T'Khut

T'Khut (or T'Kuht) is the third planet in the Vulcan system, and shares a co-orbit with Vulcan. It is Class G, has one moon, and was naturally uninhabited until Vulcan colonized it.

Because of how big T'Khut appears in the night sky on Vulcan, it is often mistaken for a moon of Vulcan, although Vulcan has no moons. T'Khut is slightly smaller than Vulcan in size. ("Star Trek: Star Charts")

Background
''After Spock made a comment in "The Man Trap", that Vulcan had no moon, several planetoids appeared in orbit of Vulcan. Star Trek fans immediately called these other planets, and the name "T'Khut" and "T'Kuht" became popular. Soon authors were using these, and while some fans still prefer "T'Kuht", Star Trek authors have decided to stick with "T'Khut" instead.''
