Centurions From Rigel-17

They came one grey morning, in a gleaming silver antimatter-powered ship from the Rigel System. In a matter of weeks the Centurions--who remain largely invisible to our ultraviolet dependent eyes--had completely subjugated the human race. This subjugation was expressed in a number of ways, including architecture, which was designed, after numerous psycho-social experiments on human subjects, to make the typical human feel ill-at-ease, paranoid, nauseous, and helpless. When placed in relation to human-scaled architecture, such as the Human Administration Building shown at Right (where Alpha humans favored by our Centurion masters carry out the routine tasks of Native government), the Centurion structures symbolize complete domination and authority.

It is rumored, but cannot be confirmed, that the largest structures on the Plaza are actually sending hypersonic beams back to the Rigel system, powered by humans in the antimatter mines, to communicate with the Vast Lordly Galactic Emperor himself.

We are all excited, too, by the impending visit from Lord Vader.
