Tau Ceti System

Tau Ceti was a system centered around a star located about 11.8 light years from Sol. This location is mentioned in communications that are part of Starfleet Academy's Kobayashi Maru scenario. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

At some point prior to 2268, the USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, engaged and defeated a Romulan vessel near Tau Ceti, using the Cochrane deceleration maneuver. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy")

This system was the site of the Tau Ceti Accords signed between the Vulcan High Command and the Andorian Empire. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem")

Tau Ceti is notable in the mirror universe, as the system in which the Terran Empire lost twelve ships in a battle against alien rebels. Propaganda had spread that this was a major win for the Terran Empire, when in fact it was a sign they were beginning to lose. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")

In 2364, Tau Ceti was noted on a large star chart at Starfleet Headquarters. Also, on several other occasions that year, viewscreen readouts aboard the USS Enterprise-D showed the location of Tau Ceti, in the form of charts from the Enterprise library computer. (TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Conspiracy")
