The Tau Virginis system is a star system in the constellation Virgo. It is approximately 218 light years from Earth.
The primary component, Tau Virginis A, is a white A-type main sequence dwarf with an apparent magnitude of +4.23. It has a 9th magnitude companion, Tau Virginis B, 80 arcseconds from the primary.
The system is mostly a series of concentric asteroid belts arranged in rings. Though it has two distinct planets, one of which is a dwarf planet, about half the size of Earth with no atmosphere whatsoever. The other planet, Tau Virginis II is called by the locals Aurobythia (Ar-oh-by-thee-ah) after the local deity who they believe created the universe and all things within it.
The people, Auobyans (Ar-oh-by-ans), are not very religious at present but were at one time only about 100 years ago where they worshipped their gods on a daily basis and spent a great deal of time interpreting omens and potential prophecies from those omens. This was abandoned over time after they were introduced to the larger galactic world once they achieved warp capabilities. They are not affiliated with the Federation or any other group and overall keep to themselves only occasionally going beyond their own solar system.
