Te is a planet orbiting the star Svir. It is the homeworld of the Lekgolo species.[1]
Description
Te is a high-gravity terrestrial planet with an atmosphere primarily composed of nitrogen, helium, and methane.[1] It is orbited by 25 natural satellites, only two of which, Uhtua and Rantu, are known to be named. It has a temperature range of -20 C to 95 C (-4F to 203F) and is a quite large, rocky planet. This planet is known to have very high concentrations of rare metals in its crust, many of which serve as food for the Lekgolo worms.[1]
As a native Tier 3 species,[1] the Lekgolo also colonized a number of other worlds, including a gas giant formerly orbited by Forerunner constructs which were later consumed by the Lekgolo. This led to the Taming of the Lekgolo in the wake of the Covenant's first contact with the species.[2]
Trivia
- Te likely has the greatest population of any Covenant world, if each individual Lekgolo worm is considered a separate being.
- In the Chinese philosophy of Daoism, "Te" is used to represent the concept of virtue or potentiality, in Confucianism it represents the virtue of internal goodness and proper behavior toward others[3].
