This is a project with which I am involved, the purpose of which is to extend the Freeciv project (a game similar to Sid Meier's Civilization) to include extra features that were introduced by Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
I would only recommend this game if you have, and have played through all of the previous Civilization titles and just have to have more, otherwise I would advise you to go out and pick up a copy of Civilization II: Gold Edition, or maybe Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, though that's a bit of a different experience.

The brighter stars are designated by the constellation in which they appear and are ranked by Greek letters, generally according to their relative brightness; Alpha Centauri is the brightest star in the constellation Centaurus, Beta Centauri is the next brightest, and so on.
Alpha Centauri (A and B) appear to have planets orbiting them; Alpha Cen A has one that appears more habitable than Mars.

Alpha Centauri is actually a system of 3 stars, one of which is just like the Sun, and the other two are smaller than the Sun.
