The Children of the Torch is a space cult that worship the brilliant golden nebula in Alpha Centauri known as The Torch of Shax-Reshev. Their starship is lead by a priest who also act as their captain. The origin of Children of the Torch is unknown. It is still unknown why this cult worship the golden nebula, it is possible that they see it as some kind of giant space object that illuminate the Alpha Centauri system like a torch because of it's brilliance which might also explain how the cult got their name.
Knowing they call the golden nebula "Torch of Shax-Reshev", it is possible that Shax-Reshev is the name of the deity worshiped by the cultists.
There's a system near Alpha Centauri called Proxima Centauri which is known to be a burial ground for the Children of the Torch.
