| rdfs:comment | - The Alpha Centaurans, also known as Centaurians or Centaurans, were a humanoid species from Alpha Centauri VII. Physically, they are indistinguishable from humans. Scientists had found evidence to suggest that they were descended from Humans transplanted from Ancient Greece. (The Worlds of the Federation) First contact between Centaurians and Humans was made by the SS Pioneer in 2066. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 4: Starships of the Original Series Era) According to the fan fiction series Star Trek: Pendragon the Centaurians and Centaurans were two distinct Centaurii species.
- The Alpha Centaurans had tentacle-like limbs, each tipped with claws. Their heads were featureless except for a large eye, with equally large optic blood vessels that nourished these eyes bulging from the skin around their heads. They were normally green in colour, though they would change in hue to match their emotion. (PROSE: The Dark Path) Red, pink and black was for anger, purple was for sadness and yellow was for fear or nervousness. Alpha Centaurans could be incapacitated by a blow to the side of the head, and struggled to right themselves if knocked off their feet. (PROSE: Legacy, The Monster of Peladon)
- Centaurians appeared identical to Humans, bearing a specific resemblance to those native to Greece or Italy. Federation scientists found evidence this was because the population was descended from a group of Terran Greeks who had been transplanted from Earth in the 3rd century BC.

(DS9 novel: Devil in the Sky, ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation) There were, however, some minor physiological differences, such as an extra joint in the Centaurans' little finger, and a patterning of capillaries in the skin that resulted in a hexagonal effect when their faces became flushed.

Nevertheless, the Doctor generally used the masculine to refer to the Federation ambassador to Peladon. (TV: The Monster of Peladon) Every few years, they would develop certain urges and, if convenient, they would create an offspring. (PROSE: Legacy)
