Carla Centrella was a Magestrix of the Magistracy of Canopus in the twenty-seventh century.
Early Life[edit]
In 2612, Carla inherited the throne at the age of eighteen when her mother Rinalla Centrella was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour. Having been raised to rule, Carla proved politically and economically astute and played a key role in the rebuilding of the Canopian economy following the Reunification War.[1]
Carla Centrella's personal life was far less ideal: she was swept off her feet by Curtis Yakubu, one of her MechWarriors, but the marriage foundered over his infidelity, fixation on the patriarchal traditions of his Ashanti heritage, and embezzlement. Centrella finally exiled him to Terra as commander of the Canopian honor guards there. The couple never met again.[1]
One of Carla Centrella's major accomplishments was being the first of the Council Lords to recognize the potential of Hyperpulse technology and using it to establish diplomatic and trading relations with the Draconis Combine, Outworlds Alliance, and Rim Worlds Republic, states that had previously been too distant for practical contact.[1]
The stress of her personal life took its toll on Carla, although she remained devoted to her responsibilities. She eventually abdicated in favor of her elder daughter Celine Centrella in 2654.[2]
