There are 3 plants in this system detected by long range probe.
This system was explored by the [[USS Continuum (NCC-2895-C)]] in 2389 related to an anomalous signal that was detected from the 3rd planet, Iris. The system has 3 planets total.
 
== Anomalous Signal ==
During routine sensor sweep of the Kepler-Centauri system on June 25th, 2389 at 0100 hours Nimbus Standard Time, ST-SD-47 detected a brief distortion in space-time consistent with a potential warp signature. The signature originated near the third planet, designated Iris. Immediately following this event, a complex, repeating signal of unknown origin was detected emanating from the same region.
 
Most concerning, a massive energy spike was recorded concurrent with the warp signature. The nature of this energy spike remains unknown, but its intensity and proximity to the other anomalies warrant further investigation. Preliminary analysis suggests the energy spike could be related to the warp signature, but this cannot be confirmed at this time.

Eos, a Class A planet in the Kepler-Centauri system, presents an intriguing anomaly. Despite a thin atmosphere, primarily composed of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, with an average pressure of 11.3 kPa (0.1 atmospheres) and a frigid surface temperature averaging -128.1 degrees Celsius, the planet's geological composition is unexpectedly complex. The barren, volcanic rock surface, scarred by craters and fissures, reveals traces of rare earth elements like hafnium, ytterbium, and lutetium, alongside heavier transuranic elements such as americium and curium.

Iris is a small, barren world with a surface scarred by craters and fissures. The planet lacks an atmosphere and experiences extremely cold temperatures, averaging -145.9 degrees Celsius.

The species exhibits a remarkable ability to adapt to its environment, navigating through complex cave systems and surviving in the harsh conditions of Iris's subsurface. The energy spike detected during previous scans may be related to a biological process or the use of advanced technology. The complexity of the signal emanating from the planet suggests a sophisticated communication system and potentially advanced cognitive abilities.

The warp signature detected near Iris suggests that the subterranean species possesses advanced technology, including a unique form of warp drive that generates a decentralized field. This technology differs significantly from known Federation or Solas Tempus designs. The nature and extent of their technological capabilities remain unknown.
