Kaetetôã is a planet in an unknown location, and notable for being the homeworld of the Tetatae species. In the Tetatae language, Kaetetôã literally means "Earth and Sky".

The system contains two different worlds habitable for humans, a planet (Kaetetôã) and a large moon (Far Country). Either of these could arguably be applied to the system as a whole, for which no name was established.

On two occasions, JumpShips from the Draconis Combine jumping out of the Salford system misjumped to Kaetetôã's system by accident: On 9 November 2510, the Leviathan-class JumpShip Raiden tried to jump from Salford to Brailsford but misjumped to Kaetetôã instead and was wrecked in the process. Almost exactly 546 years later, on 7 November 3056, the Scout-class JumpShip Telendine suffered the same fate in an attempt to jump from Salford to a classified destination. In both cases, surviving DropShips and lifeboats made planetfall on Kaetetôã. Untypically as it may be, both JumpShips emerged from the misjump not inert but speeding towards the planet at high speed (around 700,000 km/h), and the wreckage of the Raiden ended up orbiting Kaetetôã.

It is not kown wether the Raiden materialized at the Zenith or Nadir Jump Point of the system, or possibly an irregular pirate jump point. Initial plans of the crew called for undocking the DropShips after six days of travel towards Kaetetôã, indicating this to be the minimum travel distance.

Geography

Kaetetôã appears to be roughly similar to earth, and sports plains, rivers and jungles as well as mountains. Survivors from the Raiden colonized the world with three separate settlements.
