Alpha Centauri V

"Alpha Centauri V: The journey to the Alpha Centauri tertiary system was mankind's first foray into interstellar travel, accomplished on September 17th 2124 by one of the first hyperspace-equipped interstellar probes.

What subsequently astonished the human race was the existence of life on extra-solar worlds, as was the case on Alpha Centauri V. Alpha Centauri V (or Alpha V for short) is a very arid world with extreme heat temperatures, possessing as little as 10% liquid water, and as a result, much of the sparse life that exists has had to adapt to retain water, and they possess attributes not unlike lifeforms in Earth's desert regions.

Entrei City, the largest city on Alpha Five, is built in a natural canyon to take advantage of the cooler temperatures, But in spite of the harsh climate, the gravitational influence of Alpha and Beta Centauri have drawn in considerable matter into the systems, resulting in significant and readily available mineral resources.

At present, Alpha Five possesses a population of one and half billion people, and is one of the technological and shipbuilding centers of the Inner Member Systems.

Interstellar Mechanical Works and its subsidiary, Centauri Aerospace, are two major Alpha Five-based manufacturing firms in human space. Centauri Naval Base, located at Lagrange Point Five, is the home port of the First Fleet of Stellar Combat Command, and regarded as the first line of defense for the nearby Sol system."

This is my depiction of the above described system created by as part of a competition I have entered to better my skills and hopefully give this young man material to see his dream come to pass.
