Rigil Kentarus was a beautiful planet, blessed with a rare inhabitable moon, Riken Minor, when it was
discovered in the first days of Terran exploration. One of the first worlds to be settled, both planet and moon
were bustling centers of industry and commerce during the days of the Star League.
Located near the heart of the Terran Hegemony, both the planet and moon were heavily fortified by the SLDF,
with Castles Brian and surface-to-orbit defense stations on each. During the crisis that brought down the Star
League, however, Amaris troops captured the Riken complexes in a well-coordinated blitzkrieg and used the
orbital weapons to bombard the planet below, where remnants of the SLDF unit posted on the moon had gone
to regroup. At such ranges, however, the aim was inaccurate, and missed shots from both the planetary and
lunar bases delivered massive damage to the surface of both worlds.
In the years after the League's fall, under the banner of the Lyran state, Rigil Kentarus and its moon began to
recover from the devastation, despite numerous attacks launched by the Free Worlds League and the Draconis
Combine.
The twin capitals of West Romaine on the planet's large southern continent of Naskia, and Destina Station on
Riken Minor's Lesser Plateau continent, maintain the bulk of each world's commercial and administrative
infrastructure. The large spaceport city of Mesopita, located on Worrens, Rigil Kentarus' northern continent, is
the planet's principal link to the moon and the stars beyond, and so is also home to a sizeable portion of the
planetary militia.

Nuclear and biochemical weapons laid waste nearly half the cities and installations on both worlds, costing
countless lives and tainting the air and water of both. Today, only a few habitable cities remain on Rigil Kentarus,
spared from the devastation only by the blind fortune of geography. Fewer still remain on Riken Minor. Of these,
