6.7 Organia to Rigel

southern continent has had some success with the grain quadrotriticale as a staple crop. Total pop: 42,000

Sigma Draconis (23.4, 60.4, 5.4)

A moderate yellow G-9 star orbited by nine planets, three of which (planets II, IV and VI) are Class M and inhabited by intelligent life. The third planet is pre-industrial, with a population of 2.1 billion and a rating of B on the Richter Scale. The fourth planet has a Richter rating of G, and has developed rudimentary interplanetary flight (pop: 6 billion). Planet VI is entirely glaciated, but supported an advanced technological civilization before the current ice age. Artifacts of this culture are still evident in underground caverns (pop: 179,000).

Sigma Iotia (-5.7, -144.2, -109.1)

First contacted c. 2167 by the U. S. S. Horizon, Iotia is the second planet of nine orbiting a large yellow star (class 0 facilities). An intelligent society on the verge of industrialization was contaminated by the Horizon, and is now a Federation Protectorate with a cultural rating of E+ on the Richter Scale.

61 Cygni see: Tellar

Sol (23.9, 61.8, 0.0)

A moderate size yellow star orbited by ten planets (class 4 facilities). The third planet, Terra or Earth, is extensively populated, and is the home world of the human species. One of the founding worlds of the UFP, Terra is a major cultural and scientific center, and one of the most technologically advanced planets in the Federation. Star Fleet, a successor to the Terran UESPA, is based in the port city of San Francisco. Terra's only natural satellite, Luna, is also extensively populated, and the underground city of Lunaport is the fifth largest in the Federation. Sol IV, or Mars, is a Class K planet in the process of being terraformed for surface habitation, and a number of colonies with a total population of 580 million have been independent from Terran authority since the early 21st century. Extensive mining colonies are also located on Mercury (Sol I), Ceres, and Ganymede. Total system population: 31 billion

Talos (-119.4, -43.7, -24.0)

A binary system in a globular cluster (class 0 facilities), Talos is a red giant orbited by eleven planets. The fourth planet is Class M, and was once the site of an advanced spacefaring culture.

Prohibited P-007. No vessel, under any condition, emergency or otherwise, is to visit Talos IV. To do so is punishable by death.

Tantalus (-89.7, -11.7, -3.3)

A white dwarf orbited by six planets, of which the fifth planet is marginally Class M. Tantalus V is the site of the Tantalus Penal Colony, a rehabilitation facility for the criminally insane (class 1 facilities). Population of staff and inmates: 147

Prohibited P-179. Tantalus is a restricted area. Only authorized spacecraft are permitted in this system.

Tarsus (76.5, 138.5, -27.0)

A moderate size red-orange star with five planets (class 1 facilities), one of which, Tarsus IV, is Class M. A Federation colony of 8,050 was established on this planet about 2213, and was the site of a mass execution when Kodos, the Deputy Commander, ordered the deaths of half the population to conserve a dwindling food supply. Pop: 4330

Tellar [61 Cygni] (25.0, 60.1, 2.6)

Tellar is the fifth world of eight orbiting 61 Cygni A, an orange dwarf in a binary system (class 3 facilities). The home of an intelligent porcine species, Tellar is one of the founding worlds of the Federation and was one of the first inhabited planets discovered by Earth (Sol III) explorers. Tellarites, although belligerent by nature, have an advanced technology and are superb engineers. Pop: 11.8 billion

Tellun (-209.9, -38.9, -9.6)

A binary system composed of a yellow giant and a blue dwarf (class 2 facilities). Tellun supports seven planets, including two Class M worlds. The first planet, Troyius, and the second planet, Elas, have evolved independent humanoid cultures, and have been in a state of mutual warfare since interplanetary travel was discovered on Troyius. A truce was recently reached with the marriage of the Dohlman of Elas to the Troyian Prefect.

Thasus (45.8, 59.0, -12.6)

The third planet circling a small red dwarf (class 0 facilities), Thasus is a barren Class L world unsuitable for human life. Once thought to be uninhabited, recent findings show that a race of non-corporeal beings have evolved on this planet from conventional humanoid ancestors.

Theta (-151.3, -86.4, -3.7)

A blue giant in a binary system, Theta has eleven planets, the seventh of which is Class M (class 1 facilities). The Theta VII colony, established about 2147, is located underground to shield it against the seasonal flares of the system's primary. The chief industries include mining and subterranean farming. Pop: 14,500

Theta Cygni (61.8, 27.7, 23.2)

A moderate size white star with thirteen planets (class 0 facilities), Theta Cygni once supported an advanced spacefaring civilization on its twelfth planet. This civilization was destroyed by the flying parasites several decades before the planet's discovery in the 2180's, and few relics remain of the planet's native culture.

Tiburon [Omega Fornacis] (-121.9, 207.4, 236.4)

The third planet of seven orbiting Omega Fornacis A, a dim red dwarf in a binary system (class 3 facilities), Tiburon is the home world of an advanced humanoid race that is one of the most distant members of the Federation. Although the natives exhibit several physiological differences from the pan-humanoid norm, they are essentially human. It has even been suggested that they are a mutated form of homo sapiens, as Tiburon was also the name of a 20th century suburb of the Terran city of San Francisco. Pop: 891 million

Time Planet (-10.4, -51.8, -212.9)

The only planet of a dying red dwarf star (class 0
