Star Trek: Ceti Alpha

▶ Explore this system live in the app

The Ceti Alpha system became a place of tragedy and exile in the late 23rd century.

Following the cataclysmic explosion of Ceti Alpha VI, the orbit of Ceti Alpha V was shifted, transforming it from a habitable world into a desolate, wind-swept wasteland—the cage for Khan Noonien Singh and his followers.

Celestial Bodies (10)

Ceti Alpha
star · system center · 1,350,000 km diameter

A prominent yellow main-sequence star. The gravitational stability of its inner accretion disk was permanently ruined in the late 23rd century.

Ceti Alpha I
planet · orbits Ceti Alpha · 35,000,000 km · 4,800 km diameter

A tidally locked, heavily irradiated rock baked by the primary star.

Ceti Alpha II
planet · orbits Ceti Alpha · 68,000,000 km · 7,200 km diameter

A barren, cratered planet swept by intense solar winds.

Ceti Alpha III
planet · orbits Ceti Alpha · 115,000,000 km · 10,500 km diameter

A high-pressure terrestrial world suffocating beneath a highly toxic, corrosive atmosphere.

Ceti Alpha IV
planet · orbits Ceti Alpha · 160,000,000 km · 6,400 km diameter

A desolate outer-inner world, composed mostly of iron and silicate rock.

Ceti Alpha V
planet · orbits Ceti Alpha · 220,000,000 km · 12,800 km diameter

Once a highly habitable Class M world, it was reduced to a brutal, wind-swept desert wasteland after its orbit was violently shifted by the destruction of its neighboring planet.

SS Botany Bay (Derelict)
artifact · orbits Ceti Alpha V · 50,000 km · 2 km diameter

The stripped-down orbital remnants of a late-20th-century DY-100 class sleeper ship. Its cargo pods were dropped to the surface to serve as a makeshift colony.

Ceti Alpha VI (Debris Field)
region · orbits Ceti Alpha · 260,000,000 km–310,000,000 km

A massive, chaotic field of planetary fragments. This planet unexpectedly exploded six months after the Botany Bay crew was exiled, devastating the climate of Ceti Alpha V and permanently scarring the system.

Ceti Alpha VII
planet, gas-giant · orbits Ceti Alpha · 550,000,000 km · 98,000 km diameter

A massive, ringed gas giant that regularly sweeps up stray debris ejected from the destruction of Ceti Alpha VI.

Ceti Alpha VIII
planet, ice-world · orbits Ceti Alpha · 950,000,000 km · 8,200 km diameter

A frigid, ice-locked rock marking the outer boundary of the Ceti Alpha system.
