History
In the distant past, a Centauri once consulted three Technomages and managed to gain their blessing. This act allowed him to take the throne as emperor of the Centauri Republic and secured the Technomages as powerful figures in their society. (Episode: Geometry of Shadows)
Their empire began to face continued skirmishes with the Narn's over Quadrant 37. (Episode: Chrysalis) This led to them quietly set up monitoring stations to keep an eye on Quadrant 37 to keep an eye on the Narn build-up. (Episode: Geometry of Shadows)
Overview
Centauri belief system consisted of a pantheon of gods and goddesses with even their emperors being elevated to godhood. In total, it was believed that there were around fifty different deities in their religion. (Episode: Chrysalis)
Their religion had a pantheon of deities that included:
- Li : the goddess of passion that contained both male and female attributes. (Episode: The Quality of Mercy)
- Zoog : a deity within the pantheon. (Episode: Chrysalis)
The Technomages held an important place within their society for their actions in the past. Seeing more than one of this order of beings was considered a bad omen. However, it was considered a powerful sign of prestige if one was blessed by one of their order with this image being a strong one to those who believed in the old ways. Thus, those given such blessings gained considerably influence and political power in Centauri politics. (Episode: Geometry of Shadows)
