The array of food and drink is impressively lavish, a veritable feast fit for a king, or an emperor, although the guests of honour are ambassadors and the station’s command staff. Nevertheless, it’s typical of the Centauri’s flair for grandeur and opulence. They’re a proud people, much given to displays of wealth and power.

 
The Centauri Empire may not be what it once was, but no one could accuse them of modesty or understatement. They throw themselves into their celebrations with gusto, but it would be a mistake not to take them seriously. They could be formidable enemies if crossed.
