Haven: The Basics (Chronicles of Haven)

Haven (scientific name Alpha Centauri Ab) is the only inhabited planet in the Alpha Centauri trinary system. It is the closest inhabited planet to Earth, being only 4.27 light-years away from Earth, and shares a direct hyperspace link to Earth.

Haven, as of 2997 AD, is home to 11.2 billion inhabitants, around 56% of which are humans; thus making it the only planet outside the Sol System to have a majority-human populace (several moons in other systems are also predominantly human). The rest of the population is mostly comprised of Orinthians, as well as a small minority of other intelligent species not indigenous to Haven or Earth concentrated mainly in large cities.
