Editing Tau Ceti (section)

==Background==

The Enterprise computer's star chart was a drawing by Rick Sternbach that had originally been published, years earlier, on page 77 of the reference titled Spaceflight Chronology. This chart showed Earth commercial and exploration routes in the 2050s and 2060s, but no text attesting to this fact was included in the portion used onscreen, just the labeled names of the stars. The Starfleet HQ chart was the image behind the chair in the room where Dexter Remmick was killed in "Conspiracy". It appears there to be near Sol, Holberg 917G and Alpha Centauri.

Doctor Beverly Crusher mistakenly referred to Tau Alpha C as Tau Ceti in TNG: "Journey's End".

Tau Ceti is a real system in the Cetus constellation. Modern scientists have determined it is spectral class G8V.
