Ceres was the smallest identified planetoid in the Sol system and the only one in the asteroid belt. It was discovered on January 1, 1801, and was named for the Roman goddess of mythology. This was the first asteroid to be colonized by Humans.
The planet Ceres was named after this planetoid by a group of Humans who would later become known as the Ten Tribes of Ceres. (TOS novelization: Friday's Child)
Ceres became the site of a UNSF base within 3 years after the founding of the service. (FASA RPG module: Star Fleet Intelligence Manual: Agent's Orientation Sourcebook)
FASA calls it the United Nations Space Forces while the Spaceflight Chronology calls it the United Nations Solar Fleet.  This article is a stub relating to a planet, moon or planetoid. You can help our database by expanding on it.
