Alpha Centauri

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system and closest planetary system to Earth's Solar System at 4.37 light-years (1.34 parsec) from the Sun. It is a triple star system, consisting of three stars: α Centauri A (officially Rigil Kentaurus), α Centauri B (officially Toliman), and α Centauri C (officially Proxima Centauri). Deep space Origin 3 probes confirmed the existence of a habitable planet in the system in 2036. It is the first planet to be selected for human colonization. Origin 3 constructs the Daedalus to ferry colonists to the Alpha Centauri system, with each round trip taking eight months. Historically, Alpha Centauri was the home world of the Asurans before they left to colonize the Andromeda Galaxy. After losing the Asuran-Kimeran War, the few remaining Asurans fled back to the Milky Way Galaxy to live the remainder of their lives on Alpha Centauri. The planet itself is Earth-like in both size and climate.
