On one occasion, the Promethians allowed a civil war to be waged for two years within Center's confines, killing over thirty million of its inhabitants; the Promethians' only course of action was to selectively apply a series of force fields to keep the fighting from reaching the spaceports or from breaking out of Center and spilling out onto the planet's surface. Furthermore, the Promethians are well known for selling their technology to any buyer that can afford it, friend or foe, and in similar fashion neither help nor hinder fugitives that manage to reach Center – or any bounty hunters and law enforcement agents that may be pursuing them.
This led to a civil war being waged within Center's limits for two years, resulting in the loss of over thirty million lives; the Promethians' only recourse was to deploy force fields to prevent the conflict from spreading. The Promethians are also notorious for selling their technology to anyone who can afford it, and neither assist nor hinder fugitives that reach Center – or those pursuing them.
