The Centauri belt alpha is an asteroid belt in the Centauri system, United Empire of Earth (UEE), that orbits the system's sun between Centauri IV and Centauri V. A dense belt with enough mass to form a planet, the heavy metals and other resources that can be found there are extracted to support various industries on Saisei (Centauri III). Due to the abundance of resources, major mining conglomerates, independent businesses, and sole prospectors are able to work alongside one another with little competition.
