First Centauri was a Terran colony and a member of the Federated Sentient Planets.
General Information[]
It was blockaded by the Nathi during Nathi War for five years, during which it was governed by Emily Boll. Kitti Ping Yung and her daughter Wind Blossom lived there as well, and Kitti was famous for developing two symbiotic species (the multichord songbird and the leechworm) that cleaned the terrible radiation left on the planet after the Nathi bombing.
Several of the Colonists came from this planet. Sallah Telgar recalled going on hunting trips with her parents on First Centauri prior to the war.

Notes[]
- The name of this system/settlement is inconsistent. In Dragonsdawn, Emily Boll is said to be "the governor-heroine of First Centauri". In Dragonsblood, she is said to be the "governor of Tau Ceti and the heroic leader of Cetus III". In real life, Tau Ceti is a star, which would imply that Cetus III is the planet she lived on and directly led. However, Wind Blossom and Emily both say that Wind Blossom's sister was left "on" Tau Ceti to monitor the genetic work done there and Wind Blossom said the Nathi had bombed Tau Ceti day and night, implying that it was a planet rather than a star or system. Perhaps unrelated, the planet Ceti III is mentioned in Dragonsdawn both as having been a place that supposedly disproved the Hoyle-Wickramansingh Theory (a theory that eventually proved to be true about Thread) and as a colony that requested help from Earth but didn't receive it for 50 years. However, Ceti IV was noted as a system with multiple water worlds.
