Ceti Alpha VI was the sixth planet in the Ceti Alpha system, and the location of a Shedai conduit. In late 2267, Ceti Alpha VI exploded, causing serious damage to the ecology of its neighboring planet, Ceti Alpha V, after its orbit was affected. Its destruction was unwittingly caused by experiments on Mirdonyae artifacts undertaken by Doctor Carol Marcus and Lieutenant Ming Xiong of Vanguard Station (Starbase 47). (VAN novel: Storming Heaven)
