'''Tau Ceti''' is a G-type star just under 12 light-years away from [[Sol]], in the constellation Cetus. The Tau Ceti system was the first extrasolar system colonized by [[Humanity|humanity]] through the [[UESC Marathon]], which reached the star system in 2773 and in 2787 established a colony on the planet [[Tau Ceti IV]]. Another planet in the Tau Ceti system, [[Argolis]], was also considered for human colonization. | '''Tau Ceti''' is a G-type star just under 12 light-years away from [[Sol]], in the constellation Cetus.
