At a Glance
Tau Ceti was chartered before the Federation's foundation, beginning as an Earth Colony. The pioneers of Tau Ceti III were mostly Philippine, Chinese, Thai and Polynesian cultural elements. Since then, Tau Ceti III's population has heavily diversified though still remains primarily Human and with a sizable lean toward Earth's Asian and Oceanian cultures.
Terrain
Tau Ceti III is a world comprised of an ocean covering nearly 91% of its surface. It's oceans, which range from only eighty meters to almost two kilometers deep, tend toward a warm and tropical environment. Large swathes of the ocean (almost 30%) are shallow coastal waters teeming with coral-like analogs. These portions of the planet are often under less than fifty meters of water.
