			The '''Alpha Centauri system''' ('''α Cen''', '''α Centauri''', '''Rigel–Toliman''') is a star system located in the [[Solar Sector]]. It is part of the [[Greater Centauri system]] along with the [[Proxima Centauri system]], the latter also known as "Alpha Centauri C". It was first colonized in 2090 by the [[North Atlantic Conglomerate]] and [[United Republics of Bharat]], comparably much later than its sibling system.
