Capitol (Tau Ceti)

TIMELINE

This article takes place in the 24th century of Distant Worlds.

OVERVIEW

Tau Ceti, long a source of fascination for people from Old Earth, now stands as a powerhouse in the stellar neighborhood, the superpower known as the Cetus Federal Republic.

The Capitol, located on the fifth planet of the Tau Ceti system, is a hostile yet tranquil world. Its thick clouds create a greenhouse effect, though the planet is not entirely shrouded by them. The soil of Capitol, while initially inhospitable, has been enriched to support large farms. The atmosphere was composed almost entirely of nitrogen before the arrival of the first settlers, and the salty oceans required filtration to become usable.

Upon arriving from Mars, the first settlers immediately focused their efforts on creating a breathable atmosphere for future settlers and generations. Robotic helpers toiled tirelessly, enriching the soil with materials brought from Earth, laying the foundation for a sustainable colony.
