Tayac System

The Tayac system is a small planetary system in the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth), made up of a G-type main sequence star, a terrestrial planet, a gas giant, a dwarf planet, and an asteroid belt. Starting in 2546, Dr. Thessaly Tayac, for whom the system is named, conducted a long-term [research project](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RMXymp7EGn-project-vespa) on Tayac I to explore the possibility of weaponizing the [terraformation process](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3qgj8vjnj-terraforming) and [technology](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bmNrZOQ2pQ-terraformer). Thanks to his experiments and those of his successors, the surface of [Tayac I](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RX33y7kp9q-tayac-i) has become too unstable to support permanent terraforming. Tayac is best known as the home of [the Ark](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0qnNMX5lAk-the-ark), a neutral library and archive built for the use of all civilizations.
