Diagram of Proxima Starzone

OVAs refer to a 'Proxima' system, should we assume this is the same as the Centauri Starzone (and, therefore, rename this page "Proxima Starzone?")

I suppose it would be more likely for the starzone to be named after Proxima Centauri, as, of the 3 stars, it is the closest one to Earth. — Canary

This is an old one, but after doing the Proserpina article i thought we should revisit it.
I guess this question was eventually answered, at least partially, judging by the state of the article now, but i don't think the conclusion is accurate. There are a few problems i see:
1. Beta Centauri is not a part of the Alpha Centauri system; although it is relatively near by, it is its own independent binary system. Alpha Centauri A and B are the two stars that make up the Alpha Centauri system (as we know it, anyway).
2. Although Proxima Centauri is most likely gravitationally bound to the Alpha Centauri system (and therefore often referred to as α Cen C), it is comparatively distant from α Cen AB — whereas α Cen A and α Cen B are separated by about the distance between our Sun and the outer gas giants, Proxima is over 400 times farther away. As such, if these stars did have planetary systems, it's my understanding that they would probably be independent.
3. The diagram to the right, depicting Proserpina and its star system, appears to show Proxima Starzone as a binary system itself. As far as we know today, Proxima Centauri does not have a companion star, so it seems like either a companion was eventually discovered in the LOGH universe, or Proxima Starzone is actually unrelated to Proxima Centauri after all. (However, the Japanese Wikipedia says that it is the closest star system to Earth, which doesn't support the latter conclusion.)
Not sure if there are any other references to the system in the series, but i definitely don't think the article is correct.  ♥ kine @ 01:41, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
