Alpha Centauri Star System

The Alpha Centauri system is home to a number of refugees from the Sol system who fled from the darkness and wars raging through the Sol system prior to the formation of the Silver Millennium. A number of people, including members of the royal families, from Mars, Jupiter and Saturn fled towards the nearest star in magic powered generational ships. After reaching the new star, they found three habitable planets which were quickly colonized and named Sa, Xiao and Mucai.

An alliance between the three kingdoms of Alpha Centauri lasted from 500 years into the Silver Millennium (Earth date: 494AD) to 500 years after (Earth date: 1494AD).

Sa
The planet Sa is known for its extreme amounts of wind. There was never a slow or calm day in the weather on this planet. Because it is very windy, almost all the soil and lose ground material has long since been blown into the atmosphere leaving the planet's surface very flat and smooth. The surface is mostly metal and rock. Only 10% of the planets surface is covered by water, and travel by sea is almost impossible. Just about all long distance travel is by air. The amount of dust, soil and small rock blown off the surface by the winds collected in the atmosphere making the planet very hot during the day and very cold at night. Nothing will grow outside hydroponic farms and the domed cities. Most of the cities are in the northern and southern parts of the planet mid way between the poles and the tropics. Cities are powered by the high winds with millions of turbines scattered all over the surface. The hard metal and rock on this planet are used to make the strongest weapons known. It is here where the weapons for the senshi and defenders of the Alpha Centauri system are made. This planet was later strip mined by the Death Phantom to build the Black Moon invasion force.
Senshi powers Wind (Breeze, weather, air pressure)
Natural Satellites 3. 'Dust', 'Rock' and 'Soil'. These moons are similar to the moons Deimos and Phobos of Mars.
Day 22 hours, 19 minutes
Year 317.9 Earth days
Diameter 12,590km / 7868.75 miles
Distance from primaries 1.1 AU (164,557,658km / 102,251,388miles) from Alpha Centauri A
Axis tilt 19.6 degrees
Orbital plane 9 degrees - similar to Mercury's 7 deg.
Population 10 million

Xiao
The second planet in the Alpha Centauri system, Xiao, is known for the large amounts of storms. The atmosphere is always very turbulent and a number of storms rage all over the planet. 85% of the planet is covered in water and the land is often battered by the raging storms. The population lives in floating cities and under the water. The cities are powered by lightning which is gathered by a large number of lightning rods and fed into large batteries under each city.
Senshi powers Storms (Rain, Lightning, Thunder, Magnetic, Electricity)
Natural Satellites 1. 'Magnet'. Magnet is similar to the moon Callisto of Jupiter.
Day 20 hours, 56 minutes
Year 310.2 Earth days
Diameter 12,900km / 8062.5 miles
Distance from primaries 1.5 AU from Alpha Centauri A (224,396,806km / 139,433,711miles)
Axis tilt 4 degrees
Orbital plane 1 degrees
Population 30 million

Mucai
Mucai is a heavily forested world. The land masses are almost totally covered in dense forest with no grass or small shrubs on the ground. The trees in the oldest parts of the forest have been known to breech the cloud layer. The tree house style cities built here appear to be floating on the clouds. All the cities on Mucai are built into the forests like tree houses. Power for the planet is provided using regenerating bio mass from the planets oceans and felled trees. One tree of average height can power one city for 3 years. The planet is well known for its high yields of crops and quality growing soil. Mucai is able to feed the whole system on its own.
Senshi powers Wood (Plants, blossoms, nature, earth)
Natural Satellites 4. 'Arc', 'Sanctuary', 'Harvest' and 'Bloom'. Arc and Sanctuary are large moons, both a little smaller then Earth's moon. Sanctuary can support life. Harvest and Bloom are similar to the moons Prometheus and Pandora of Saturn.
Day 26 hours, 30 minutes
Year 350.5 Earth days
Diameter 11,980km / 7487.5 miles

Axis tilt 25.9 degrees
Orbital plane 13 degrees - similar to Pluto's 17 deg.
Population 25 million
