YZ Ceti
is a small red dwarf star orbited by two planets, the star is located close to
Tau Ceti (less than 2 light years away). YZ Ceti is a flare star that
undergoes intense fluctuations in luminosity.
The primary world orbits the star less than 0.1 AU away and is
tidally locked. The planet has a somewhat mild climate
located in the star's narrow habitable zone. Despite the
temperature the planet is inhospitable to humans due its carbon
dioxide and nitrogen atmosphere, and the flares from the sun.
The planet's entire population live in three enclosed cities on
the dayside.
