Kappa Tau

Description of Site
In 2313.Q2.M1 the Odyssey discovered that one of the inner planets of the Kappa Tau star system has a solid and sustainable vein of duranium ore, with a number of other exotic compounds used in warp coils.

Other Notes
The star system has both an Outpost and a Starbase, serving as an anchor for the Licori Border Zone and would be expected to hold the approach to Betazed in the event of hostilities from that direction. As with a similar starbase/mine setup on Lapycorias VII, emergency holdout shelters have been constructed deep in the mines to allow for a small observation team to remain even if the starbase is abandoned. Absent such an event, the minders enjoy having the facilities of a starbase available as well as frequent visits from Arcadian traders on their way to Federation space.
