OverviewEdit

This world was known also as Tellar Prime, Tellarus and as Miracht, was the fifth planet in the Tellar system. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation) Its location was in the Alpha Quadrant and particularly in the Pangeos system. (Decipher RPG module: Worlds) In addition, the planet had two moons known as Kera and Phinda. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)

According to Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual, it is the third planet, while Worlds states it is the fourth planet. Furthermore, Worlds states that it has only a single unidentified moon.

The surface of Tellar was noted for being unusually dry and had an inactive climate for a Class M planet with it being sunny most of the time at all locations. This light and dry atmosphere did not trap the heat sufficiently which meant that temperatures remained cool across the years. Furthermore, there was very little water that covered the planetary surface with whatever oceans being present being little more than large inland seas. Whilst on the surface the world lacked much water, it did by volume possess the same amounts of those on M Class worlds. The reason for this discrepancy was because the planetary continental shelf cantilevers over the oceans surface instead of sloping beneath it which traps much of the water underground. This lack of surface water meant that little of it evaporated into the air thus depriving any possibility of rainfall which was in turn why the planet was so dry and calm. Any sea water instead flowed through a network of subterranean caverns and collects inland into vast underground reservoirs. This process meant that the water was filtered of any impurities including salt and meant that these reserves consisted of fresh water. (Decipher RPG module: Worlds)

Tellar is the location of the Tellar Prime Shipyards. (TNG video game: Armada II) Starfleet's main outpost in the Tellar system was Starbase 223. (Last Unicorn RPG module: Planets of the UFP) The Starfleet Intelligence Operations School was located on Tellar. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The First Line: Starfleet Intelligence Handbook)

One settlement on Tellar was Hurutam. Hurutam was home to The Brightness Press, which published Dvoriv B'bargalah's Title to the Truth: Orion Historiography and Its Ownership in reference stardate 2/09. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Common Knowledge)

HistoryEdit

In an early extraterrestrial observation, Tellar was surveyed by the Vulcan civilization's starship Yeht Fai-Tukh. (Decipher RPG module: Starships)

In the late 24th century, Tellar's Federation Councillor was a Tellarite male named Bera chim Gleer. (TNG novel: A Time to Heal; DS9 novel: Trill: Unjoined; ST novel: Articles of the Federation) A few years earlier, Vagak Haggarak had that political position.
