History
- Thousands of years ago: The technologically-advanced inhabitants of Kericindal die out under unknown circumstances.[1]
- 2100: Humans establish a colony, named "Terra Four", on Alpha Sirius III.[2][3]
- 2153: Centaurians establish a colony on Beta Sirius V.[2][4]
- 2217: Humans establish a colony on Alpha Sirius I.[2]
- 2237: A mining colony is established on Beta Sirius IX.[2][5]
Important Locations
- TBD
Notes
- A focused effort was required to separate the conflict between multiple beta-canon sources that conflated Alpha Canaris with Alpha Canis Majoris and "Alpha" planets with "Sirius" planets. Now, for SFC canon, some planets known singularly as "Alpha" (I, III, V, etc) will be associated with the Alpha Canaris system (in the Terra Nova Sector), while others will be placed in the Alpha Canis Majoris system (Andor Sector), with "Alpha" or "Beta" preceding the "Sirius" nomenclature. A perfect deconfliction of the associated histories could not be unraveled, so any alpha or beta canon sources that refer only to "Alpha" may apply to either the Alpha Canaris or Alpha Canis Majoris systems. Care must be taken to not assume Alpha Canis Majoris planets as the default.
- Attempts were made to create a two-system arrangement for the two stars. To do this, it was crafted to be a binary of two Type A stars, with the bodies around the first star (Sirius A) referred to with the "Alpha" name, while the ones around the secondary star (Shahr) are referred to with "Sirius". The unreferenced species (of Memory Beta's article) has not been included; instead, the people Harry Mudd swindled are to be miners or other inhabitants of a surface facility on a Class D Sirius IX.
