Ceti Alpha

In the fictional Star Trek universe, Ceti Alpha is presumably a star in the Alpha Quadrant and inside the jurisdiction of the United Federation of Planets. The Ceti Alpha system was home to at least six planets for a time. However Ceti Alpha VI is known to have undergone a catastrophic explosion which totally destroyed the planet. This explosion shifted the orbit of Ceti Alpha V laying waste to the planet's once rich ecosystem.
The name "Ceti Alpha" is itself fictional. The Bayer designation of an actual star would be Alpha Ceti. This contrasts with the real star name Tau Ceti, which has been widely used in science fiction.Template:ST-stub
