What we know about them

Tau Cetians

Friendly neighbors who'll show us the ropes in space. They already know we're coming.

  • Tau Ceti is about 12 light-years away. It's the farthest of our close neighbors with a civilization.
  • They'll be among our very first friends in space, and they'll show us the ropes.
  • They have brownish skin and look human to a degree, but they have no eyelashes.
  • They talk out loud, and also by telepathy, mind to mind.
  • They know we're coming. The Essassani have even shown them photos of us.
  • It'll take time. Getting ready to bond starts after 50 years, and the full bond comes after 100.
