When the Alliance was replaced with the Terran Hegemony, Rigil Kentaurus became one of the worlds within the [[Alliance Core]] province.<ref name="H:RWp159"/> Unlike [[Caph]] or [[Altair]], Rigil Kentaurus' population peacefully accepted Hegemony membership but required much convincing to surrender their autonomy and only narrowly voted to join. This attitude was reflected in the indifferent performance of Kentaran conscripts during [[James McKenna|James McKenna's]] [[Campaigns of Persuasion]], most notoriously on [[Denebola]] when a well-equipped Kentaran brigade broke before minor resistance and left the Terran infantry regiment they were supporting to achieve a glorious victory themselves. The subsequent decimation of the Kentaran unit motivated other non-Terran Hegemony soldiers to better standards of performance.<ref name=TTS:RKp6/>

As part of the Terran Hegemony, Rigil Kentarus received several [[Star League Defense Force]] bases to bolster Terran defense. These bases included several [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]] and [[SDS]] systems on both the planet and the moon, Riken Minor.<ref name=DARWp249/>

Unfortunately, during the [[Amaris Civil War]] Rim Worlds troops drove the defending SLDF forces off Riken Minor. From the moon, they blasted the surface of Rigil Kentarus with the massive lasers and particle cannons available to them. At such ranges the fire was wildly inaccurate, and the Rim Worlds attacks inflicted massive amounts of damage on the world's surface.<ref name=DARWp249/>
