The Alpha Centauri System has three stars, they are known as Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Now Alpha Centauri A is of the same spectral type as our Sun, it is the same color, but it is 50% brighter than out Sun. The unstated powers moved the four planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars and our Moon from their orbits around our Sun to orbits around Alpha Centauri A. Since Alpha Centauri A has 150% the brightness of our Star, the Earth orbits further out at a distance of 1.225 AU, at this distance an orbital period around this star would be 475 Earth days instead of the 365 days it takes to orbit our Sun. Venus and Mars have the same separation from Earth as they did when orbiting out Sun, but since Alpha Centauri A is 50% brighter than our Sun, because it is also 50% bigger as well, that means the habitable zone around this star is also wider, and thus Venus and Mars are well within the habitable zone of this star without being too close to each other to disturb each others orbits. Mercury was placed into an orbit around Venus and serves as Venus' Moon. Mars has a thicker atmosphere which was made breathable to Earth like by the unstated powers involved in this. Jupiter still orbits our own Sun at 1 AU, and Our Sun was made the fourth member of the Alpha Centauri system, Saturn was moved into an orbit Around Alpha Centauri B, and K2 V type star dimmer than our own Sun. A certain planet orbiting Proxima was made more Earthlike and was named Minerva after one of the powers involved in combining these two star systems and terraforming 8 planets with in them. As for Neptune and Uranus. Neptune orbits Jupiter, and Uranus orbits Saturn. Mercury and the Moon both have thick atmosphere now and small oceans. I am thinking of using D20 Modern for this setting, magic exists in this setting as does technology from the Core Rulebook and the D20 future rulebook. No FTL drive exists, but who needs one, as we have 8 habitable planets. I'll leave the methods as to how these planets got terraformed a mystery, for people to figure out.</p></blockquote><p></p>
