==Description==
==Description==
At first glance, Te appears to be a gaseous planet, primarily composed of [[nitrogen]], [[helium]], and [[methane]]. However, it actually has a solid surface, which is blocked from orbital view by its thick clouds.<ref name="bestiarum"/> It is orbited by 25 [[Moon|natural satellites]], only two of which, [[Uhtua]] and [[Rantu]], are known to be named.  
Te is a high-gravity terrestrial planet with an atmosphere primarily composed of [[nitrogen]], [[helium]], and [[methane]].<ref name="bestiarum"/> It is orbited by 25 [[Moon|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.<ref name="bestiarum"/>
 
The planet is notable for its rings of debris, comparable to the rings of Saturn or other gas giants in the Sol system. These rings are actually all that remains of a Forerunner complex or series of complexes that once orbited the planet, and which were consumed by the mineral-eating Lekgolo worms following their discovery.<ref>'''[[Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 270''</ref> Many colonies of Lekgolo now reside within the rings.

As a native [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier 3]] species,<ref name="bestiarum"/> 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.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 270''</ref>
