Tellar is the fifth world of eight orbiting 61 Cygni A, an orange dwarf in a binary system.[1] The planet, called Miracht in the Tellarite language, is orbited by two moons, Kera and Phinda,[3] and supports a population of 11.8 billion Tellarites.[1]
Tellar itself is a rather unremarkable world.[3] Nearly fifty percent[2] of its surface is covered with water. Since the planet's axis stands at only 1.7 degrees from orbital perpendicular, there is no appreciable seasonal change during the Tellarite year. The average temperature at the surface is 83 degrees Fahrenheit by day and sixty-two degrees at night.[3]
One of the founding worlds of the United Federation of Planets,[1] Tellar has a permanent seat on the Federation Council.[2]
