The Centauri Republic The Centauri Republic, once a fading former power, has allied itself with the Shadows and is enjoying a renaissance of military and political might.
Centauri are mostly human in appearance; men wear their hair in fans whose height indicate social standing, and women have shaved heads.
Ambassadors Kosh and Delenn reveal the existance of the Shadows behind the Centauri brutality; Sheridan is enlisted to help in an upcoming war against them; he takes it personally when he learns that the Shadows were likely responsible for the death of his wife five years ago when she travelled to a planet called Z'ha'dum.

 Alpha Centauri
Alpha Centauri C lies measurably closer to us than the other two: It is only 4.22 light-years away, and it is the nearest individual star to the Sun.
Alpha Centauri B is a K1 star, so it is hotter and brighter than most K stars, therefore it may pass this test or it may not.
Remarkably, Alpha Centauri A and B are even older than the Sun, they have an age of 5 to 6 billion years, therefore they pass this test with glamour, too.

 AllRefer.com - Alpha Centauri, Star (Astronomy: Stars) - Encyclopedia
It is a yellow main-sequence star of the same spectral class (G2 V) as the sun and of about the same size and mass; its apparent magnitude is -0.26.
Actually, Alpha Centauri is a triple-star system, the components being designated A, B, and C. Alpha Centauri C is also called Proxima Centauri because it is the closest star to the earth (other than the sun), at a distance of 4.28 light-years, components A and B are currently 4.34 light-years away.
Proxima Centauri orbits about the common center of mass of the system with a period of more than 250,000 years, so that in about 125,000 years it will be more distant than A and B. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia Copyright © 2003, Columbia University Press.
