Kentar, also Huranzi I, was a planet, a formerly habitable class M world located in the Ferenginar sector of the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant, in orbit of the Huranzi star system. Huranzi was the first planet and original homeworld of the Kentari, and their offshoot, the Lukari. By the 2410s decade, the planet had been abandoned. Life continued to exist nontheless.

History[]
Kentar, homeworld of the Kentari, suffered from internal conflict and pollution. The thinker Lukar proposed a new philosophy but was rejected. His followers evolved into the Lukari, and lost the civil war with the Kentari. At the end of the war, they left the Huranzi system in the Great Exodus. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Of Signs and Portents")
The Lukari colonised a single moon in the Lukari system, and largely abandoned spaceflight. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Echoes of Light")
Only select officials retained the coordinates of the Lukari's original home. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Of Signs and Portents")
Conflict continued on Kentar. Desperate, the Kentari attempted to terraform the third moon, Kaalat. The world ended as an uninhabitable class L planet wasteland. Circa 2311, the Kentari abandoned the system. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Of Signs and Portents")
The surviving Kentari rebuild the Kentari Union in the New Kentar system. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Mirrors and Smoke")
Due to the presence of Drantzuli crystals, the Tzenkethi targeted Kentar I and Kentar II with protomatter bombs as part of the Tzenkethi Crusade in 2410. The Alpha Quadrant Alliance and the Lukari Concordium dispatched a trio of ships, including Captain Kuumaarke's LSS Reskava and General Rodek's IKS Kor, to investigate the reasons for the Tzenkethi terrible attacks. Kuumaarke and her crew recognised Huranzi I as the Lukari's former home, Kentar, and were saddened to learn the Kentari had continued on the path of self-destruction. By this time, Kentar's cities remained but lay in ruin. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Of Signs and Portents")
Soon after, the Lukari voted with 73% against the restoration of Kentar, to the dismay of the hopeful Captain Kuumaarke. The result was noted in her personal log and shared with AQA officials on Deep Space 9. (STO - Reckoning mission: "A Message from the Lukari IV")
The LSS Reskava returned to the Huranzi system with a new mission, to restore Kaalat to its former status of a paradise world. Kuumaarke was eager to begin ecosculpting the world. (STO - Reckoning mission: "A Message from the Lukari V")
Inspired to cooperate in the face of the ongoing Tzenkethi thread, the Kentari Union and Lukari Concordium established the Dranuur Colony on Dranuur instead of rebuilding Kentar. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Melting Pot")
