Prometheus orbits Alpha Centauri A at the inner edge of the habitable zone, making the equatorial regions of the planet are so warm as to be relatively uninhabitable. The planet is rich in metal deposits.

History

Prometheus is unique in that it was settled by Terran colonists who arrived via generation ships sponsored by the planet's European Space Agency (ESA). These ships left Terra during the 2050s (AD). The Europa was the first such ship to reach the Alpha Centauri system.

The StarLeaper Two became the first jump-capable ship to reach this planet, in 2101 AD.

In 2122 AD Prometheus successfully petitioned the Terran Confederation for home rule and became an independent nation-state.

Contains a shipyard owned by Hellenic Industries Limited.
