Empress has enormous power in Centauri society, and all Centauri are taught to be deferential to the ruling monarch. The Centauri are not a democracy; the average citizen has little or no political power. The Centauri Empire considers slavery legal, but as a form of social stratification, not racial discrimination as many slaves are disenfranchised nobles.
General History Description := The Centauri had become known as The Lion of the Galaxy. For two-hundred years the Centauri ruled most of the Galaxy. But as with all great empires of vast size, the Centauri found that even they could not be everywhere they needed to be in order to patrol, control, and protect their vast holding. Piracy began choking off the Centauris supply lines, political bickering filled the Centaurum, Colonial Governors conspired against the Emperor and civil unrest has began to take its toll.
